A sketchydoodle painting

[la_belle_laide]

Does anyone mind looking at a sketch that I did (a few months ago) and then painted in OpenCanvas?

Tony Stark.



I always said that RDJ looks better a bit worse for the wear; this point was totally overstated in the best possible way in Iron Man, don't you think? ;)

Anyway I think I overpainted him with too much light and shadow.

Funny story, as I was painting this I had his eyes really bright at first, and from across the room it really stood out. My goofy dog Haku started growling and when I asked him what was wrong, he came up to the computer screen and started barking at my painting. I guess he thought it was looking at him too much. LOL@ my Haku! ^_^

You know he looks like Jesus, right? ;)

Actually, though, I really like the glow in this. It makes him seem very immediate.

Hey, I came across something funny tonight that I was thinking about posting over at the castle, but then I realized that maybe you'd be the only one to really get it, so: The Charge of the Beeotch (http://witchhaven.com/?page_id=20)

(Read The Charge of the Bunny Goddess there, too. LOL)

TJ, I was so hoping that you'd take a peek at this! LOL, I was rather trying for him to look like RDJ but let's not deny, I do apparently have some weird "Tony Stark = jesus" thing going on in my psyche. (http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m157/importantphotos_album/elohhell.jpg)

You do like the glow? I'm glad, I worried that I overdid it, because I like to make with the shiny. I'm not sure what you mean by seeming immediate though: I'm kind of retarded with the art stuff so you'll have to be a bit more prosaic with me. *smacks self*

That was maybe the most fantastic thing I've read in quite a long time. *saves link like mad*

Thank you, TJ! :D

O_O

Have you ever considered getting some therapy for that? *snickergrin*

Oh, by immediate I just meant that he looks as if he is truly right there, reach-in-and-pull-him-out close. :)

And now I wanna do digital aaaaaarrrt!! D:

Heck no, it's way too much fun. Also I've been sexualizing Jesus for years now, so I suppose it's not too great a leap. ;D

Man, don't say things like that so close to my bed time. ^_~

I would love to see what you did with digital art. Open Canvas is such fun!

LOL, more power to you then! Believe or not, my ex was very Jesus-like. Or St. Francis-like. Or, well, for that matter, Snow White-like. Thank goodness I'm over that now! :)

*snicker* Sorry. (Erm, not really! *hehehe*)

I used to do stuff with Paint and a crappy out-dated graphics program (something generic that came with my hand-me-down camera), but it was pretty basic, so I mostly just made icons and wallpapers. I really want to try Open Canvas when I have a computer that a) is all mine and b) can handle it. *sigh*
