This one truly took so long to paint ;_; I've always loved paintings with lots of tiny hidden details but couldn't work on those very often because of my hand injury. But I decided to really indulge this time. Most of my paintings take 1-3 recording sessions but this one took 10 ahahaha
The character is Dante, a painter from my work in progress novel about artists titled 1000 Words Unframed. He's an eccentric one and likes to paint trompe l'oeil, aka illusions. Here he's painting a bunch of clocks onto his wall, but none of the clocks are accurate, some having 13 hours, one clock is a spiral, another is made of eyeballs lol. He is also a lover of cats, hence all the cat portraits and kitties hanging out. Here are some close ups of all the details!
Here's a timelapse of how I painted it. The bottles and table in the foreground started as 3D models in SketchUp. The rest is painted in Paint Tool SAI. The full HD image, 10 art videos, and PSD file will be DMed on Patreon.com/Yuumei on April 5th.
The secret to being a private person is to overshare dumb shit so people think you are an open book but then not tell them any of the important details of your life.
In case anyone else was wondering, it looks like the font they chose to design the “EDEN” and “GATE” tattoos on John’s fingers is called Anglican Text.
I’m still looking for the one they used for the sins in Latin, though...
Read so much posts of this kind and had the sudden urge to do one myself.
Rafayel is for those who have always felt trapped, captured in a cage of obligation and expectations, and who always wanted to be snatched away to finally be free to do what they wanted and be who they wanted.
Rafayel is for the ones who were being told to be too much: too sensitive, too emotional, too curious, too loud, too dramatic, too dreamy.
Rafayel is for those who never seem to fit in society and always stand out despite their desperate attempts to be like someone else.
Rafayel is for those who were told to stop being so immature and silly, act more grown-up, and take responsibility.
Rafayel is for the ones who were never loved the way they needed and deserved, always being neglected by others who got all the love and attention they missed
Rafayel is for the ones who are helpless romantics and don't dare to show it and are desperate to lose themselves in an all-consuming love and don't mind being the obsession for someone else
Rafayel is for those who weren't always important enough and never were someone else's first priority because everyone else needed more attention.
Rafayel is for the ones who are frightened of things going too fast or too close in a relationship because they are afraid of losing the little freedom they had to fight
Rafayel is for those who have massive trust issues and would rather be in charge instead of being hurt and left behind or lowering their guard too easily.
Rafayel is for those who were able to retain a sense of innocence and kindness, a little bright flame despite the cruel and dark world around them.
