Contests / 2012 / Dark Shadows Contest

3rd and final pic of Barnabas!

That background took me literally a DAY, I swear!

_{Labor of love, labor of love.}

I wanted all sorts of old relics, the beautiful Victorian styling of window-ing and lighting (perfect for Barnabas' manor!

), as well as... something you'll only find in 1972.

I had SO MUCH FUN in this contest!
Whether I win or lose, I know I'll feel I gained a lot anyway: learned so much about drawing realistic, detail work, and pushing myself to see how far I can go, and all the rewards of improvement.

And of course, getting to work with such a beautiful subject (Johnnyyyy

)...

I've already won, if you ask me.

Best of luck to everyone else entering!

Oh wow, this looks fantastic! *-* Seriously, all the shading and lighting is so realistic, it looks like an actual photo!

I loved the background and all the textures you used X33 The Lava Lamp made me LOL, I was scrolling down and not expecting that!

But amazing job, you definitely already won for making such a wonderful job <3
