Description The reference for this is an image taken from a Supernatural episode called "On the Head of a Pin" (Season 4), where angel Castiel experiences some serious doubt about the angels' mission on Earth and even about the mere existence of his creator and master. Poor baby... Me thinks he needs a big hug...

Done with Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom digital tablet.

I love Supernatural, and Castiel is undoubtedly my favorite. 

I also love my Wacom digital tablet

You have done a seriously amazing job on this picture!

I do both, actually. If you look in my gallery, you will find a portrait of Zachary Quinto and one of Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order SVU) which were both done in gray scale.

Did you start this one off in gray scale? 
Then colored it in another layer?

I'm sorry i am new to realistic and i want to learn some nice tecnics. Ive been starting my drawings in gray scale but i don't know if thats the most officiation way of doing it

Ah he does need a big hug. I love the details you emphasized in his eyes and on his tie-they're so lovely   He's so handsome yet sad and I admire how you were able to capture his emotions. THIS IS AN AMAZING WORK OF ART AND I applaud you for it!

Thank you so much! I have to admit that the main reason why I chose this image as a reference was because of that sad yet beautiful far-away look in his eyes...

OK, third time. I won't call this looking like a photo because, you as an artist, transcend that. Beautiful work!

OK, so I don't see my comment. I won't say this looks like a photo because I think you as an artist transcends that and takes us to another plane of existence.

This is really awesome. I won't say it looks like a photo because I think artists go beyond a photo and transcend to another plane, but, hey, that's me!

Did you do a layer job over the image? Great job with the wrinkles and cloth detail.

AlienFodder In reply to Voracious-Wolf [2011-06-02 22:41:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I might have added a layer for Curves (brightness, contrast, etc.) and I might have played with Hue and Saturation a bit but other than that, it was just painting. It's been so long since I did this piece though, I can hardly remember.
