Description
...Edward Hyde was so much smaller, slighter, and younger than Henry Jekyll...Evil besides...had left on that body an imprint of deformity and decay. And yet when I looked upon that ugly idol in the glass, I was conscious of no repungance, rather a leap of welcome. This, too, was myself. It seemed natural and human. In my eyes it bore a livelier image of the spirit...I have observed that when I wore the semblance of Edward Hyde, none could come near to me at first without a visible misgiving of the flesh. This, as I take it, was because all human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.
- The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

Yes, more boring messy paintings. (Arg, blurry photo- I'll fix that at some point) Yes, the skin tones are effed up, among other things. Yes, Mr. Hyde is missing that barely perceptible distortion, although I hope he looks at least a bit vaguely odd. However, I'm excited-
-and he's gonna bash you in the FACE. "HYPOCRITE!"

Too many people nowadays try to put an "incredible Hulk" spin on the character of Mr. Hyde.
Thank you for this piece. It is a very accurate portrayal of the original concept behind him.
While I can't help but feel that it doesn't quite catch the impression of foreboding that Hyde carried with him, there is still a general feeling of creepyness to him in this piece.
Your eyes lack the sense of piercing intrusion that the character should hold, BUT, they are very well done nontheless. I am glad that you put the proper attention into making the eyes, as that is the single most important part of a piece in my opinion.
Very insightful piece, Good work.

I need to do a piece depicting Hyde in a way that does him *justice*. This particular one was far before I have/had a good grasp of acrylics and faces, so it's definately lacking.X3
Thanks for your insight, of course!

This guy is someone you don't want to hang out with.
The steely gaze and pursed lips, yeah this is not a nice man.
No milk of human kindness you will get from this guy.
Looks great.
