Description
I’m currently working on a series of large (I can barely fit this across the back seat of my car) portraits for uni painted on a see-though canvas (read: I bought transparent fabric and stretched it on a frame like you would canvas). This is the first I’ve done, I attached chains to the back (you can see them in the detail on the left) so when the light shines on the back they drop shadows across the image. Its pretty difficult to photograph as its see-though AND shiny all at the same time.Uni didnt like it much, but I do so tough titties to them!
~Wide-Eyes again, unfortunately for him, being forced to model for artwork is part of the job description of being my boyfriend

EDIT: EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK Oh my God! Well I was pretty damn surprised when I realised this had received a DD! Thankyou so so much! REALLY! This is something I am pretty happy with (that doesn’t happen often) so I’m really glad others enjoy the work too!
Really, I don’t deserve this! 
Thankyou so much in advance for your comments, I read every single one of them and appreciate them all even if I dont get a chance to reply to them!

This is so TITS! I mean, this is so cool!
I absolutely love it! ^^
You've been extremely creative with the chains on the back and making such an awesome painting on see-through fabric. I would have loved to see the shadows cast upon it, when the light hits it from the back!
And they do so not know, what they're talking about, if they don't like this piece! It's gorgeous
Congrats on the DD! ^^

Thanks! When the sun is behind it it shows up all the different thicknesses of paint so it kinda looks like hes a burn victim lol

What? Really?!
Kick-fucking-ass, dude!
Sorry - dudette! ^^
It is so badass that painting! Don't take that the right way, it's not that I'm all for him looking like a burn victim
I love it, you've been so creative with the painting..it's kinda like it changes in the light, but in more than one way. If that isn't art..I mean, that's one of the essential parts of art, that there's more to see in it than just what we see at first glance.

good to see some hands on painting! I get tired of computer generated paintings...hard to find people who are this dedicated to traditional painting! Nice job!

Well thankyou! I dabble in digital sometimes but only if I dont care much about the work, if Im really into it I always use traditional media

Stunning work! And the idea sounds so intriguing! The colours create such a complex array of detail and shape. Beautiful work!

ah, yeah you'd have a tough time here too (they're so rude!!! I get in trouble all the time cos everything I do, no matter what it is, is 'illustrative' like thats a bad thing?) this guy is in my class, hes a cartoonist ~lickingstitches he had a tough time at the start but they like him now... hes going to put some of his new stuff up soon too, its amazing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. And the fact I am an illustrative major I guess gives them the right to do that XD; "YER NOT FINE ARTS???!!"
Oh wow he's got a good style~ And isn't that who it always goes. "I don't like your style ]< -few months maybe years later- OH MAI YOU ARE BRILLIANT!" XD;; Its happened to two of my friends so far
