Artist's Comments

"...are familiar faces,
Worn out places, worn out faces,
Bright and early for the daily races,
Going no where, going no where.

Their tears are filling up their glasses,
No expression, no expression,
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow,
No tomorrow, no tomorrow.

And I find I kind of funny, I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had,
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take,
When people run in circles its a very, very mad world,
Mad world..."

This was a test, I want to start trying a looser, more painterly approach to my work. Did no line art for this one, like I normally would, just blocking in shapes and refining. It's mostly referenced from a Chrysalis still. Pulled it off in roughly 5 hours, hope you like it.

Very nice, even without doing a line art it still looks great.

This is awesome. I need my line art, without it, i'd be lost. But the fact that you did this with out using line art makes me want to try :)

Anyway awesome work mate.

Technique is something you can learn. Skill is something you gain on your own

I didn't know what I was looking at for a second; photo or painting. Incredible realism and such beauty. :wow:
