Artist's Comments

A semi-realistic version of Renji, this time. Saw this stock photo and it kind of needed to be Renji.

It's titled "On the Outside," but Renji's clearly inside a building! Hmmm, what could I mean?! :D At any rate, feel free to speculate in the comments on what's going through Renji's mind and what he's looking at.

Another attempt at a background: I really ought to do some paintings without people in them to get practice in non-human objects. Sigh.

Photoshop, taking several days, punctuated by about six weeks. :)

Bah. It's no fun doing paintings of non-people objects.

Also, I saw this exact same series of stock photos just a little while ago and thought I really needed to do something with them, because the posing and lighting is most excellent, but I haven't come up with anything yet. Now thanks to you, I don't have to think of anything! Yay! :D

Love the purple/orange lighting going on. :)

I bet I know what he feels "on the outside" about.

:D I knoooow! But I still suck at non-people objects! Especially when there's Dramatic Lighting(tm) on them!

Thanks!

Yup. I know what I had in *my* mind that he was looking at and thinking as I was painting. I suspect most people will have the same idea. XD

Duuude, Dramatic Lighting(tm), for me, is the worst thing ever when it comes to painting. There's such a sharp contrast in the colors and values everywhere, that I feel like I'm doing it wrong and it'll end up looking too cel-shady, so I soften it up and add a bit more of a variation in shades in there, and then it looks weird and fuzzy and less Dramatic and blah.

More training is required!
