Artist's Comments

Well. I bought a dvd of silence of the lambs (fantastic film) and got inspired, so here is a painting of everybody's favourite cannabilistic sociopathic serial killer: Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins)

I had great troubles with Crapcam on this. Uploaded onto my comp and pixellated beyond belief, I had to use Smart blur and blur tool and clone tool and colour adjustment etc...which is why it now looks a bit odd.

I painted this picture with Acrylics and a nice Chianti....sluuuuurps. :)

New edit*

I'd spelled the man's name wrong in the title, which frankly made me look a bit stupid. It has been corrected! :)

:dance:

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-02-27

Hannibal Lector by ~sullen-skrewt is one of the really neat pieces that showcases this artist's interesting usage of space, light and traditional painting techniques. Simplistic and thought-provoking, this piece captures the feeling of Hannibal in his quiet frightening state of mind. (Featured by ^ArtisticAunJuli)

:wow: that is REALLY GOOD - your technical skills are amazing - he looks like he's surfacing from a particularly hellish lake . . . nice dreamlike/nightmare quality here.

Thank you very much! He also happens to be a favourite character of mine too. I love characters with a dark side (in this case, very dark) but who exhibit charm and intelligence - the kind of people who you would invite as a dinner guest, as long as you had a cattle prod handy (for emergencies ;) )

:hug: Cheers...I wanted to paint him as though he wants to pop out of the canvas to meet ya. It's also good foreshortening practice. I like the idea of surfacing from a hellish lake - that's a great visual which gives me ideas.

Yeah, Like Loch Ness, full of peat - nightmarish stuff. Wish I had a clue re foreshortening, it's like math to me :shrug:

I FAV AND RUN.
Because I have nothing worthwhile saying.

I'll have to do some kind of tutorial or summit to show how I would do it (pretty much an upside down triangle, and lots of swearing and painting over the damn thing.) Wouldn't mind doing tutes actually - would keep me busy ;) I'll do a batman one :batman: :D

Thank you. The eyes had to be manipulated a bit because they came out almost totally black when uploaded, but I like the eyes myself...the 'away with the fairies' look :)

Ooo nice one. It's such a terrific film. I remember first seeing it and thinking 'that's one for the collection'. It's only recently I bought the DVD complete with outtakes and deleted scenes. Enjoy, but make sure you have a cushion to hide behind when you watch it. :fear:
