I decided to start again with his hair, 'cause I didn't like it, also still working on skin detailing... and I've barely started on the necklaces and the cloak. Ho hum.
I have been utterly exhausted for weeks now - work stuff - and I have decided to give the 29 Faces a miss this time round as a result. It really annoys me. But I'm just so tired.
Zzzzzzz.
Woefully behind on the 29 faces. Here is a wip of face number three. Another one of Eirian. I was listening to some of Ludovico Einaudi's beautiful piano compositions while painting this - one of them is called Divenire - meaning 'to become'. Seemed appropriate somehow since in this portrait Eirian has begun reverting to his dark elf roots.
You can listen to Divenire HERE. It's amazing.
This really struck a chord with me and almost had me in tears... because no one should get to tell you who you are or how you should live your life.
Yes, I'm a girl who likes to dress like a boy... what?
