Description
another piece o fanart (gawd i hate that word). This one is based on the excellent Dark Tower series of fantasy(?(another term i dont like) novels by mr Stepehen King.It features the Gunslinger Roland and the boy Jake(and the bumbler Oy).
its done in acryllic inks and paints and pen and pencil
Dont even think suggesting that the coloring on jake isnt done yet, it is, trust me!

I'm sorry, but I cannot get past Roland's exposed midriff and curvy hips. He reminds me of one of those bodacious babes on fantasy book covers with her clothes all conveniently ripped to show off her toned abs. If I weren't so distracted by the weirdness of this cliche, I'd be more inclined to all the wonderful elements in this piece. Your background is fab, I love the stylization of their faces, and your Oy is great. King always describes Oy as having a "foxy" face, but I always pictured him as more of a weasel-like animal, like yours is here.

Cool portrait of the three. Oy looks very cute.
Dark Tower rules.
Lang days and pleasant nights...

Gay Roland, anyone?
But seriously, nice job. I like the coloring as is. The billybumbler, however, looks like an anteater.

Nice picture.
I've always pictured Oy to be a bit fluffier looking, but it look great!
Nice job with picking up King's little details.

this is so very well done. your style just suits the piece terrifically, if thats a word.
and I love how roland's shirt is half missing. this is exactly how I wouldve imagined him after tearing the strips off, piece by piece.

And you SCRAPPED it?
I would chop off my right hand to draw as well as you do and you scrapped it?
(My heart cries blood for this)
I love the light colouring on their clothes and the dusty feeling!
And Oy, he's so cute!!!!

Very, very good! What makes it so very, very good, is that you've actually painted it with paint, instead of doing it in paintshop. I think too many people use paintshop or other similar programs. Yeah, and also it is a good picture, real paint or not. Keep painting!

aww thanx! Yep, a lot these days is done in photoshop... But it isnt so bad(i think), as long as people are still trying to be creative and expressive. I only hope people dont try to use it to compensate for lack of talent and or hardwork
c-ya later Norwegian girl :wink:

Yeah, I agree, it can be really good, and several of my favourites are "paintings" done on computers. It's just that too many do it this way. And I think it seems like they're taking the easy way; if you do anything wrong, it's just to undo it. If you paint or draw with your own hands, using traditional mediums, and it looks good, this is much more impressing than a good computerpicture. And it seems a bit... sterile when people sit by their computers creating art, instead of using paint and pencils and charcoal.
A good day to you, Dutch gentleman

Nowadays the people who get the promqueen after the schooldance, are not the eloquent or stylish and well manered, but the egocentric macho's and womanizing though guys. *shakes his head*
on the other hand we happy few who know the difference between a salad fork and a lobster fork, a van Gogh from a Reubens, who can apreciate poetry and offer their coats to a lady on a chilly summer eve, are on the rise
so untill then(when hairy backs are no longer the way to go):
catch ya later babe,
Nick
