Description



When she found him, he seemed almost like dead. He had his face turned down in the frosty, blood covered moss. His body was lifeless and his skin pale and bitten from the icy cold nights.

She took him in, treated him for 3 full moons, and watched as his scars healed but his mind did not. In the day he had flashbacks, and in the night he had nightmares. But he did not remember his past. Neither his name. So he called himself Scar.


-----

So I’ve been nitpicking on this for a month now, but I decided to just post it and move on. I could have done many things better, especially the scar, but oh well… Hope you like it anyway!


Done in Photoshop CS3.

See Miranja by Elite, GFXartist sponsor SandraS for a connection... ;)

I’d also like to thank everyone at the forums at Pixelbrush (you know who you are ) for helping me. :)

Nice story. It adds depth to the painting, and makes it easier for the viewer to give him a past, and a personality. I don't really have anything to complain about here, but I can state the good things.
You painted the damp skin very well, especially on the neck. And the slightly gray colour that frames the lips makes them look very realistic. Maybe a little lifeless; was that intentionally? And of course; the curly hair is impressive.
Another strong painting from you!

I love it. I gave you 7.. that's the highest from me. :) It's an excellent painting. The man is beautiful and the hair is awesomely done. I only have one crit. Sorry! The scar..if it would run down to the eye lid it would make the blind blue eye (which is also very beautifully done) more convincing. But other than that it's great! Keep up the good work! :)

Very nice work. I really like how you handled the skin texture in this piece, very life-like. I'd like to see you push your skin tones a bit more overall. Otherwise, a very strong piece. Top marks :)

Nekit: Thanks!

Jane: Thank you. ^^ Well... the lifeless lips wasn't really intetional. In fact I kept struggeling for days trying to give life to them, but he ended up looking too feminine. :p

ThruMyEyes: Thank you!

Andy-Jones: Thanks again!

Snuffi-love: Thank you ^_^ :* :* :*

Daykan: Thanks dudeee!

ARZILLIER66: Thanks!

Skyllberg: Thanks :)

Ansu: Thanks a lot! I am very happy to hear your crits. :) I agree about the scar. It would look more convincing, I guess. Maybe I'lI try to rework it later.

cgaddict: As always, thanks for your useful comment. :) I will try to push my skintones even more in the future.

ersen-t: Thank you. :)

an excellent portrait tho the lips are more feminine than masculine, I think.
love the scarred eye.
