Description
I promise if you full-view there will be actual expressions on their faces.I actually painted it! In one day!
For those of you who don't monitor my scraps, yesterday I posted this sketch and told people to annoy me until I got it painted. Well, annoy no more, 'tis done.
The guy in the do-rag who is not Genma from Naruto, no matter what you hormonal fangirls want is Makares, and the kid is, well, the Kid. They're from a manga/comic project I've got that is, currently, stalled due to laziness and procrastination. I'm hoping that doing enough complicated non-comic work of them will drive me back to the comic so I can finish it soooooon.
Kid: Hey! I'm hungry! Give me some of that!
Makares: What? You want some of this? This here? You don't need it. You're small.
Kid: Stop that! I need my food I'm a growing g--, er, boy!
Makares: You want it so bad, come and get it! Whoops! Can't reach it, huh? You're stumpy!
Kid: I am so gonna kick your ass when I grow up.
Random small child: Mommy, look at the funny man!
Mother: Don't make eye contact, honey.
And there's a random small child staring at them because there needed to be a random small child staring at them and I took the opportunity to show the diferences in economic status in this particular city.
Done in Painter 7.0. Painted off-and-on over the course of about 9 hours.
[ edit ] Edited to add that what I
about painting medieval-era buildings is that they're *supposed* to have the lines all wonky. If you did it perfectly straight, it would look weird, but my half-ass line-drawing skills are put to good use here.

That is amazing. You could hang that in a castle, and it would fit in with any other work (assuming those other works were by grand masters). The stones looks so real too.
That is a WONDERFUL piece.

(saw you av in the forums..
anywhoo.. decided to peek thru you gallery, and this piece stood out to me in terms of its overal mood.. the colors were subdued & pleasant on the eyes, and the piece really told a nice story, not the usual "look at me i'm pretty!" *poses* (gah i need to work in the storytelling aspects more)
love the comments, that was really amusing^^
thanks for sharing

Thanks! Yeah, I was trying to paint a scene with a little bit of a story - to get across characters' personalities without the standard pinup-type pose.

i like it bunches! the use of color makes it look so olden timey.

*laughs* The expressions are great, particularly on the Overprotective Mother (TM). The main thing I like, though, is the color of the wood on the door. That little bit of blue-ish you used makes it look like ancient and dried-out wood that has never seen rain nor sealant.

I love that last edit note about lines ^_~() ... I've got a n aversion to straight edges -_-. Your dislike of straight lines probably comes from drawing so many organic shapes. (*just loves the figures in this image!* The poses and expressions are really impressive!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heehee. Or my liking for organic shapes comes from my inability to draw straight lines.
Seems to ahve worked. Makares has acquired a fangirl, amusingly enough, and I haven't even finished the story...

I'll help brainstorm names with you if you'd like... people seem to come up with good ones in the presence of my crap. ^^
The color of this is wonderful... really like the various colors in the wood. My only crit is the kid's left hand... seems a bit gnarled... but then again, I know how much a pain hands are to do, so eh. Takes me about an hour to get complex hand positions compable (sp?). Anyways, good stuff. Looking forward to seeing more of this manga of yours.

I thinl I just might take you up on the brainstorming thing - I'm lacking a name for the overall story and a name for the kid, although there's a halfway decent reason for the kid's name not showing up yet.

Thanks! I wanted to do a scene of characters showing their personalities and not one of characters posing for a camera-type thing. Which can be nice, but it's harder to get across the character, who they are, and what they're like that way.

*huggles Makares* So pretty! ^^ I love the lady walking by with her kid. ^^ Don't make eye contact, honey.

Well, the Kid's gender isn't a *plot* point, but...
So far no title. I suck at names and titles, so I'm going to finish this first short story and see if it suggests anything. It's even in a folder on my hard drive called "the trading town thing" because there's such a lack of title...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awe. My latest fandom doesn't have a name. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'll have to come up with one then.
You're close on the name: it's a sort of Greek-based pronunciation: "mah - KAH - rees"

That's really awesome XD I love the feel of it, and all the expressions. I also really love how you did all their hair, and the way it's set up with so much of the door above. I'mma stare at those feet a good while now.

I am all about negative space.

This is great! The mother dragging her child past them is the best touch you could have come up with :3 the slightly crooked door, etc make it all the more realistic, too. I wish I could do such beautiful things with Painter..

I did it while staing at my "How to Paint like teh Old Masters" book which takes you step-by-step from the original drawing to a finished painting in several different Old Master oil painting styles. It translates really well to Painter; I recommend it.

You're welcome! I have yet to find *any* book on painting that does the step-by-step as well as this one does. PLus other books on painting tend to stick to modern impressionistic styles where you throw a bunch of paint on and when you stand back it all visually runs together and produces an image, but I want to do teh more realistic stuff, and this book shows you how to do people that way, in several different ways. I just need to work on extending that to inanimate objects now.

Hoho, I love it. Absolutely gorgeous. The characters looks alive and so does the ennvironment. Two thumbs way up. ^^<3

Thank you! I wanted to do something that wasn't jsut a character posing for the camera in front of a background, but something closer to a slice-of-life, with characters showing their personalities and interacting with each other. The little girl staring at them sort of made it.

who needs remindin'?! You knocked this out! And with your great style I might add. Your colors are so fitting for this desert setting, they look a bit weathered and I think you're right about the architecture of the times, the doorway and the stairs look great, nice textures! You pay great attention to the lil' things!
