Description

I painted this picture in between revision and exams and the like, so some parts are a bit poor because of guilt trips and panic attacks.

Meet Johannes and his droid, reference photo taken by Josefin J who has kindly granted me permission to reproduce it.

Process: sketched picture on paper and then traced it into Photoshop, coloured in Photoshop 6 and Painter Classic. Total time: ??? 12 hours? more? Not sure.

Reason for painting this: Johannes is so pretty, agreed? *I'm NOT a fangirl* Plus I needed a break from exams.

I love the use of red and white here! The only thing I see is you say it's a boy, but he looks rather female. I think it's the hairstyle and clip that throws me off. Also, the nail polish gives it away...

The detail and realism is amazing, except for the glove which looks a little flat, and the neck tie which seems to blend in with the droid. I thought the necktie was part of the droid at first, then realised it's separate.

Those are minor details though. Overall, great picture!! I love the red and white used! Great job!

this is great, beautiful choice of colors
i'm tired of people criticizing stuff that looks flat...i think that flatness can be used interpretively, and it does not bother me here. Neither in the lighting nor the figure.
If you want perfect dimensions, take a picture of it, you know?

Fine rendering, nice limited palette, the common problems: the hair is a bit waxy and the eyes are set at different height.

Nice render, looks almost photographic, very different to your last two pictures - keep up the good work.

Wow - The face looks like a photograph! He does have a very big hand though! :)

He's got a very 'pretty' face for a boy! :) lol

Excellent piece! Very well done!!!! :)

he looks real alright. not being discriminant here, but for me the image that he's projecting is that he's gay.

boy? oh no..

oh and there's something wrong with left side of his nose

Very pretty "girl" face, wonderful "boy" hands and arms. Lovely little he/she enigma! The colors are perfect! The eyes and lips are to die for!!!!
 
Avatar PurgedKel

 12/21/03 @444

He's very cute! Well done.
I like detail on his left arms. The muscles add a very sexy appeal to it almost (For me anyway, I'm bit weird though apparently)
I don't think it looks like a girl atall personally, probably because I just like that style in guys. *shrugs* +7

Edit: Is it possible to get a url to the reference image? 'Twould be interesting to see.

mm, another great work from you, again, like everyone else, i love the hair and the eyes. I was a lil thrown off when i read the title, but theres the subtle details in the structure of the face that let me know its a guy, the pronounced jaw, the structured chin, and the "stronger" looking lips...and the bulkier build of the body. One thing im glad about is that u used green for the eyes.....red and green are my fav complimentary colors and they go sooooo well together!

.....gah....dammit acid, why arent you 1337 yet!!? "anger managment" alone shouldve boosted u in there imo. i love all ur jrock pics, wanna see more!.......maybe some jpop?...*cough*.....<winks>

Very good work with a minimal palette. Whites are awfully hard to paint. the reds seem to need darker shadows for punch, but not too much more. Especially like the metal trim on the robot. Solid piece in every way.

Does anyone notice the tie? Obviously a boy by muscle structure, the face seems small for the body but a male face can look very femanine with only a little makeup. Great peice, I love the look in his eyes...

read the description, it is a copy.

the photographer is Josefin J, who is also known as lovestyle on deviantart, not sure what the URL for the photo is, but you must check out her site, she is so awesome.

Yeah, this is really nice. probably your best out of what you have here. It has such a like slick near future style. very cool. your subjects remind me a lot of new-wavers like The Cure.

BTW, could your name 'acidlullaby' be a cure reference?

As much as I adore The Cure, my username is actually a Placebo reference, Brian Molko once used it in an interview to describe the song "Commercial for Levi"

I like his attitude... and people need to stop fraggin out that he's not a manly huge guy with huge shoulders and no neck. ;P. parts of this are photorealistic O_O! Kudos.

simply great, as are all your works now i finally get round to seeing them.

Only thing i would like different is the title, i would rather have it that the title didnt mention his gender, just so there is a bit more mystery .
