It's about time! And I gotta try to keep'em comin' without such a long break in between paintings..... although I have been really busy & have the good excuses.... but still...  Here lately, my original GasMask painting has jumped into the top 5 at ruddart.... uhhh wonder why...... so I figured a continuation of that idea was way pastdue. "Gasmask Portrait 2"  |

Maybe with the fear of germ warfare and warfare in general, brings some strong images.

DO you have enough time to try one with a twist? With a (perhaps subtle) Elvis is Alive motif? (And what about his twin? Too much?)

..... ya, like Elvis posing in his 7-11 uniform or somethin'.
Old man Elvis with tatoos & a Pantera T-shirt on.
Elvis is always a good subject, & I was thinkin' of maybe doing somethin' else that's a little more irreverent, so ya, I'm not closin' the book on Elvis around here just yet.

I went back to work on this Elvis image.... for the longest time, I couldn't figure out what was buggin' me about it. A few minor alterations & it's much better, can ya tell what got changed?  |

;D No.... I didn't mess with anything on the "lit-up" side of the face. The main problem was the suggestion of the dark eye.
My dumbass highlighted the white inner corner of the eye.
That doesn't work.... the light reflection needs to come from the center of the eye, like it does on the other eye.
That was a little bitty speck that made a huge difference.
Then I did a lot of work to make a little difference & softened all the hard edges on the dark half.

That's quite a picture! I feel as if I'm face to face with him.

Yes, and the dark/light side imagery is reminiscent of the "Meet the Beatles" US release or "With the Beatles" UK release....very nice work.

I didn't think of the Meet The Beatles cover. But it's probably so imbedded in my brain it just oozed out! This is really is the cover of the Rez 1st album  |

I was gonna do a new Lennon next, but I got sidetracked by a paid custom job... Finished it yesterday & delivered it this mornin', so I might as well post it. I'll try to get the lennon thing started next.  |
