Description This piece almost drove me crazy. Things that require my full attention always do. It's not the best quality to have, but ;D Anyway. The picture of Dorian Gray. Not the way I see the painting that Basil Hallward painted, but as a picture of the character itself, before he was "seduced" by Henry Wotton 8DD couldn't come up with better word.

This took about .. 4 days I'd say. So much work. Especially with the clothes, who knew that it's that hard to get a good picture of what kinda clothes they used then (not that reference of clothes of the 19th century were hard to find, but to know whether the idea I had in my head was at least acceptable in some level). By the time I was done with the clothes I had no interest drawing the background whatsoever, but I decided that blank white paper would look .. plain (and the hand looks weird.. somehow). Done with Intuos3 tablet and Photoshop CS2.

"We can forgive a man for making a useful thing so long as he doesn't admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intently. All art is quite useless." -Oscar Wilde
