It gives inspiration to look at your drawings!

Well I've just finished draining the life essence out of another unsuspecting artists and delved back into the dark arts of channeling the old masters of the past to give me the ability to present another piece of artwork for your viewing pleasure. If you wish to see the process of this painting done in oils then please visit my blog.

Cheers,
Rick.

Wet hair follows the form that it rests on as it becomes more dense with water. In this painting the hair also rests upon the arch of the ear making a sort of bridge from the curve of the skull to her ear. If there was more to her head it would look very unusual indeed.

Well done.

Perhaps some "drip tracks" ( I don't know what else to call them) on her face, as well as the drops that haven't fallen yet.

Her left eye looks very slightly larger than her right (left in terms of anatomy, right in terms of placement on the work)... but given the shape of her face, the direction she's looking and the POV, I'm not sure it wouldn't look like that in a photo either. Illusionary shapes caused by perspective are the rule, not the exception. She has a very straight-sided face with very prominent cheekbones, which seems to lend itself to that kind of distortion. Anne Hathaway is the same way, the apparent shape of her face changes with the camera angle from which you look.

The fact that the height of the face above the water is just precisely that needed to make her canine teeth touch the water's surface but no other teeth gives her a slightly wild animal/vampire look. Is that intentional? It's interesting, whether it's deliberate or not.

Ironmaul,

Now that is a great piece of art.    8)

Are you going to be doing any of the art for the new HARP monsters book?

Thanks Alwyn, I appreciate the kind words.

No, I won't being doing any monsters, I think it was mentioned that GCP has already allocated artists for that project in the director's briefing IIRC.

Cheers,
Rick.
