Cu Chuilainn portrait
🕑 Added 2022-04-18 21:17:57 +0000 UTCHello! It's been a very long time since the last time I did Cu Chulainn from Smite. I felt very inpired yesterday so here it is.
This artwork is inspired by Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929), whose main color palettes are of yellows and warm colors. I had already seen some of Tuke's work in the past and always felt attracted by his management of light, color and his way of depicting male beauty, so I finally made a folder with many of his paintings in order to use as references. The last picture is The Sun Bathers, painted in 1927.
I hope to develop my style further influenced by his work, but that doesn't mean I will entirely change the way I do my colors (specially for character artworks), although I do hope his influence to be noticeable one way or another. Even if I manage to learn something from him I'll call it a day.
Last but not least, some of the brush strokes in this artwork were inspired by Leyendecker at some extent.

Thank you very much! I'm still experiment with this color palette but I still need more practice to polish this style :)

I hope you had a great Easter man! Awesome piece as usual :) It's cool to see your take on another artist's color style and how it compares to your own. I still very much appreciate the way you shade yours, so doing a mix of both every now and then would be neat. Always looking forward to new creations either way!
