Hehe, thank you!
Yes, that "real 18th century picture" feel is a nice touch. I find that I'm playing around more lately, both with my style and different techniques. It's fun, and the results are really lovely... There'll be more to see here soonish. :)

Beautiful. I like the brown paper. It fits the style of the portrait giving it an antique touch.

Thank you! :)
Yes, I've been playing around, and I really think that for different pictures to "feel" right, it's not just the style, but also the paper, inks, colours etc. used that play an important role... And it gives me the chance to try things. Glad you like the results!

I wonder if he's related to the Mona Lisa in that respect? xDD

Looks quite cool, if old. ^_^

*g* Thanks!
Well, considering the stories about the Mona Lisa that exist - Mona Lisa supposedly being Leonardo's female version of himself etc. - really makes you wonder about what goes on in an artist's brain. Or whether there's something going on in there at all. ;)

Gorgeous!!! And yes, please stay. I know LJ has its flaws, but... ::clings to the shoe buckle and sobs loudly:: DON'T LEAVE ME!!

lineae March 26 2008, 13:00:26 UTC

*smiles* Thank you, oh beloved rodent! :)
LJ has gone from slightly annoying to bad to worse... if that continues, I might have to leave to avoid blowing a valve. But I would never leave you.
I'd make a nice box with a pillow and a mug of mead and some cheese crackers, and make air holes in the top - and take you with me! Hah! :D

Gillette: I'm shagging James Norrington and you aren't. *smug*

*g* It's great and I love the texture.

Gillette: I'm shagging James Norrington and you aren't. *smug*

LOL! That could indeed be one explanation... ;D

Thanks! I love the style, and the colours of the inks - but that specific paper is a bitch to work with, since it's not pressed and fibers would snag on the metal tips of the drawing quills I used. Luckily I found another kind of pressed paper of a similar colour, so now there'll be more "parchment" style pics coming. :)
