Jared Padalecki - Digital Painting

[reggie11]

I posted this to Deviantart a while back and though maybe I should post it here as well. I painted this late last year and it's become my favourite art piece. It's based on a a photo that you've probably all seen by now, and it's definitely one of my favourite photos of Jared of all time. All of the digital paintings I have done have been of him, so I guess you can say he is my art muse.

Here's a little teaser. Full pic below cut.

Lovely!!

It's a wonderful picture of Jared, and you did a fabulous job! I love all the lines you made :)

Beautiful! I could stare all evening!

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I could stare at him all day too. It says a lot about me that I haven't painted anyone else, I think I'm a tad obsessed, lol.

Wow. That's amazing. I love the face!

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I love it when he has a bit of scruff on his face :)

Oh, so pretty. great job on the posture.

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Why thank you ma'am!

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is simply gorgeous.

The folds of his shirt, the creases in his jeans, his stunning eyes, the wisps of hair peeking out from the bottom of his beanie (which I really dislike him wearing-- why cover up such a beautiful asset) are all wonderful done.

Thanks so much! For me, eyes are really tricky so I'm glad they look okay. I have a thing for guys in beanies, I think they're so damn sexy, which makes no sense really because it covers his gorgeous hair. The photo I worked off was such high quality, it made the small details like folds a lot easier.

Oh wow! That's cool! :)

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

This is great. You did a wonderful job! I really like how you painted his beanie. You use such subtle color variations, but the shadows and folds of the fabric come across so well! It allows me to really get that sense of weight and shape under his hat.

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I was so pleased with the way the beanie turned out, I'm so glad you liked it!

Thank you, honey. I can't help myself, he's just too gorgeous :)

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

That is truly lovely, you have captured him so well. Love his expression and the colour of his shirt and the way it hangs. His neck is lickable! Wonderful.

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thank you. A lickable neck, love it! Yep, I would totally lick him like a lollipop :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Very very nice! It is one of my fave Jared photos too and you have certainly done it justice. Lovely job!

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thanks a bunch. Every time I see you commenting somewhere, I end up drooling over your icon of Jared's bum, yummy.

[gorkonelka.livejournal.com]

THIS!!!!! is just amazing. It looks like original ;) the posture, mimics, colors, even the veins on his hand/arm!!!! You can draw... like really... duh! :D

Thank you so much for sharing your talen with our hungry eyes ;)

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Aww shucks, thank you for such a lovely comment. The shirt fabric in the photo had such an interesting texture, I just wish I could have captured it.

[vandlp1088.livejournal.com]

Amazing painting. You capture his pose and his expression perfectly. Also I really like your style, it makes the picture unique :)

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so in love with that photo and his pensive expression :)

[mysteriousaliwz.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! And we get a nice view of his lovely forearms :)

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I have a bit of a kink for his arms and hands, they're very sexy.

[cillab42.livejournal.com]

Pretty

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

[deansdirtybb.livejournal.com]

Wow. Just wow. This is gorgeous, sugar. You've not only captured the image, but the emotion as well.

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thanks, lovely. He's such a stunning looking man and this was one of my all time favourite photos so I had to give it a go. I'm in the midst of another Jared pic in a style I've never tried before and I'm also working on one of Jensen as Dean :)

[zara-zee.livejournal.com]

I was just browsing an art community (as you do) and found this.
Wow. It's stunning! :) I love the colours...

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon! I pretty much kept as close as possible to the colours from the original source photo because I really like the muted greys and blues, it's a lovely palette.
