My submission for the NG Print Calendar 2010.

Really enjoyed painting this; it's pretty simple and I managed to create it in two sittings (plus some minor adjustments at the end). I love this character, and this is what he looks like in my head when playing the Dad 'n Me game!

Very dark in nature but also very precise, not a pixel out of place. The fact that there are still red eyes in the sockets gives it that "is it really dead?" feeling, almost like it could end up being Zombie Dad.

The realism really gives you a feel of what "dad" really represents. He is downright intimidating and the eyes add a nice touch.

This is a real work of art imo, and it will sit on my desktop for a while.

Keep it up!

What I love about music and art is the ability to adjust my imagination to create my own desired story or scene based on the tone or atmosphere. This my friend, achieves this.
Staring directly into the daddy's eyes brings me into realization that this is the last thing I'll be seeing besides my own insides. What an amazing and intimidating painting this is! Good work 10/10 and I do not throw perfect scores as easily as others do.

Great contribution.. I think it'd be pretty awesome to see, but I'd feel kinda creeped out. lol.

For an ENTIRE month, you got Dad just pissed and staring at you with his blood-red eyes... :P

Anyways, awesome work. Love the details, it almost looks like a photo... 10'd. 5/5'd.

September 15, 2009

Author's Response:

Thank you. Yeah, I didn't ask for a specific month, but it would probably work best in one of the winter months since it is such a dark image. I mean.. you COULD have him staring you down during Easter holidays or Valentine's Day, but would you really want... hmm.. wait, I don't see a problem with this, now that I think about it.

Thank you for your comment!

"Like it alot"

date: September 14, 2009

did you do it digitally, or physically on paper/canvas. Either way it's really refined...I gotta work on some more stuff in color. Only thing I'd say is what my art teachers say, which is do something with the negative space (yes, it pisses me off too) and maybe part of that could be adding more diverse lighting or other effects.

September 15, 2009

Author's Response:

Hi turma13. It is a digital painting created in Adobe Photoshop CS2.

I appreciate that you'd want to put into practice what you are learning from your art tutors, but I would also beware of building more than is necessary in a picture just for the sake of having all the space filled.

When you want to draw the eye towards something you can either have the object stand alone (or nearly alone; in this case with darkened purples to accommodate a feature central object of the skull mask), or you can use shapes of colour/shade throughout the image (even filling in the negative space). The only sections that hold negative space are in the top corners of the image, and I don't think they hold a significant percentage of space.

Depending on the type of art you are working with, you might want to challenge your art tutors about negative space. "Negative" space does not necessarily equate to a "negative" aspect of an image and can often be a way of enhancing the focal point of an image, overall - like with vignetted illustrations/icons/logos.

I'm grateful for your review. Thanks!
