"Blood and Wine" 2008

This piece came about at a really interesting "technical reevaluation phase" for me. I decided I was going to cast aside the nagging of my old art teachers and use heavier photo reference than I allowed myself to in the past. I mean sure, I've used photos as source material plenty, just not with great detail. I guess I was mostly tired of my work looking unfinished. The working title was "Yes I can." It's essentially a self portrait, though I took some... ehh, "artistic license" with it.

I've put up a detailed tutorial on my website so you can see how I did this one: [link] (it's on the homepage, bottom left).

That reminds me, I'm lazy and need to actually make a tutorials section... ok, that's rambling.

Words always come short to me when I'm trying to describe what my eyes still can't believe... Beauty does exist in this world...

Woah!

This is amazing! Love the rich details and textures! I actually thought this was a photo at one point XD!

Overall, this is well-done. How long does it normally take you to do these?
