Description
"They might want to laugh, but the smile would be slow to come. They might want to cry, but the tears wouldn't well up till the next day..."
– 2046 (2004)
Continuing my sci-fi(ish) series... here's a painting inspired by Wong Kar-Wai's 2046. The color palette of this film is very beautiful, a lot of deep reds, sea greens, and yellows. This particular character is the "delayed-reaction android" (played by the gorgeous Faye Wong.)
Eventually I want to finish pieces from Wong Kar-Wai's entire repertoire! This was a closing piece from my solo show MOMENTS .
Painted with references on a Cintiq 21UX tablet in Adobe Photoshop.
STEP-BY-STEP PAINTING PROGRESS: soon | REBLOG ON TUMBLR: alicexz.tumblr.com/post/597143…
EDIT 04/22/14: Did a significant repaint of this! Wasn't happy with a lot of the details from the previous version.

Wow, I'm impressed, you're obviously really talented. And in addition to your talent, you have very good cinematic tastes. 2046 is a deep, intense, and touching movie, which is a perfect sequel of the superb "In the mood for love" of the same director. Keep going, I love your work, like everyone else.

This is beautiful. Have you seen Age of Ultron yet? Because if you painted Paul Bettany's character (no spoilers ) it would be beautiful.

The colours are absolutely stunning and the way you drew her face, her eyes look so intense.

Maybe the model's face is just a little too perfect but this is a really nicely executed image.

It's supremely beautiful and touching I hear several songs when in my mind when I see this piece. With apologies to all others, I don't believe I'll find a better piece on deviant art any time soon.
