Artist's Comments
Here it is! The wonderful Zachary Quinto as Sylar from Heroes. That is one bunch of yum right there. It is called Take It All because that is what he says to this guy who can't speak English- he has lost his powers but when he is healed he's going to become strong again and 'take it all.' SWEET.
Fully digital, painted in PaintTool Sai 95% of the time just on one layer- bg added last so it might not gel perfectly on some monitors. Touched up and refined in Artweaver. Took about 25 hours, most of those spent 'tweaking' the damn image.... still not perfect T_T But I am happy with it. No watermark again, I'm not prolific enough to have to warrant it yet- but this image should only be viewed here unless I otherwise state it. So no stealing! :> Critque-ers!! Few points-- - Not sure how well this will appear on monitors because as usual I favour the dark and grungy images and I have a high res screen, but I can submit a Lite version at another time. - I could have done *way* more on this I know, and there is artistic license involved from the original image used, but I had to finish it before I got bored of it! Disclaimer: Heroes, the character Sylar and the reference image used do not belong to me! This painting is mine, but simply in homage to a wonderful character and series. UPDATE: -fixed blue lighting -fixed left ear -fixed hair/fringe -fixed bg -fixed contrast -fixed crop size Comments
 By far the best one up to date in your gallery!!The skin texture, the eye, the blood...I mean wow!!!!!!25 hours well spent!!!!I love the way you incorporated the black shadow with that bluish light source..
Thank you!! I struggled with the skin for a long time because there were so many random colours in the reference image, but I enjoyed smearing it about in the end haha And I have no idea what the blueish lightsource was meant to be, but I loved that bit too- one of my reasons for painting it.
Thank you so much for the fav- I'm always thankful for your support! x -- HE'S DEAD, JIM.  OH he's so hot. I love me some ZQ. He is a GQ motherfucker. Lovely picture m'dear!
-- *DestyStar Hells yeah!! And thanks for the awesome comment and fav ^_^ x
-- HE'S DEAD, JIM.  This is really stunning. The way you managed to play with the light and the shading is particularly impressive. Love the realism of his blood-smeared lips...
 -- "What business does a Vulcan, a Man and a Tribble have in my sickbay? Speak quickly!"  thank you! I still think I could have done more... but thank you so much for the awesome comment and the fav! I like my pictures to have a darker edge so I had a lot of fun painting the blood ^_^  -- HE'S DEAD, JIM. I had to peep at that one again...it looks like you even gave the guy pores..very cool...the way you put the shadows in really gives it a dramatic appearance...And being a dramatic artist is the name of the game!!!you nailed it on this one for sure...Cant wait to see what you do next!!
I'm going to choose my next painting today- I'll let you know what I do!! x
-- HE'S DEAD, JIM.  That is bloody awesome!
-- Sometimes you gotta dance like no one's watching, and love like it's never gonna hurt. |
