Artist's Comments

Worked on in: 11th grade

Title of piece: "Rune Escape" (play on the name of the online game 'Runescape';)

Dimentions: w->20” h->16”

What's going on: This is my brother- the photograph was taken at a time when he was very interested in the game. He has gotten up VERY early in the morning and snuck downstairs to play, hair amuss. I made the screen have a tunnel actually going in through the screen, representing the RPG's constant appeal- with perpetual goals, it's like a light that's constantly at the end of a tunnel that nobody can fully reach. I recently submitted it to the game's fan art program-- can it count as fan art? Also, I shone a light behind him-- could I make the back-lighting even stronger in the painting?

Medium: Oil

wow, that painting is awesome. I do like how you put that light behind him... kinda puts off a 'glowing' aura.

This is amazing. The wood grain and his arm gives me chills.

geez. your work is pretty much awesome!

To you (and the 3 people above), thank you.

It took a lot of time. It took awhile, since it's oil and I painted it in layers.

I actually did position a reading light behind him when I took a picture. Changed some stuff around a little though. The hair's still not done where the lighting is concerned.

I actually posted some details (though you may have seen 'em) of this one in the gallery, and there's another one in the "scraps" folder (the coin jar).

It's all about layers. You can get some "frosty" effects by painting the dark colors and then the light overtop.

Well done, If they don't put this up that would be quite sad. =( Nice attention to detail, very well drawn! =)
