Saint

Another "Three Quarter" face with tube lines in an under layer. It has a bit of a nun's habit look that reminds me of an old favorite - "Song of Bernadette." It reminds me of the end of the movie when the bitter old nun realizes the suffering of Bernadette and carries her around before she dies. Gets me every time.

Another Three Quarter Face

Three Quarter Alt.


Background Three Quarter Alt.

Another version of "Three Quarter" from a few days ago (Three Quarter, Mar 08). This one has a simple, warm background with two imported layers of the earlier face. One is a transparency of only 60% while the upper layer of the face is at 100%; both are partially erased out so the under layers show.

Disturbing Face

Getting a bit darker again with the imagery. Somewhere in there is the face from an earlier image called "Forward" (Forward, Jan 08). I added black paint around the features and made an under layer with the paint tube feature on ArtRage, similar to "Caged" (Caged - Using Tube of Paint, Feb 08) only with a different mood.

Three Quarter

This ArtRage is much more painterly than many of my other faces. It is more female as well. I am also stressing the black and white of the lips less. It has a sadness that the others do not have; it is more about the eyes. It reminds me of a girl that I have seen a couple of times at the local Target. She wears makeup like a goth, porcelain doll.

Lips Again

Lips With Lines


Porcupine

Back to lip exports for these two ArtRages. They are more about texture and dark values this time. I think I will try more of the hole punch lips.

Tilt

Tilt

I am not in love with this image or the one before, but I do not feel done with them either. I keep bringing this unfocused-eyed face back and working on it. I started "Tilt" with another face underneath and brought in the exported layer from the ArtRage done earlier (Gray, Mar 08).

Gray

Gray

Pulled out the old forward face from a while back (Forward, Jan 08). Mixed up some gray colors and lots of layers. I like the balance of whites, blacks, and grays. There is a bit of a hairdo thing going that reminds me of Gary Oldman's in The Fifth Element.

More Profiles - This Time in the Desert

Desert


Desert 2

Here are two side profiles added to an abstract ArtRage that reminds me of the desert. The yellow gold in the abstract looks good with the yellows in the reversed profiles. The second version may look better than the first because the larger profile on the right has better contrast around the features. However, I do like the first one's overall look; the movement of the patterns is nice.
