Art meme #3 - Kevin for de_nugis

[amberdreams]

I was going to do something a bit more fancy and add the angel tablet somehow, but thought this ended up looking better nice and simple.
The palette de_nugis chose was number 16

I initially thought this would be very pale and not very Kevin but actually it was perfect on a black background.
And here is Kevin the Prophet, advanced placement.


I used this photo of Kevin as my reference, and painted it in PaintTool Sai because that allows that lovely soft blending.

Edited to say - any concrit gratefully received!

Beautiful and heart wrenching with that tear track. There's definitely some solid skin tones to work with in that palette.

Oh man, I have no idea about palettes and art techniques. /o\ I DO know that that is very moving and so heartbreaking. *sniff* It also looks amazing. Gorgeous work hun. <3

That is awesome, thank you! So sad, but the darkness and the way he's kind of blurring into it really work, and you did an amazing job with the tear, and the film of water in his other eye.

I don't know how you artists do it. I'm looking at those colors, and I'm looking at that gorgeous pic, and I'm thinking there must be some sort of magic spell in between there somehow. So nice.

*pets Kevin*

Lovely work. The sparkle of the moisture in his eyes is beautifully done!
