Title: (No) Sympathy for the devil
Name: Serge Birault
Country: France
Software: Photoshop

A caricature of my beloved one and the mother of my sons. She's a big fan of the Rolling Stones and ... Hello Kitty (T_T).
I was inspired by the last post of Andreas Rocha (the amazing "one ticket, please"). So thx Andreas ^^

This picture is dedicated to all the victims of New Rock shoes ...

Great concept, well executed.

Awesome painting, I really dig the demon. My own crit was that it took me a second to figure out what was going on because of the position of where she was walking compared to where his legs were and his tail. One would think a tail follows after the legs. But that aside I think it's great, well done!

I love this image. The subtle shading creates a great sense of atmosphere. It took me a while to notice the guy stairing out of the peep hole!

Amazing stuff Serge. Very interesting style! It's nice to see more diversity coming through the galleries. It's tiring seeing cliché after cliché, so your work is a breath of fresh air!

The only critique i'd really have is that for the contrast of light on her face and body, she doesn't seem to cast much of a shadow.

Wicked. Love her face.

One thing that bothers me a bit is the size of her feet - they almost look clown-like in size.

Samuraikuroi and LadyPurple: Thx a lot, much appreciate !

mindrot: You're right, she has very big shoes. I exagerate a lot the size of their feet but it was volonteer, New Rock shoes look like astronaut boots ^^

erilaz: the contrast of this picture was very hard to evaluate. In fact, I had begin to work on her face first. I tried to do all the others elements accordingly to her face. So, I think that her face have a good contrast and all the rest had not :D

davincheee: I love caricature and you are one the best caricaturist of this forum. So, thx a lot ^^

I'm loving all the little details. like the Stones poster in the background relating to the title, the neon sign hell, and the graffiti 'purg-' is that purgatory?.
but mainly, fantastic characature, a very cool scene.:thumbsup:

Love the style and subject matter especially. I was just in an industrial shop yesterday and saw those type of boots. Not for me personally but love seeing them on women. Your lady must be thrilled by this I bet.:thumbsup:

Wow, the expressions really got me. Especially her face, wooosh. It´s kind of subtle but still so strong! Great piece. :thumbsup:

I agree on the leg and the execution of the boots looks a little flat but otherwise I don´t have anything to crit.

mv
10-13-2008, 07:59 PM
really cool! There's some confusion in the legs area though, the values and lighting are too similar between both characters, and some shapes are continued from one character to another ( his back leg to her left leg, and his front leg kinda looks like it could come out of her skirt). But overall its a great picture, very nice style.

Russta

nice one dude. Had a thought that maybe she should be stepping on the tail with her left foot. Doing that would probably open up the image a bit, plus at the moment it looks like she will trip over the taught part of the devils tail with her left foot. Lookin good tho

PapaNinja

Michael-Williamson, R3N3LL (even she's not goth :D) and Orbits : Thx for yours comments ^^

Russta: You're right, The compo with the tail wasn't easy to do. I tried a lot of things and use the better in my point of view but it should look better, I'm aggree. Thx for this comments ^^

Great rendering! I agree with some people here that the composition is a bit confusing, but still, a cool piece.
