Done with charcoal. First attempt at using charcoal, I guess it's better to use pencil if you want as much detail, but oh well it was fun.
I messed up the lips which I can't fix now since I sprayed it with fixative.

I really like that technique you used on the statue, for the shading, it really looks like the light is filtering in through the leaves. Nicely done.

sappy pre-raphaelite-esque thing:

hmm, perhaps, but i think your heavy, "crude" strokes, manipulation of forms and intentional flattening of the picture plane is really knocking down the door of the 20th century.  it takes more than subject matter to fit in with a movement

(which is not at all to say i don't love the piece, which i do - it's a nice, departure from the other stuff i've seen from you - almost an emancipation of the hand when compared with, say, your concept sketches).

yeah thats what I meant, subject matter.  damsels floating around in water.  It was just pointed out to me that all those paintings are of Ophelia.  I always thought they just liked to paint chicks floating around.  Ha. 
 

A bit unfortunate because this was not supposed to be Ophelia but thats what everyone sees when they see it.  And Ophelia doesn't really meet the subject of the contest this was for.  Oh well.

Too much of water hast thou, poor Ophelia,
And therefore I forbid my tears.

but yeah, it can suck when people mistake your subject matter (when it's important to your piece that mistakes not be made).

The last one is an original piece.. the other two are just random improvising.

Here's Angry Video Game Nerd.. I'm very unsatisfied with the colouring and the way the colouring works with the line art but I couldn't be buggered to work it any further.

[HMC]

Hahahaha, that's wonderful
