Really nice kitty. I especially like the shadow falling across his face - looks like he's sneaking a peek at something and adds to his expression somehow...

...It's Jones isn't it?

Hello James,
Right one! And he ain't going to leave that hiding place for nothing!
Beginning to think we have the same movies in our shelves...........
Found out I can't paint fur on this one!
Take Care,
Steve

Thanks Rom!
It's nice of you to reply, I'm sort of stuck in that theme right now.
Glad you liked Questions, currently updating her.
Take Care,
Steve

Was going to be a larger painting, but I screwed up with the sizing....
Now it looks like it should be hanging on a wall in a bank, or a lobby
of large corporation, maybe in the future?
Hope you like it,
Steve

Ah, you've saved me some trouble - I was going to respond to this image in my thread, but I thought I should look to see if you'd posted it elsewhere, and you have, wonderful! I'm surprised you didn't come here sooner.

This one is really good. Very impressive indeed. I like how you've captured his expression perfectly, and the way the light looks through those crazy glasses of his. I also like how painterly it is - as you say, it wouldn't look out of place in, say, the lobby of a bank, or a futuristic robotics company.

And yes, it's quite likely we share a few movies in out respective collections (although come to think of it I don't currently own any Alien movies - I should probably rectify that)

Anyway, lovely work. Me, I only do eyes, ju-ju-just eyes.

I raise my hat in front of Your last marvel, dear Steve!

Hanging in the Tyrell Corp offices. The lighting is really cool. I'm so used to seeing lighting coming at three-quarters or lower. But having this shadow in a formal portrait falling onto him from directly forward and above with a shadow cutting across the top of his head renders it distinctly different, murky and is consistent with the dark, Film Noir feel.

Was this from when he stepped out of the shadows after Dekker finished up with running the test on Rachael, after meeting her the first time?

I was driving at night here in LA on the freeway past the oil refineries and it looked so Bladerunner in the early shot - the purposeful yet abstract shapes of the stacks, the lights, and even the blasts of flame coming out the top. If I had my old copy of the soundtrack on disk rather than audio tape, I would have to listen to it if ever I drive by there again.

Anyway, it's a really cool portrait. I like the siennas as it gives an under painted quality. Makes it feel very classical yet smoggy all at once. You captured the components quite nicely.

This one is soooo classy. Just perfect Dear Steve.
