Painting the Doctor.

[logansrogue]

Okay, so today I decided to finally get started on my large Doctor Who painted portrait. Progress under cut...



Just sketched in the line work with pastel over an ochre acrylic base.


Starting to block in the warmer colours of his face...


Filling in the details slowly. I need to fix his nose, its been blocked in too low and it makes him look like the flying guy from Heroes.



OK! So, I'm getting horribly attached to this painting. Which means I'll probably never sell the fucker, but say that I *did* sell it... how much would you buy it for?

Oh Nancy... this is stunning!!

Thank you :) I wish I could give it to Mr. Tennant himself. Not that he'd want to have a great honking painting lying around wherever he lives - it might get in the way lol!

Whoa! That is an amazing piece. I got that little catch my breath where you forget to breathe when you see something beautiful. You're a brilliant artist, Nancy. *stares some more* Yeah, that kind of work would demand top dollar.

That looks awesome.

Thanks, Zoe! :)

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

That looks fabulous! :)

Thank you! :)

I love you and hate you for being so damned talented!
Mostly love you, though. :D
It's just amazing.

Wow, that's fantastic!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Thanks, babe! :D

Ugh, Nancy, you're so horribly talented. I just love you.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe, thank you, sweetie. :D

[asweetdownfall.livejournal.com]

My goodness...that is so lifelike! I love it. :)

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I've never had anyone say my stuff is life-like before! Awesome! :D

Nah, he looks too fabulous to be mistaken for Nathan Petrelli!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I dunno, Nathan Petrelli was pretty impressive. (But I've only seen first season Heroes).

I would totally buy that. I was kinda thinking of offering to, but the postage to US would be RIDICULOUS

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Well, I could always do a smaller one for you. It'd cost less and it'd be all for you.

[secrets-n-lies.livejournal.com]

i would totally buy that if it was of tom baker *haha*

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

LOLOL! I need to do a painting of Tom Baker - his face is so gloriously interesting!!

[leviathan0999.livejournal.com]

Magnificent!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you so much! :D

[sugaryfun.livejournal.com]

So far, so very good. I love the eyes.

Oh my dear lord. I'm even hearing his scotish accent in my head as I type this. This is something beyond. And price? Whatever the next increment up from the other guy was, I'd pay.
Remember when I told you I was thinking about commissioning you for something? Well I was actually a little nervous because all the work of yours I'd seen was cartoons. Doubt removed. I WANT you.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

That happened with me and jaseroque, actually! :D

[dejla.livejournal.com]

I think it's lovely. I've seen paintings like this easily go for 150 or 200--but I'm not a judge of prices.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the feedback! I think that's about what I'd get from fandom circles.

[cygnia.livejournal.com]

Sweet Tinkerbell Jesus, I'm impressed!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Heh, thank you :D :D It's the first time I've painted in some years!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

*has a mental image of Jesus in a tu-tu*

*slowly grins*

Have you seen this?
