Face nine and ten for the 29 Faces is two of my favourite stars of the silver screen. Gene Kelly and Don O'Connor in their roles as Don Lockwood and Cosmo Brown in Singin' in the Rain. I can watch their dance routine in Moses Supposes over and over again with continuous joy. I adore these fellas.
Face number eight. One of my favourite characters from one of my favourite films. Ardeth Bay played by the fantastic Oded Fehr. I really want to do a 'The Mummy' portrait gallery at some point.
Once upon a time I was studying for my German exam, and decided to do so by watching film The Adventures of Huck Finn - with Elijah Wood as Huckleberry - dubbed into German. Not only did it help me score an excellent exam result, it also introduced me to Courtney B. Vance in the role of the slave Jim. And I just fell in love. He is my favourite character in the film and also stunningly handsome. So here he is, face number seven, Courtney B. Vance as Jim.
I've just come across your fanart for Ducky Mallard from 2017 which I think is absolutely amazing and I would love to know what you use for digital art and how long it took???? It's practically a photograph it's so good!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much. I use PS and a wacom tablet and pen. It's really hard to say how long it takes. It depends on the level of detail and if I can find my flow. I build it up same way as I would with oil paint. Big shapes to smaller and smaller strokes. 😁 It could take 8 hours it could take 80 hours. I honestly can't remember how long Ducky took. It was a while ago. ☺️ I should paint him again. He's so lovely.
Face number six. Some characters are just so comforting to paint and Lord Tirion of Awel Glyn is one of my favourites. Here he is taking some deep breaths in the morning sun. Many moons ago I came across Japanese actor Mansai Nomura who has a wonderful melodic voice that makes me instantly relax. While he tends to play comedic roles, his general ambience is super chill. To me at least. So if course I thought 'he'll make a great reference for the elf Lord Tirion from one of my stories'. Besides Lord Tirion does have an impeccable sense of humour.
Face number five. The return of Marshal Breed with his killer squint and his dusty, dusty poncho. Perhaps once day I shall finish writing my western with this delightful leading man. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
For face number four I revisited one of my favourite characters, Raleigh Samson. As always based on one of my favourite faces on one of my favourite people, the fantastic actor Jared Bankens. From the first moment I saw Mr. Bankens, I saw Raleigh Samson. Thank you Mr. Bankens, for letting me borrow your likeness for my little doodles.
Well, he was bound to be in there somewhere. Face number three, Hiroyuki Sanada. I just love him, okay. I just really, really love. A lot. Yes, ok. Glad we got that established
For the second face I thought, perhaps I'd save a bit of time by not painting any hair. I didn't. But I did have fun painting my favourite bounty hunter. Boba Fett at night. With a little sprinkle of stars.
February saw the return of the 29 Faces challenge - create 29 Faces using whatever medium of your choice during the month of Feb. I love this challenge, 'cause I love painting faces. I know, I know... shocking revelation. ;-)
I had devised a plan. I have so little time and even littler energy... so let's do just profiles. It's almost like only doing half a face... right.
I started out, Stan the man with a plan, got to day eleven, got a ill and collapsed in a heap.
So, while I wind back up again and try to finish the remaining faces, I shall commence posting the faces that made it in Feb.
Starting with face number 1. A fresh-faced, young Luis, barely old enough to grow his designer stubble. What can I say, I love my lil' resident scientist.
Enjoy!
Reblog if your art project has not, does not, and never will make use of generative ai at any point in your creative process.
The man, the myth, twinkle toes, pretentious bastard colleague, my favourite idiot... you know... Luis.

Well, it's only been a year. Have another Raleigh Samson. Here he is on a little excursion in the Emerald Graves. His Lyrium addiction now only a faint memory. Once again the fabulous face of Jared Bankens being the inspiration for my Samson. His face is the best.
A little while ago I was commissioned by the fabulousness that is The Stupendium to paint a portrait for their next video project - a stupendous and dramatic music video to celebrate the release of the game 'Frost Punk 2'.
For those unfamiliar, 'The Stupendium is a UK based musician, animator and content creator, creating weird, wonderful and usually incredibly nerdy songs and music videos.'
So if you love video games and love funny, quirky, poignant, dramatic and surprisingly heart wrenching music videos about video games with top tier wordsmithing... check them out!
The Stupendium YouTube Channel
They also have neat merchandise shop where you can purchase prints of the frosty version of my painting featured in the video and lots of other cool things.

I had so much fun painting this, and I am thrilled at how epic the video turned out.
Go check it out!

Hello. Just wanted to give you a heads up that someone is selling a photo of one of your Jeremy Brett portraits. I can not link but search under his name and it show up on the first page. Take Care. Karin.
Thanks for the heads up. I can't seem to find it. Do you know what the blog name is?
For your consideration... My take on Raleigh Samson from the Dragon Age games. Oddly topical since the next Dragon Age game is coming out soon.
I do love taking tragic characters who have had all the worst luck and give them redemption and a happy ending. Which is exactly what is happening here. Look at him all smiling and recovering from Lyrium addiction after having joined the Inquisition. Boy gone done good after all.
Have you seen yonderland? Or Bill? Your amazing paintings of their wacky characters would be awesome. 😊
I have seen Bill and would love to paint some of the characters some point. I've only seen clips of Yonderland, but it looks fun. 😁
