Description
September 8, 2006 - Papercut_Dragon
Concept art for my art class. I'm doin' five pieces on my sister marrying her Playstation controller; this is number one.

Pulled an all-nighter painting this. I was sooo tired the next day (and I had a Spanish test, which was thankfully extremely easy. Or maybe it just seemed easy . . . ).

[Edit: It just seemed easy. Whoops :P ]

There should be more to say about this . . . oh! That's my shirt, but my sister don't have any white clothes (wedding and all that), so she borrowed it.

Acrylic on luwan (18x24), time is one night plus some other random amount of hours to draw it out and paint the underpainting.

[My sister would like you to know that she's not actually glued to the TV and Playstation. She has way too much homework for that. But, she does play a lot. =D ]

Link to the second piece, The Breakfast Game: http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-501713.html

wow, you paint so wonderfully, and on the second one, i don't think you draw spoons, cereal, or plates and/or bowls half bad : ) if it makes you feel better, i can just barely draw hands, much less a spoon or cereal... -__-

Painting that spoon drove me up the wall. On the other hand, I can draw PS2 controllers really well!


Thanks! :)

Wow, you know what your work reminds me of? A little bit of Alice Neel. You should check her out on Google.

Cool to see videogames depicted in this media. I love the concept, it's funny and you've put gravity in it with the way you painted it(don't ask me how! ^^; that's as close as I get to describing it). The light in this is beautiful. Favourite.

Español es muy dificil, sí. ^^; Mi professora rara vez habla en inglés, y yo no entiendo much cuando ella habla en español. Y mi vocabulario . . . lol. Chicos de cinco años saben más palabras que mi.

Jaja . . . ¿entiendes? My grammar isn't that great, either. =^_^=

I'll be getting the third one . . . several years after it comes out, when the price is down to a reasonable $200. O_o

BadArtist
Sep 12, 2006 05:03 AM by: BadArtist
that almost as odd as Silverscales' drawing of the letter R..well, you did a good job! but why Playstation? why not the Wii? or gamecube? i like Sony and Nintendo, nintendo is just better:P
 
Papercut_Dragon
Sep 12, 2006 02:18 PM by: Papercut_Dragon
Thanks! And, well, there's several reasons. One is that in my mind, the Playstation one is more universally recognizeable than anything. The second is that it's blackish and makes for better contrast and ties in better with the background. And the third (and main) reason is that PS is the one she plays the most (we have a GameCube but we only have Link and Mario Smash Bros and one controller, 'cause we're cheap ^^;). So there you have it.

. . . Is that a swastica??

Oh wow thats awesome and very clever! As a few other people have said I love the looping around the finger to make it look like rings. Lovely detail on the controller.

The cross between photo realism and visable brush strokes makes this a very interesting and beautiful piece. You are a very talented painter. :)

Oh! And I forgot to mention how awesome the looping of the cord around the finger is! Wedding bands! XD

Not many people mention that, actually. ^_^ Even though that's supposed to be the main clue. Glad you got that. :P
