Model - Natasja
Natasja is a Model who frequents the Photographer Baineann (baineann.deviantart.com/) and he allowed me to use her her photo's to make a painting of her. This honestly took me about 4 different tries over the course of a month roughly. I spent a TON of time working on this. Messed up and screwed up a few times and had to scrap a few, but finally got the look and feel I was trying to go for with her.
Her face took me a while to get right, especially her mouth. That took me hours of sitting just to make it look that way. And her nose.. Ugh... Never stared up a woman's nose so long and hard before, I realized once I finished it. lol
But after getting the right skin tones and the face correct (and not looking like Quasimodo's sister), I am ready to present to yo all the project that I've been working on for the last month on and off. Taking breaks to work on other projects when I got to frustrated. But with this, I feel like an achievement has been completed. And am extremely happy that the photographer who has seen the actual model up close in person can look at my work and be visually tricked into thinking it's a photo. And still just absolutely love it for the detail and how I placed his model in a whole new scene and setting than she was in when the reference photo was taken of her.
I very much want to thank Baineann once again for his support and contribution and also the beautiful Natasja for her amazing modeling work.
Just hope I didn't make it so life like it's creepy. Meh. Too late now. Am NOT going back. Baineann is happy, Natasja hopefully will be happy.... I am happy.
And I hope very much you all like and enjoy this work as well. And please visit Baneann's page to view his amazing photography work and the beautiful models he as captured with his lens.
