Description
I hope you enjoy this description, because this is the second time I've had to write it. I type obscenely slow, and just as I finished this little novel about my latest drawing, my friend Squirts* decided to show me a webpage about our professors at that very moment and deleted everything I had written. ERRRGH! But I will not give up...I still have to bore everyone who reads this to death with a long explanation of this picture. It's actually my final project for color theory class, in which we were allowed to design any assignment we wanted, as long as it had something to do with color theory. I decided to illustrate what we learned about the emotional associations of certain colors--like aggressive red and melancholic blue, and what better subject to use that could involve both of these color schemes in the same composition and still make sense but the person with the most split personality I know--Remus Lupin? I apologize to all those Lupin-lovers out there--I realize that far from looking remotely attractive in this picture, he is leaning more towards the crazed druggie look...but that is really the look I was going for. Although I do not doubt that chasing small mammals and howling at the moon is fun in moderation, I bet it really sucks sometimes to be a lycanthrope...hence the "I am SO over this" expression on his face. But even though he is smelly, creepy, and a general lunatic, you've just got to love this man...hurray for carnivorous lunar activities!*name has been changed to disrespect authority

As a fellow Garou lover, this piece is particularly awesome. There's so much detail, it's amazing! I also love your choice of contrasting hot, and cool colors. The hot definitely works for the wolf and his rage. Beautifully done!

I love this piece. I think it portrays very nicely the contrast between the tortured, impoverished man Lupin is and the mad beast that caused him to be that way. You can tell that he does not want to be a bad person, but it's not something he can stop. Kudos.

Wonderful example of the torn page effect, great color contrast, and personality contrast to match. one of the few non-photos in my favs!

You mention that he looks like he's a bit hopped up on something. I imagine that right before the full moon, that is exactly what his face should look like. I'm speechless as to how to describe the incredible detail and accuracy of this picture. Simply amazing.

I saw this on deviously artistic and recognised who it was straight away. It's incredible, you've really captured 'the madness within'. Faved without hesitation!

Well sort of, only the other way around. I drew both, shredded up Remus's face, and glues a few strips of the Remus drawing over the werewolf.

This was shown to me by .
This piece is a nice study of character though color (or color through character, as the assignment goes.) The feeling of the wolf snarling to get out of this man comes across clearly, and contrasts nicely with the tiredness eminating from Lupin. The prismacolors are handled well, the layers built up to bring out the pigment's true intensity. The only difficulty I see within the piece is that the wolf's face seems to go on to infninty off the page.

wow, I love the way you took on this project. Very nice description behind the piece but the piece doesn't need it - it explains itself. And that, my friend, is when you know you've done a good job.

Cool idea, great concept and wild colours.
I wonder why it doesn't have a hundred more favourites. Not that favourites really count but I find this one deserved a lot more...
