Hey how ya guys doin. I was just thinking all I ever post in this forum are random doodles from various classes I've taken. So I figured I'd make a thread of work I've actually spent some time on.
This was my third attempt at an oil painting (and my first two being landscapes). So even though it has its weak spots I'm still fairly pleased with the end result. (Although the sketch beneath all that paint was the most badass one I've ever made... damn I wish I had scanned that into the computer before I started painting). I chose to paint on an 11 x 11 inch piece of wood rather than traditional canvas because I liked the texture and I thought the cracks gave it character. This was an assignment for a class in which we were supposed to depict how we imagined a popular story. I asked if that included films as well and my professor said yes as long as it was a well known movie. I based this on the final scene in Fight Club. I was trying to show the two men are really the same guy without using any overplayed cliche'. So I made the men connected at the hand. I thought it was a nice very subtle way to get my poit across but it forced me to put my seated man in a somewhat awkward position which is why he ended up with less detail and looking slightly out of place. Wow I seam to be rambling on and on and I'm sure most of you won't read this whole thing so I'll end it here and just say more to come. (artwork that is)
I will eventually get around to putting something here. for the meantime here is a link to my portfolio
