A Portrait of a Friend.
Back in mid December I was Drunk, high on life and the Christmas spirit I grabbed a friend and Fur at one of my parties (called Beatings, for those that don't know) and dressed him up in scraps of velvet, bed sheets, Christmas ornaments (which did not make it into the painting), and tin foil took a bunch of photos while others held studio lights and LEDs. I started this back in December, but took a bunch of commissions and put this on hold. A little note, the paint is still setting and as a result of that and the lighting all the details and texture on the robes were lost in this photo. Once its dry in a few days/weeks I will oil it out (apply a glossy layer of my own mix) and that will bring it all back and enhance the color.

Oh damn, that came out epic Ryngs! The lighting has come quite a way since the last time I caught a glimpse of this. And gosh, even the subtle imperfections in the skin. Damn sir...the detail! Just mind-blowing work, you can make anyone look like a hero!
I can't wait to see it again when the black pops out, going to be so cool! Eeee. <3

I like the way you've managed ot make him look both young and old, both dark and light at the same time. I thought at first that the nearly angular look of his head was a mistake, but I quickly figured out that you'd done it on purpose to make him look more other-worldly. You're getting to be quite stunning with oils, ratty! *hugs*
