Description
For Davidicus~Beware the Moroginh Merchants. Their smile is broad, but their daggers are broader still.
----------------
I felt like painting something for my buddy Davidicus. (He wrote me a short song last year lamenting my leaving Neversoft... twas the awesomest) Listened to the playlist titled Davidicus Songs, and started!
About three hours. I tried to paint it in the classic oil painting style. I drew it loose, then glazed in a tone, and then pulled the lights out by erasing. Then went to opaques. Was a lot of fun. It's weird that when I'm finally free of freelance, and various other work requirements, I find myself at the compy... painting... again...

I never knew you worked at Neversoft. That just seems befitting with you. Great how you've portrayed it's age as old, yet still making it look mischevious..

Yeah, I didn't dig it all that much. Too much damn hoodies and jeans.

You can't get away from art, no matter how much you want to. Creating for other people may drain you of the energy to make it, but it doesn't take away the need to communicate with it. If your job was making speeches it wouldn't mean you stopped talking the rest of the time. 
man I love his big fishy eyes, but I keep thinking of the fishhead song. X3

I like how deep his eyes look and the bunt, really wide chompers. Nice design.

I never learned how to oil paint but I'll try to take a class some time because apparently applying it to digital medium works amazingly. The lighting and textures are terrific!

Painting is painting, no matter what medium, the base philosophy and the understanding of light should be the same! ^_^ So practice makes perfect either way!

This is so gorgeously done~! I love his big buggy eyes.

Reminds me of the movie "The Dark Crystal" and his eyes remind of of a goron from Legend of Zelda.

Framers frame, cooks cook and artists art.... tis why you can't stay away from the machine that is the best thing to happen to art since the printing press. It's in your blood. I hope to join your ranks some fine day. But for now, there's lots and lots to learn and even more practice to be done.
Very Star Wars-esque creature design... can't go wrong with that. Fine work.

When I looked at that painting, I was thinking: "That's gotta be Yoda's cousin"

i like that insane looking villain
would you share a working-secret? i donΒ΄t mind if you want to keep it, but i would like to know how you got that 3d-glistening-effect on his eyes?
looks really awesome!

I painted eyes a lot. Used some photo reference, that sort of thing. It's not a secret, just hard work. lol ^_^

The finish of the face is pretty amazing. As usual the color scheme is nice and under control.
Higllight: The eyes...what an effect!

its almost creepy how real the expression of the character looks, i wouldnt be surprised to see him selling folexes in some back alley of little china

I love the different matterial feels and texture variation. It's quite subtle in a great way.

Sweet. He looks like something out of Hellboy.
I like the oil painting style. How very Hussar of you.
I'm not gonna lie, I'd fall for his charms. I'd stare in shock and dismay into his super sexily rendered reflective eyes as he stabs me in my gullible gut.

I got it more from Ponti Wolgemuth. Well the subtracting out of the tonal glaze thing. Hussar goes in for the ala prima bidness, if memory serves. 
I imagine his giggle sounds like the laughter of children... and his eyes never go dark as he slides the long shaft of his dagger in. Smiles and candy, while he digs through your intestines for the sell-able bits with his little sucker fingers.

neato-licious! His skin is so very well rendered, i can almost feel its slimyness and he has such a presense

First, he looks funny. ^^ And then friendly. Those big eyes...

You went for oils, but achieved watercolours!
Great illusion of the traditional technique!
And the creature is ubersweet! May he be treacherous and deadly, but he surely mastered on 'looking-innocently-as-mommy's-angel' classes!
And I am charmed by the colour scheme - I always loved browns and oranges, and the addition of blue makes this piece full of life!
Great job!

Awesome use of the complimentary scheme for this composition!

I love the eyes on this creature. They remind me of the Mon Calamari people from star wars and it also resembles E.T.! great work!

Yeah I thought so too when I was nearly done. It's a TRAP!

I feel like the saying, "IT'S A TRAP!" is appropriate here.
He's pretty adorable though, but I guess it's the cute ones you got to watch out for.
