Done as an entry for the 'Faces of PB' event at pixelbrush, portraying Tasi Zsuzsa (Akasha). My initial intention was to keep part of the picture relatively abstract, or surrealist, but that didn't work out too well, and I had to call it finished just before the deadline.

Mostly painted in Photoshop; I used Painter for a few touch-ups in the foreground vegetation.

Started as a preliminary excercise for my then illustration class, it turned out one of my better traditional works.

Painted mostly for practice (and because it is one of my favourite films in terms of photography), I used a screen capture of the film Hero for reference.
Attention went mostly to the garment, so the likeness isn't very strong.

A sketch portrait of my friend Colin, sometime in June 2004. It was also an experiment using a hard, flattened square brush in order to simulate a marker-like effect.]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2006 10:22:52 +0000 http://eilidh.cgsociety.org/gallery/377578

A portrait of my friend, actually painted a while before I met him, from a picture of him I found online.
The title is simply his username (bholdr / gtsouk) on irc.gr, but it seemed fitting to the pose and look.

A somewhat moody self portrait, painted in November 2003. Mostly painted in Photoshop; I used Painter for the background and several details on the face and hair.]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2006 09:50:37 +0000
