Here is the last (worthy) miniature I painted, again, a bust. This time the fantastic Faun from Pedro Fernández for Origen Arts.
It was painted during the fantastic Roman Lappat's Beginner's workshop in Heidelberg, more than 2 weeks ago. Since it was already my second workshop, I could choose a topic, and I decided to focus on atmosphere, as I knew Roman was the perfect guy for that. Therefore, most of the credit has to go to him, and also to Peter Tóth "Baphomet", who also extensively supported me and guided me through the process.
Now, regarding the miniature, the intention was to paint a pale flesh Faun under a brilliant blueish moon light, trying to capture that impression on every texture, colour and material. Though just after 2 weeks I see many things that can be done better and in a different way, I will be always quite proud of this bust as I believe in some ways it has been a level up for me. It definitely helped me to break many barriers that were constraining my creativity, and since then my brain is close to explode in a continuos analysis of the interplay between light and color, and all factors that influence them. Again, thanks Roman and Peter for pushing me over the cliff ;)
Obviously, all feedback, comments and criticism are more than welcome! Thank you so much in advance!
