When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
An oil speedpaint of Contral done in one sitting for some practice one night when a storm knocked out our internet (horrors!). I've owed him a portrait since that abominable one I did last summer.
Some lighting help courtesy of Ben Barnes's beautiful face. (You may know him as the main redeeming point of the latest Narnia film.) Barnes isn't an exact match for Contral, but he's got the perfect rich, dark brown coloring in his hair and eyes. Plus, he's ridiculously hot, so can he star in my If-This-Story-Was-a-Movie any day, right alongside Gaspard Ulliel and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. oil on gessoed bristol board, 9x12? [Contral (c) me] |

You did his lips and his eyes beautifully.

I heard the new Narnia movie was awful.
And the best part of it was that prince Caspian was hot.

LOL. Yes, that too.

“It's like we've been living in the Matrix. I mean, we sat here for years believing our own version of reality and then Jordan comes in like a big, freaky red pill and next thing you know we're waking up in a vat of goo."
"...What?"
Yeah, I can see a bit of Ben Barnes. Not that that's a bad thing at all. My friends and I went to see it, and while they were busy commenting on how OH SO AWESOME the movie is, I was drooling at ze hair. And ze all of him.
Oh my gawd, but Narnia annoys me so. All the other actors besides the glorious and gorgeous Ben Barnes were really stiff, especially the girl who played Susan. Plus the whole Jesus theme puts me off. (I am proud to say that I sneaked in and didn't pay a cent to see it. I'm doing the same with the Twilight movie.)

On another note, I really like how you painted his eyebrows and also how shiny and detailed his lips are. Very very nice

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 2, what is it?

Jonathan would play Contral's younger brother Julius. Unfortunately, Jonny would have to de-age back to his 'Gormenghast' era [link] [link] [link] He's great because he's swooningly gorgeous, yet there's something off about him, his stare can be so unsettling. Perfect for Jules. Haha, now we just need to find a good actor for Menachem.
Oh, and just for fun, JRM and Ewan McGregor: [link] HEEEE
