Copy of Odd Nerdrum Painting

[StarlightGloom]

It's definitely an interesting piece! I would say that you should also post a copy of the Odd Nerdrum painting for comparison and for a reference point.

[Rebeccak]

StarlightGloom,

You are absolutely right :) I will try to post a comparison scan later tonight.

Thanks for the post :)

TTYL,

Looks good, although I would recommend cutting back your usage of the smudge tool.

hmm, whats wrong with using the smudge tool?
I am not being sarcastic, by the way. I really want to know why you say that.

I liked the colors and the final out put. But i didn't get the expression on face, may be because of eyes.

[NOOB!]

oooooooh! looks quite oily.*as in oil paints* great work.

[Rebeccak]

Thanks NOOB!

appreciate the comments. BTW, I checked out your WIP painting, you should post a B/W view in the Anatomy Review thread I'm running ~ stay tuned for the more advanced / muscle - related stuff.

Great work! But to say something helpful, the nose sticks out a little, I would work it a little more into the face, looks a little comic-ish with that extremely red nose...

[Rebeccak]

Good comment! I will try to work on this a bit later. In the meantime, check out my Anatomy Review thread :)

nice piece so far:). my only thing is maybe below the nose could use some shadow.I agree with StarlightGloom, wait to see the reference;). keep up the great work and I already check your anatomy review thread. Thanks for sharing with us:thumbsup: ,Rebecca!!

[ceresz]

Ohhh!! really nice piece so far, can't wait to see more.

[Rebeccak]

Androgs, skurai,

Thanks for the comments! I hope to get back to this piece soon :)

hey! cool copy- I think odd nerdum's work gets pretty heavy with the paint, really emulating rembrandt- I'd suggest faking the effect optically by going a little crazier with the brushwork as it goes to the highlights.

[vivien82]

very nice, i would like to see the original just out of curiousity...:thumbsup:

Here's the original, courtesy of 0.48secs worth of googling. 'Woman with doorknob' by Odd Nerdrum.

Odd name, isn't it?

Rebecca, I really like the way it's going so far...keep it up! One change I would make is that the color of the nose is very different to the rest of the face, maybe make it a little orangey and colder in color.
Also, the left sclera looks much greyer than the right (our right.) Aside from that, it is going really well and I love the area below the bottom lip!! Keep going! :thumbsup:

[Rebeccak]

Thanks, guys for the posts *chuckle* yep, with the Anatomy Thread going on, I've gotten kind of caught up....speaking of which ~ paperclip! Where are your posts! :)

~Rebeccak

[nebezial]

try working in soft and hard light modes, in my own experience they are best for acchieving that realistic feeling of "deep skin" luminosity

[Rebeccak]

thanks, Nebezial, I will try to get back to these as soon as I can! Been pretty busy with the Anatomy thread ~ but I need to get crackin'! :)

~Rebeccak

[jmBoekestein]

Wow, nice how you put in the features of her face. Really good.

Are you going for the same colours or ar you going to re-own it? :)

[Rebeccak]

*Guilt coming over me* erm...I've been kind of busy *looks at floor and cries* Would you hate me if I didn't update for a...while...heh...

Sigh. But I will move on and so should you! Off I go to practise my, ahem, improving.. anatomy.

(music starts: 'I wanna be like you.')

Nice, I'm a fan of Odd Nerdrum also... his paintings are a little eerie and nightmarish is putting it lightly. The mood that his paintings have sets him apart from any other painter I've seen. Very nicely done in capturing that mood even though it's an exact copy.

[Rebeccak]

Khanh703,

Thank you! Glad to know there is another Odd Nerdrum fan out there! I was beginning to feel I was the only one...

jmBoekestein,

I know...I'm so...*ashamed*... ;)

paperclip,

You guys are a tough crowd!!! Can nothing keep you happy? Candy? Soda? Maybe french fries? Mmm...french fries!!! :)

I'm from Ireland, so I'll leave you to guess what I'd like... :D

[Rebeccak]

I read your response to JeanGenie's post ~ hahahahahahahah!!! Stereotypes are true!!! Well, if you look very closely at my "Woman with Doorknob"...

~Rebeccak

[ceresz]

mwahahahahahaha!!! hehehehehe...heh heh heeeh...
nice on:D

[paperclip]

Of course! Why do you think they're stereotypes?

Just like all americans live in McDonald's (I'm half american so I can say that!) and all koreans are...ehm....I don't actually know any! (insert random stereotype)

[Rebeccak]

I just love this stuff. :scream:

~Rebeccak

[Rebeccak]

Heh, note my reply to JeanGenie :

Koreans grow Kim Chi for hair ~ no, seriously! It's quite tasty! :)

Mmm...Kim Chi... :)

Works as hair spray, too! Mmm...hairspray!

I love it!
If you look very closely at THIS image..you'll find that Leonardo da Vinci was actually irish.

(which i made a few months ago, how appropriate now!)

Mmm...Kim Chi... :)

~Rebeccak

hmm... i'd think she'd be a little more thrilled to be holding that guiness... oh well, maybe it's her first one of the night!

rebecca - i've been away for awhile - thanks so much for all your hard work in contributing to this forum - your work is truly inspiring - i hope to get some work for you to crit real soon...

[paperclip]

...and all Koreans subsist entirely on kim chi (had to look it up! I came away from that post enlightened..) ... which they use both as food and as hairspray. Also for charcoal fixant.

[DZL]

paperclip - that is great!

[Rebeccak]

My god, you people are keeping me young! :scream:

paperclip, you have just confirmed my suspicions, Leonardo and Mona Lisa were gettin' it on!

mattconway,

you're totally welcome and I look forward to your *and paperclip's* posts! :)

How do you people post so fast? You're like CGTalk Hummingbirds!!! Vvvvvtttt! :scream:

~Rebeccak

[Rebeccak]

CHARCOAL FIXANT!!! *looks stunned in a moment of revelation*

[paperclip]

We've been using guinness as a fixant for, well, everything for the past century or two.

By the way, I'm rather sad-- the drink in your picture is red and not black with a white head as a proper guinness should be. You failed your irish test, but you can always retake it! :D

[Rebeccak]

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! I KNEW I couldn't pass for the Irish, arrr! But let's see IF YOU CAN HOLD A CHOPSTICK, MISSY!!! I challenge you to an ethnic face-off 2005!!!

Hiiiiiiiiiiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
