Description
Well. I bought a dvd of silence of the lambs (fantastic film) and got inspired, so here is a painting of everybody's favourite cannabilistic sociopathic serial killer: Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins)I had great troubles with Crapcam on this. Uploaded onto my comp and pixellated beyond belief, I had to use Smart blur and blur tool and clone tool and colour adjustment etc...which is why it now looks a bit odd.
I painted this picture with Acrylics and a nice Chianti....sluuuuurps.
New edit*
I'd spelled the man's name wrong in the title, which frankly made me look a bit stupid. It has been corrected!

I love how this almost feels like a Francisco Goya piece with how it was executed, with the dark background and the earthy tones is really reminds me a bit of that famous 'Saturn Devouring his Son' piece he did.
You really captured both Hopkins' features AND the creepy, artistic, layers of Hannibal in this. It's fantastic!

Man i grew up with Anthony as Dr. Lecter but now i can't picture him as Hannibal anymore.... The acting by Mads Mikkelsen is perfect it fits him like a latex glove.

I personally believe this is very well done. Hannibal looking spent, bloodied and looking away from the "camera". The exhaustion that he always seems to exude when dealing with cumbersome or impolite people.
I would pay for a nice print of this.

I can't even put into words how amazing this is. Thomas Harris is an amazing person for creating such a beautiful fictional character. I love it. <3.

Oh my god! How come I've never found this sooner! I love this sooo much! I love the films. Hopkins is amazing! This painting of yours is amazing! I've only seen the films recently; i still remember seeing posters for hannibal when i was primary and i so wanted to see it then! Gosh I love this!...
How come you haven't done any more Hannibal paintings?

My favourite scene in the whole film, after he attacks the guards and just looks so calm and collected. Excellent work!

Yaaaaay that's amazing!!
At this point I'd say "Oh, you have enough lovely comments" but then I notice with just one more you'll have 250...
I freakin' love this painting. The colors are PERFECT and somehow all the better since you painted it traditionally. Wee!
Oh hey, lookit that, I just noticed your DD. Absolutely worth it

I think I might have just spoiled that lovely round number XD Ah well.
Thank you so much. I had a heck of a lot of fun painting this one. The pose is unusual, the foreshortening aspect was a challenge and it is VERY dark. I also love the character...my gallery wouldn't be right without Lecter.

This is just amazing. Beyond amazing, actually. Very well done!

You have captured him perfectly...
Complete dope for all of us girls who sometimes hear his voice in
our heads narrating our thoughts. And secretly hope that anyone
who is rude to them ends up served alongside a seven hundred
dollar bottle of wine.

I know it's Hannibal Lecter, but it reminds me of Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins.

This is superb. Hannibal Lecter is one of the all time greatest villians and you've captured him perfectly, i especially like your use of acrylic paint, very smooth and realistic. Well done.

Thank you so much. He is the epitome of a completely mesmerizing character. Antony Hopkins played him so well- with charm and a nice side helping of menace. Cheers!

Great pic, he's my favorite character of all time. The splatter marks on his forehead make it realistic but it looks like he has muscles "I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye."
