After the rain

Description

This is actually intended to be my original Dark City character, Markus 'Rat' Rathbone, hence the hard-to-see guitar sticking out of the pack. This was actually based on a painting I had floating around on the hard drive as a while because the image was so wonderful. What struck me the most was the play of light and shadows on the puddles. I think it was a portrait of some jobless men from the Depression era. Rat's pose is taken almost exactly from the man on the far end of the bench, and the composition mimics the painting, but the details and color scheme are different. I'm actually wishing I'd made the background even more green, now...
The original work is about 8 inches square, and done entirely in crayon. No joke. My girlfriend's done some pretty neat stuff in crayon before and I wanted to try my hand at it.

Crayola crayon, paper blending sticks.

Crayon is my favorite medium. This is gorgeous

If it were bordered a bit differently, I'd hang this in my house. Incredible, and I LOVE the lighting, and the body language of the man. ♥
