Controlled Marriage by Papercut_Dragon

Description

Concept art for my art class. I'm doin' five pieces on my sister marrying her Playstation controller; this is number one.

Pulled an all-nighter painting this. I was sooo tired the next day (and I had a Spanish test, which was thankfully extremely easy. Or maybe it just seemed easy . . . ).

[Edit: It just seemed easy. Whoops :P ]

There should be more to say about this . . . oh! That's my shirt, but my sister don't have any white clothes (wedding and all that), so she borrowed it.

Acrylic on luwan (18x24), time is one night plus some other random amount of hours to draw it out and paint the underpainting.

[My sister would like you to know that she's not actually glued to the TV and Playstation. She has way too much homework for that. But, she does play a lot. =D ]

Excellent yellow highlight for the controller! You're talented with the brush! 8D

Cliffcliff on January 27, 2009, 6:10:00 AM

Great work

xWingx on February 15, 2008, 6:42:17 AM

wow thats amazing... i could never paint somehting like htat with acrylics.....

YnxoXIV on December 17, 2007, 12:11:19 PM

wow, you paint so wonderfully, and on the second one, i don't think you draw spoons, cereal, or plates and/or bowls half bad : ) if it makes you feel better, i can just barely draw hands, much less a spoon or cereal... -__-

Papercut_Dragon on December 19, 2007, 3:17:15 PM

Painting that spoon drove me up the wall. On the other hand, I can draw PS2 controllers really well!

Thanks! :)

YnxoXIV on December 20, 2007, 6:23:54 AM

Papercut_Dragon on September 7, 2007, 1:43:24 PM

Lol, yes, yes there is. It's my idea of a clever pun. =O

GoodOlAxel on September 11, 2007, 7:41:45 AM

mikoa on July 6, 2007, 9:10:17 AM

Wow, you know what your work reminds me of? A little bit of Alice Neel. You should check her out on Google.

Papercut_Dragon on July 8, 2007, 12:51:10 PM

Really? Thanks. :) I just looked her up - her portraits are fun to look at. They all have so much character!

blusand30 on June 8, 2007, 11:24:28 AM

0_0 that is fantastic! 8D awesome work! *goes to look at more*

ScratchTheFox on September 17, 2006, 3:48:33 PM

Cool to see videogames depicted in this media. I love the concept, it's funny and you've put gravity in it with the way you painted it(don't ask me how! ^^; that's as close as I get to describing it). The light in this is beautiful. Favourite.

Cerberus_Lives on September 17, 2006, 3:27:45 PM

Very cool. Nice to see a videogame pic that's taken a different approach. Keep it up!

SolitaryDreamer on September 17, 2006, 4:30:24 AM

Positively beautiful... ^_^
very good skills... Great shading... You have a knack with colours... ^_^

RikuFangirl on September 17, 2006, 3:50:15 AM

Wow, this is amazing! I just got a PS2 and I can't get enough of it! XD Your hard work paid off beautifully my friend, keep more awesome art coming! *faves*

PS spanish is very hard! I'm mexican and I can assure you that ^^;;;;

Papercut_Dragon on September 16, 2006, 10:58:21 AM

Español es muy dificil, sí. ^^; Mi professora rara vez habla en inglés, y yo no entiendo much cuando ella habla en español. Y mi vocabulario . . . lol. Chicos de cinco años saben más palabras que mi.

Jaja . . . ¿entiendes? My grammar isn't that great, either. =^_^=

taurus92 on September 16, 2006, 6:54:01 AM

Papercut_Dragon on September 15, 2006, 6:25:07 AM

I'll be getting the third one . . . several years after it comes out, when the price is down to a reasonable $200. O_o

RubidiumHawk on September 15, 2006, 6:33:41 AM

yeah, i know what ya mean, but it costs 800 dollars for an xbox 360 do do its job properly btw

Papercut_Dragon on September 15, 2006, 6:36:19 AM

Ugh, that is WAY too pricey.

And there are people crazy enough to spend that much. T_T

LOL on September 15, 2006, 5:44:03 PM

I agree...but...I WANNA PS3!!!(runs away crying)

Papercut_Dragon on September 16, 2006, 12:29:30 PM

Shukuchan on September 14, 2006, 6:39:47 AM

This is an amazing piece! I really like the brush strokes you used, everything is so vibrant. Classic art with a modern theme!

TK421 on September 11, 2006, 2:53:04 AM

Real nice painting, Sweetheart.

Great detail on the Ps2 controller and the shading on the shirt is class. Really like the colours in the shirt.

Papercut_Dragon on September 13, 2006, 11:15:19 AM

I just realized that you posted a link to this in the recommended featured picture thread - thank you so much! And thanks for the sweet comment. :)

kiddy_neko on September 12, 2006, 7:22:36 AM

that is an awesome and pretty pix the colors and the lighting r awesome i just love it! XD*favs* ur very good at drawing!

BadArtist on September 11, 2006, 10:03:03 PM

that almost as odd as Silverscales' drawing of the letter R..well, you did a good job! but why Playstation? why not the Wii? or gamecube? i like Sony and Nintendo, nintendo is just better:P

Papercut_Dragon on September 12, 2006, 7:18:47 AM

Thanks! And, well, there's several reasons. One is that in my mind, the Playstation one is more universally recognizeable than anything. The second is that it's blackish and makes for better contrast and ties in better with the background. And the third (and main) reason is that PS is the one she plays the most (we have a GameCube but we only have Link and Mario Smash Bros and one controller, 'cause we're cheap ^^;). So there you have it.

. . . Is that a swastica??

foolycoolyz on September 12, 2006, 6:25:29 AM

Cool

corpsebecky on September 12, 2006, 5:33:21 AM

WOW!

This is the first piccy on featured art that i actually like!

Weldone!!

shyhorse on September 11, 2006, 11:10:59 PM

wow this is brillant good job well done keep it up

supergirlcomix on September 11, 2006, 11:05:59 AM

I love the cleverness of this...the title...the chord like a ring...^_^ It's a really awesome. I'll send your sister a lovely...fruit basket for her wedding...*hands over basket*

Papercut_Dragon on September 11, 2006, 1:28:11 PM

Haha, you're one of the few people that specifically mentioned the chord-ring . . . glad you caught on to that. ^_^

supergirlcomix on September 12, 2006, 11:26:24 AM

What can I say? I'm sharp. ha ha. O_-

Neawolf on September 11, 2006, 6:16:19 AM

its so beautiful! i hope i can paint like this one day (i will need to be able to, i am doing art GCSE) as someone else said it is nice to see something other than anime on here. nice idea.^^

Papercut_Dragon on September 11, 2006, 1:26:26 PM

Thanks! ^_^ See if you can take some classes or something - usually local communitiy colleges offer art classes for cheap.

And . . . what's GCSE art? ^^;

Neawolf on September 12, 2006, 6:19:42 AM

GCSE's..put it this way...they are stinky hard exams that are very important as they decide which Univercity you go to...but i cant be bothered with them yet (give it a couple of months, then i will be panicking)

Papercut_Dragon on September 13, 2006, 10:49:46 AM

I just have to take an SAT. O_o

Well, when you do take them, good luck!

Neawolf on September 13, 2006, 10:53:12 AM

thank you very much ^^ i'm sure i will need it. Good luck with any other exams you may have/art, coz your art is really cool!

JFH on September 11, 2006, 6:56:52 AM

Aha, GCSE art is easy. You can paint at a far lower standard than that and do well.

And I don't think I mentioned it in my last comment, but I do very much like the shading on the shirt. It looks fantastic.

Neawolf on September 11, 2006, 6:59:41 AM

ha i'm not finding it easy! i hate it actually. well anyways its a standard i would like to reach.

JFH on September 11, 2006, 6:00:20 AM

"I'm doin' five pieces on my sister marrying her Playstation controller; this is number one."

Interesting, that wasn't the impression I got when I looked at the picture originally. To me, it seemed more like the woman had taken the controller away from her partner because she wanted to spend some 'fun' time with him. The long flowing blonde hair, and the rough white shirt doesn't seem very bridal.

Papercut_Dragon on September 11, 2006, 1:21:32 PM

"Fun time" :P

You know, you're the second person who has said that (either someone on dA or at my school, which is incidently also known as DA), and I can see where that's coming from. This piece might make more sense once it's with the other four, which I'm planning right now to be her eating breakfast with it, seeing it off to work, in bed with it (but keepin' it G, here ^^) and maybe one where they're walking on the beach, or the controller's dead and she's mourning it . . . not sure about that last one yet.

Thanks for the other interpretation. :)

Sukooru on September 11, 2006, 12:55:20 PM

Oh wow thats awesome and very clever! As a few other people have said I love the looping around the finger to make it look like rings. Lovely detail on the controller.

Not many people mention that, actually. ^_^ Even though that's supposed to be the main clue. Glad you got that. :P

And, thanks!

kandyangel on September 11, 2006, 10:11:58 AM

i love this pic its great

restless_dreamer on September 11, 2006, 9:51:31 AM

WOW what an amazing painting, and such a cool idea! Really awesome work with contrast, lighting, and the PS2 controller looks so realistic, well done indeed!

moonatnoon28 on September 11, 2006, 9:51:28 AM

wow, thats astounding. but i'm sure you already know that...

Emily_the_Strange on September 11, 2006, 9:42:32 AM

This picture is so creative. I love the idea.
Haha, I'm hooked to my PS2, thats for sure

yexix01 on September 11, 2006, 8:59:55 AM

Stone_Demon on September 10, 2006, 8:08:48 AM

this is REALLY amasing

WaniSaffyaVectora on September 8, 2006, 8:47:03 PM

Heh, you don't see a lot of art based on games controllers. Really nice painting, and nice to see some traditional art going around here.

Pabbit_da_Rabbit on September 8, 2006, 9:50:40 AM

This is beautiful. I love the way you did it, and the concept it very nice.

357 on September 8, 2006, 7:49:52 AM

Nice! That could be me... :D I play a lot...

TsukiNoNeko on September 8, 2006, 7:40:46 AM

Very nice. It's encouraging to see things other than just anime on this site.
