Artist's Comments

Second of the Dark Tower Series --- Eddie Dean

Oil on canvas
18 x 24"
8 . 06

Personally, I'm very dissatisfied with it, the features on the guy's how I envisioned Eddie, but too calm. And I really hate the background but was in a rush to finish it with 0 drive in creativity or comprehension in what I was doin. Now that i look at it, it would look better with a grayish background.

Finally! :)
If you mean his expression doesn't fully reflect Eddie's cocky nature... I can't critisise you anyway, his eyes are magnetic. They're captivating, unbearably sad and with alive sparkles in them. It's strange, I've imagined Eddie with the same messy hair you showed here. I love it, how can I not? :heart: :+fav:

:clap: Beautiful Features....incredible work!. I am with you on that face deserving a better background <wink> Maybe you could grey haze that out some and leave some original clor barely breaking through...like a totaly out of focus landscape. I would extend the sky to the entire right upper corner...Maybe that will create some kind of spark...I had a hard time on my last background myself ...:) I love the way you paint....:hug:

Thanks for the good feedback, but please do let me know which parts arent working together, coz I know this one's really flat compared to the Odetta one. Theres too many colors giving me a headache in this painting mainly coz I couldnt make up my mind on which colors to use. All mean critiques are now welcome :D

It's a good job. You're right, though: a little too calm for Eddie.
