Description This is a commission for my friend Brad. Usually if someone commissions a piece from me, but they don't know what they want to be depicted, I will ask them for a word to describe the 'essence' of what they want. Then I do my best to capture that word. The word he chose was 'lonely'.

I've been doing so much work in black and white recently, its good to be working in color with my old standby, prisma color pencils.

Wow! I think you really captured the "sense of loneliness"...
Sorry if I've been late with the answer on the "devious comment" you left me... ehm... in August! But It's been a long time since the last time I came here in Deviant's world...
We do really have the same music tastes!

from what I CAN see, however, looks pretty damn good Ah prisma. maybe I should dig my pastels out of the closet... oh I miss working on pieces. But I have 22 credit hours to get through

Very interesting--this is really a piece that makes a person think. Think what I'm not quite sure but still....

I like the dramatic shadows.

Nice composition, poor guy, to be lonely or choose to be lonely?

This is fantastic! I love the elongation of his features and color. It really sets up a feeling of being stretched and isolated...(lonely) Well done
