Beautiful artworks! Can’t imagine the time it took for all those details.

Btw it’s “no one” and not “noone”

Btw it’s “no one” and not “noone”

Far as I can tell, compound words like “someone” or “everyone” work because they don't break the 'C-V' (consonant-vowel) pattern, which "noone" does.

Sound about right, or is there maybe some other aspect to that?

And now *I* want a satin dress! :D


(well, uh... I guess maybe... uh, it was the moment)

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's just as amazing as the work itself, is the models in the fancy dresses must have sat or stood very, very, very still for a very long time.

"If your leg moves a centimetre, it will completely destroy the folds and reflection of the entire dress that I'm currently painting".

Could he not have started the face then switched to a mannequin?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, that's a very good point - and given the time period, actually pretty likely.

I feel foolish.

[–] cevn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No worries, happens to all of us, maybe me more den anyone :D

This guy was incredible

It's probably possible with lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of work.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

Nghhh, the one thing I lack. Foiled again!

It is also fascinating to see the way he idolized ths feets and hands.
He had amazing grasp of everything and he still made the decision to not make those appendages realistic size.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought maybe the people weren't the emphasis, but it seems like he was going for full realism. Maybe just doing them a favor by paintshopping their hands and feet to be a bit smaller? Wouldn't want to make them look like Lana.

[–] Melobol@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I think he is kinda hyper realistic. Looking at more works of his even the peasants were tiny handed and feeted :)
Paintshopping is a thing, but to see it inevery pieces of a painter, that is really curious.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

Well, that's just..stunning.
