Just a guy stuck on top of this impossibly tall pillar, reading his life away. I really took my time on the details of this so feel free to check out the detail zoom file attached if... http://mrbook.gfxartist.com/artworks/112978 MrBook Painting / Figure Another gentle giant theme. Basically just trying to show a victorious celebration after battle where everyone is elated except for this one compassionate beast. The subject is basically the giant being devastated because he couldn't protect his friend.

Well,... http://mrbook.gfxartist.com/artworks/95537 MrBook Painting / Figure This one is centered around a theme of contrasting strength, weakness and trust. I like seeing something small and vulnerable trust, completely, in something powerful and menacing. I decided to make the giant read a book to create some kind of sense that appearances aren't everything and... http://mrbook.gfxartist.com/artworks/95402 MrBook Painting / Figure A study of the musculature of the back, originally, but it drifted away into something a little more fantasy. I guess it's just a guy drifting towards heaven. I also just like doing two light sources on the human figure. One spotlight and one diffuse light from beneath.
