Artist's Comments

Class assignment self portrait: 1

The assignment was to do a 30 minute speed painting self portrait using a limited color palette selected from fruits we did gouache-color samples from with varying tints.

My fruits were Eggplant, Kiwi, Tomato and Lemon

I really like pomegranates.

I wonder if you creep out the teacher and any other classmates with your paintings... XD

When no one was looking, The Valentine Brothers invaded the Hellsing mansion and killed ninety Hellsing soldiers. They killed 90 Hellsing soldiers. That's as many as nine tens. And that's terrible.

That...in 30 minutes? In gouache? WOW. Can I steal some of your speediness, please?

Lovin' the muted colors and the claw-ish fingers.

The teeth bother me a wee bit. I know you were crunched for time, but they're kinda' coming off, structurally speaking, as rodent's teeth. Unless you wanted that effect, in which case good job. 8D

Wanted it to be creepy and misleading (look gross despite it just being a fruit), plus I do not have perfect teeth anyway.

I look like that but with eyes and normal proportions. my hair is stiff and stringy so if I clip it back it'll stick up like that (and will stay with the help of spray, but I usually don't bother... I need a hair cut, too)

I have no time for commissions or trades and still have some I need to finish, sorry :(
