War of Genesis

Description

What's this? THREE in one day? Egads! Oh well, it'll never happen again...

So, my AM art teacher makes us do an oil painting. She makes us have a photo reference. She only lets me not trace it when I asked. Yay. So this IS NOT TRACED BEFOREHAND. Okay. Had to get that out.

I went into this painting thinking I wanted to do a well-known Hyung Tae-Kim picture in my style, which is difficult seeing as how much I despise oils (acrylic freak present!), but I think I did okay. That is, until I lost my reference and suddenly got so sick of it that I had to hurry through the rest to insure that I didn't burn it or something. >_>

Sorry it's blurry. I had to take a picture of it and I suck with digital cameras. That and I realize that the building suddenly starts slanting in the wrong direction and that the girl is insanely off. But I was stupid and didn't sketch out my composition like I normally do, so...eh.

Thank you! Though sometimes I think the colors blend a bit TOO well...can't really see what's happening. XD

Thanks again!

You don't like oil? Oil > acrylic... god I hate acrylic, I had to paint a marsh-landscape in acrylic for this 5 person art project, it was done on these five huge pieces of plywood that were painted white.... I re-painted 3-5 times... acrylic sucks so bad...

AllisonPO on May 7, 2007, 9:24:09 AM

Oil is just...ugh, I don't hate it NEARLY as much as I used to, but acrylics just seem so much easier to use for me and give off a much more interesting texture. That and I don't have to use linseed oil. X_X

AllisonPO on April 19, 2007, 8:05:42 AM

Thank you! I actually have a lot of difficulties with oils and can't seem to develop my own way of painting with them yet. ;_; I need more practice, but I'm too lazy. XD

Thanks for the comment!

HSLAKFHSKHJG!! >C
You need to paint more often. My god, this is absolutely amazing... and I've seen the original. I know.
THIS IS AMAZING. :C
:bow:
I love it. The details, the coloring, the shading~ @_@

You are amazing. Gyaaaagaaaugh.

mega <3

AllisonPO on April 19, 2007, 8:00:48 AM

Heh, I knew you'd enjoy this. XD

The truth of the matter is that I actually paint a lot. Like...everyday of the schoolweek, give or take a day (just second semester, though). It's just that my teachers don't normally hand back paintings until the end of the year, so I don't get to see much of them. XD

Thanks a lot for the comment!

hvite_devil on April 15, 2007, 5:24:44 PM

This is amazing! The colours and the shading is so good! The picture has this aura around it self.. like.. it's imposible to not like it! I LOVE IT!
Really cool that you've only used the colour brown. So creative!! XD
*favs!!*

AllisonPO on April 19, 2007, 7:53:21 AM

Thank you very much! Though I myself have grown quite sick of it over the period of time I've been working on it. D: FAR TOO LONG~

But as for the monochromatic coloring...it was kinda' the main pint of the assignment. ^_^;;; So not so much as creative as following the rules, but thanks anyway. XD

Azazel on April 15, 2007, 1:57:05 PM

I really like it ^_^
Oil. Is. Good. [Oil freak accounted for!]
>.> Don't kill me
But, YAY! You finished!
And you've updated thrice in one day and said the exact same thing o.o

AllisonPO on April 19, 2007, 7:24:22 AM
