Mr.Barnabasby *FrozenTempest

Contests / 2012 / Dark Shadows Contest

I learned allot from doing this portrait. But sadly for all my effort, I don't think this piece is a winner for the sole reason its not imaginative, nor did I really give Barnabas a make over.

I don't know where all my creativity went while I was painting this piece, but it never came. And the few ideas I did have, I either didn't know how to execute without compromising the picture, or felt like it would it made it look crappy.

I really wanted to do more with this painting...

At least I no longer loathe it like i did sometime after starting with his face. I cringed so much that my jaw cramped.

Hopefully I could do something by Tuesday to fix that problem.

There might be some minor edits and changes right till the due date.

Painted in corel using worn pastel brush.

edit: 4/22/12, made some some minor tweaks.
Edit 2:4/23/12, touched up the face some more, and added a eyes in the back ground. One for each relative.
Edit 3: 4/24/12: Touched up his face again, and his clothes a bit.
Edit 4: 4/24/12: Touched up his face and clothes again, and touched up his hair.

Although he looks like a mix of old and new, I think you did a good job of capturing a lot of the original Barnabus's features. I think this is very good, and remember that Barnabus is a very dry and stiff person, at least in the original soap opera.

~Alexander-Lloyd-King May 27, 2012

At least he's that way when he presents himself to others. Underneath, he is highly emotional and Jonathon Frid did a great job of portraying that emotional conflict.

Yes, but remember...Barnabus was "born" during the Classical Period.

~Leatha101 Apr 22, 2012

It's a very classic piece...nicely done.

I know. That what I don't like about it. It looks too classic, dry and stiff. =_=
