A Thorne in my side

 

Thomas Thorne

I have now watched BBC's Ghosts. And in the words of OK Go 'It's not passing fascination now,

It's obsession'. 

Here's a painting of dead, romantic poet Thomas Thorne. I just love the way he mooches around in a perpetual state of melancholic pining, looking like he's moments away from a dramatic break-down.

When you see my faces...

Once again I took some time to participate in the 29 Faces challenge. Paint 29 faces during the month of September. I don't think I have ever managed 29 faces in the years I have taken part in the challenge, but it does get me painting. So here are the ones I did this time around.

I have been asked on several occasions why I only paint men. Not something I ever thought about until it was pointed out to me. Well, I'm not one for binary gender constructs, but here is a bunch of ladies... or are they? Who knows? Who cares? Be who you are and be happy! :-D

When you see my face...

 

Raleigh Samson

... hope it gives you hell! (Samson to Cullen at some point, probably.)

Hokay.... so between a wisdom tooth on the move, commissions and day job, I'm also doing the 29 Faces challenge for September. Of which I will post more faces later. but for now, here's my take on Dragon Age character Raleigh Samson, looking dishevelled and suffering from Lyrium withdrawal. His tale is a sad one indeed. It all happened because I came across the actor Jared Bankens and thought he kinda had a Samson vibe to him and because my wisdom tooth was driving me crazy.

September means...

 It's '29 faces' time! So here's face number 1. :-)

John Shepard

Commander John Shepard - retired

Of course he lived... and then he got to spend his happily ever after with his significant other. That's what happened. :-)

Beards and pockets

Linden with pockets

Fancied painting a beard and some more Asian inspired clothing, so here's a little sketch of my trainer Linden with his hands in his pockets. :-)

Pretty as a petal

Hadn’t painted my elf Freyn for a while. His face is as always based on delightful Colin Morgan, as per request by one of my very good friends who is a huge Merlin fan and suggested I use him. They thought he’d make a good elf, and they were right. :-)
