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!

Thank you. I hope I got it okay. There was a kind of distance and dreamlike quality to this scene, almost surreal.

Hannibal Lector---

Thank you . His eyes were mesmerising in this movie, he had this hooded, almost dream like look in them. You're not the only one who harboured a crush. I like to think it was because of his intelligence charm and manners and not because he ate people. Then again...

absolutely beautiful.
"sir" anthony hopkins played the part wonderfully, and you've brought across everything that he stood for in the films, onto our screens.
his inquisitiveness, his "dark side", and his charm.
lovely.
absolutely love it.

One of my alltime favorite charachters. Makes me want to learn how to paint.

Painting is such a great thing to do. I'm madly in love with flinging acrylic on canvas, it's really relaxing and yet challenging. Pick a medium and go for it!

Excellent painting!!.
I really like the Lecter's face expression.
I'll give you a fav

Cheers mate. Lecter has wonderfully reserved facial expressions in this, so every twitch counts.
Thanks for the fave. Appreciate that.

the lighting on this piece is just wonderful! he seems to rise from the shadows and come at you. very nicely done. I also like your soft painting style.

Thank you so much. Out of all the Lecter screencaps I browsed, this one seemed to stick out the most. Glad you like it.

the detail in the face is great. i'm not sure if this is because of the pixellation problem you were talking about, but the area from his shoulders to his pecks looks very flat. this is accentuated by the fact that you're using such a bright white because white on a black ground appears to be coming forward. because that shape is so flat and so white it was the first thing my eye traveled to in the picture. this is bad because you obviously want the focal point to be lector's face. so you might want to rework that a little so it has more depth and draws the eye towards the face.
other than that awesome job! and silence of the lambs fucking rules!!

Thank you! It does look seriously flat from the shoulders. This may have had something to do with the amount of blurring but tbh I the fault would lie with me. I love painting faces, but everything else tends to get little attention paid to it. I know exactly what you mean about the focal point. I think maybe reworking the shirt, giving the edges a bit more shading, dulling the white right down, subtle highlights on the arm and less sharp contours on the shoulder would improve it.
Thank you for the excellent critique and absolutely agree with you about Silence of the Lambs - I can never get bored watching it!

Thankees! I like doing dark pictures, something a bit off here and there, something a bit odd, wierd, tragic. There are no excuses, I just love doing that kind of painting

Amazing skills, congratulations. The expression in his eyes is just amazing.

Thank you. He always had that strangely serene look in his eyes - distant and introspective. It just sat so oddly with his bloody mouth. I love that look and tried to capture it here.

Excellent, excellent work. Hannibal Lecter is one of my favorite movie characters of all time, just because he's super intelligent, incredibly charming, extremely sophisticated, but utterly insane.

Probably why I like the Joker too

That's probably why I'm also in love with Jigsaw.

Beautiful :) Snapped up my attention in an instant. I hold great admiration for Hannibal Lecter, he feels and breathes like a real person, at least to me.
I love the sullen look in his eyes. He's always in his own world, his... mind palace. Except when he's with Clarice :) (again, at least to me)
I can just hear "Aria de Capa" from the "Goldberg Variations", just from those eyes, how distanced they seem.
Don't know why I'm feeling so elated right now. Almost at a loss for words.
So I'll stop now and end it with a

I just gave a huge rambling response to brain attics, sherlock Holmes and the mind palace. It didn't post so I'll just say I know what you mean about the character coming to life.
Also that piece of music is beautiful and I pretty much associate it with that movie.
Thank you so much

Pleasure was mine
Personally, the only version of Aria de Capo that sounds right to me is the one that Hannibal supposedly played in, well, the movie Hannibal. During the opening credits, performed by Glenn Goud. Feels like one can be anywhere, listening to that melody.
I can go on and on with how I admire the character. So perhaps I shouldn't start
I do think though that it would be rather grand if Anthony Hopkins had maroon eyes, as depicted in the book. I suppose it doesn't matter so much :)
