Mind blowing. Words fail to describe how much I love your work.

Ditto 

Very beautiful !!!

[sagefic]

 just have to say, these are fantastic. the ashley one, i think, is possibly the best. it looks like you had a live person sitting for that portrait, it's got so much life to it

[Daewan]

Those are all very good. You have quite an amazing talent for faces.

[Mresa]

All of those paintings are just amazing. Especially Wrex and Garrus, both are very realistic looking.

firest0rm : haha cheers dude!  Gathering reference on Commander Sheperd as we speak. Hes next!

Chignon : Thanks and yes Oils can be such a pain at times.

Skilled Seeker, Intensity Penguin : Thanks very much! I will try to keep the ball rolling!

CleverCover : Cheers for the epic reply!  Joker is very close to being done, most definetely starting him in time for christmas.

pacer90 : Thanks man! It's weird but I feel like I have been working on these for months and months, so far its only been about a month so it must be a challange. Also kind of weird but with oils I find anything with 'craters' easyier and more satisfying to paint, while the smooth skinned ones like Liara and Ashlay suuuuch a pain! lol Cant wait for Zaeed!

Gilsa : Thanks! Means a lot that you like them! 

just_mike : WREX IS BEAST! :happy:

Jenova65 : Haha! Nah I dont get fed up of it, to me if you guys stopped saying you liked my paintings then I would be worried I was doing something wrong with them. Just the fact any of you come here and take the time out of your day to comment means a lot to me and keeps me pushing to the next one.

Systemlord Baal, Aslanasadi : Thanks very much! 

sagequeen : haha yeah I think a lot of it is the fact she is smiling slightly, and I spent quite a lot of time on her eyes. Cheers! 

Daewan, Mresa : Thank you! 

I am currently cleaning up some things with Kaiden right now, unsquaring parts of his jaw and pushing some of the darks etc. Should have him re posted tonight, will update the original post of him then. Will be starting the one and only commander sheperd over the weekend which should be fun! Now the question, evil or not evil shepard? I think I will add a few parts of his scars at least.

I swear to God if you did a TIM painting i would hang it over my fireplace

[Jenova65]

@SaturnsGate, it is also very nice (I noticed, reading the whole thread) that you take the time to reply to everyone's comment.

Keep up the good work, I would love to see what you would do with Thane btw (though Kaidan will remain my favourite) :-)

[firest0rm]

@saturnsgate idea for shep rather than painting him/her paragon/renegade why not paint Shepard just after waking up from the Lazarus project that way you can have the scars without having to pick a alignment.



but if you are going to pick paint one or the other definitely do evil sheploo =D

[SaturnsGate]

MrDizaztar : TIM will be a definent painting soon. Pity I dont have a fireplace to put him over lol!

Jenova65 : Cheers! Thane will be a fun one, and challanging painting those scales. lol

firest0rm : Nice idea man! I think I will do just that, in terms of the scarring being when he just wakes up, I might even add a slight, very slight red in one of the eyes.

-----------------------------------

I know I said I would start shepard this weekend but I am thinking I might need a break to recharge my painting batteries. Sorry!! Ha, even though I say that I might slip up and say screw it I NEED TO PAINT MORE! Just giving a heads up in case I vanish for a little while.

YOU ROCK!



I DEMAND LEGION!

Please.

[ShepardsAssassin]

That´s awesome work, you really rock, hope to see more soon.

[Estelindis]

Your Kaidan is awesome, hairbump and all! I am so impressed by your use of texture as a new artist in this medium. :-)

[Sailears]

Oh my, just tuned in after a couple of weeks and what you've done with Ashley and Kaiden is very good. I'll be honest here - the first three are absolutely outstanding, no doubt about that.
The last two are very good, but something is off about them and I can't quite put my finger on it; Ashley's face epecially. I feel her jaw is a little large. Kaiden's eyes seem a little small and close together as well. Mind you I haven't studied the faces as closely as you must have done to paint these, this is just the impression I am getting from viewing your work.
I just thought I should say that so your next one tops all of these.



Edit: come to think of it, Liara's left eye (seen as right) is a little off as well, but this is a minor niggle.

I'm very impressed with how good you interpreted the characters, i'd say that the only one that doesn't look exactly like their video game counterpart is kaidan. His face just seems too long, but I'm just being nitpicky here, amazing job overall.

[Jenova65]

Just thought I would pop in and see if there are any updates................... *looks hopeful*

[SaturnsGate]

Hey guys! Sorry its been so long since a reply! I have been super busy, though unfortunately not with painting. Work has been quite heavy and I brought the blu ray of battle star gallactica so am trying to get through those with my girlfiend. Not to mention christmas, the holidays are mainly going to be visiting family and catching a break.

So I will say the painting will commence around January again and I will be re doing a few of the previous paintings. Kaiden and Liara will be definetely re painted. Garrus and Wrex wont while I am still having thoughts about Ashley. I should also be set up with a decent light and mirror for the painting so that should help a lot more. I will probably be purchasing Mass Effect for the pc also and taking my own screencaps to work from and get the best possible portrait from them. It should all be worth it in the end.

Anyway I thought it best to give you guys a heads up just to let you know I am not doing a runner. haha!

Have a great christmas everyone! Oh and HELL YES to the mass effect 3 trailer bioware. Excellent!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tighue : Thanks man!

Mesinda2 : LOL! You win best comment of the entire thread so far. and yes he will be coming!

Estelindis : Thanks very much, the next painting of him should be much much better.

Carunen : Thanks very much for the crits, I too have looked at where I have gone wrong and will try my hardest not to let it happen again, hence the repaints. Ashley I am not so sure about, I will need to check her over a few times. Thanks again! 

Phaedon : I lold too

ChuckNorris18 : Yeah he has annoyed me since I have finished him tbh, He is now hidden from all view facing a wall where he belongs. Next one should do him justice.

Jenova65 : Thanks for dropping by! I will be updating with new paintings in a month or so.

[Intensity Penguin]

Can't wait for January man!

[khevan]

I must say that I am very, VERY impressed by your work so far.  I wish I had half your talent for painting, especially portraits.  Faces are simply the bane of my existance.

I've noticed that you have been very open to (constructive) criticism, and I also noticed that you're looking to redo some of the paintings here, so I'd like to offer some very well intentioned critique, just some minor things I noticed.  Nothing at all major, but in the interest of providing feedback, here goes:


Liara

With Liara, her left eye, the right one from the viewer's perspective, is slightly too far to the side.  With that almost 3/4 profile you got going, the eye spacing can be a pain (believe me, I have a helluva time getting it right).  It should be just a tiny bit closer to her nose.  It's just obvious enough to be noticeable, but not enough to get in a tizzy over.  Just wanted to mention it.

Kaiden


This one took a bit for me to put my finger on what I thought was off, but I think I figured it out.  He's looking slightly to his left (our right), but his jaw looks as if it's facing the camera full faced.  The left side of his jaw (our right) is too pronounced.  It should blend into his cheek a bit more, instead of it being a full jawline.


There's something  just a little "off" about Ash's pic too, but I can't really put my finger on it.  The only thing I can think to say is that her face just looks a bit too long...but everything is in proportion as far as I can tell.  This one is really a minor quibble.

Overall, I really, REALLY like the work you've done here.  If I had the budget (and my wife let me buy random art from the internet) I'd consider commissioning you to paint me one of these.  Alas, the two conditions above cannot be met at this time (especially the wife), but I wanted to say how much I really like your work.  Keep it up!

[khevan]

This is obviously a quick and dirty example of what I meant with Liara in my earlier post. I just moved her eye in Paint, and filled in the space with some of your face. It's entirely your work, I just modified the digital image to show what I meant. The effect is subtle, I think I only moved the eye like 1/16", but it's enough to "feel" better to me. I'll link a pic here to show what I'm talking about.



The top pic is your original, the bottom is my modified version.  Again, the effect is subtle, but it's enough.  Just to demonstrate what I meant.   Pictures just tell the tale better than words can, and I thought it was better to show what I meant, rather than just write it.

Again, good work.  Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Edit:  I have the full face image of the modified version if you want it.  I don't want to post it here, because it's a modified version of your work, and I would rather your work be the focus, not my modification to it.

Hey man thanks very much for the crits and paintover, I have to be really brief as I am just off to my familys for a few days for christmas but that was great! Cheers!

I will keep the unmodified versions though, just to be honest about the mistakes I made and to learn from them for the next ones. Again thankyou for taking the time out to do all that! Merry Christmas! (fights off hordes of legion fans, hes coming hes coming!!)

Oh, and I have absolutely no problem with you painting over my work if you think it will make it look better. I want these to be as good as I can make them, so any help is definetely a big help. Kaiden and Liara have been facing a wall for a while now, and for good reason! haha!

Fantastic work! They are all great but my favorite is undoubtedly Garrus. It's just a stunning painting that captures everything about the character.
