Human Coltrane by MayYeo

Second one in my "Human portraits" series. He is Coltrane Holland... He was born around 1770. I wished I could emulate some sort of oil impasto but it didn't look good (at least not with the Painter versions that I own). So it's very sharp and all that >.<

Photoshop CS4, Painter7 and X

Named for the son in "Mister Holland's Opus," I presume? The detail on this is -fantastic-!

It's amazing how you could render the velvet jacket and the brocade waistcoat...
Nor to mention everything else!

Dreamsettler Featured By Owner Aug 18, 2011

Although it didn't seems like an old painting, it's still amazing! Lovely colors!

MayYeo Featured By Owner Aug 18, 2011 Professional Filmographer

Haha, well, I tried ^^U

Vesperius Featured By Owner Aug 18, 2011

This is fantastic! I LOVE how you've done the lace and the expression is so endearing. I wonder, the eye on camera left, did you mean to make it so wide and bright? It seems a bit bulgy, the sclera that is, though his face is so lovely, it's little difference. I'm thinking, is that eagle a sculpture in the background, sitting on his desk? Do you think it may be a little bright? I do hope you don't mind the little critique. The work is so marvelous regardless though, and I certainly can't turn something that nice out of Painter. Most of all I love that hair! I want to run my fingers through it.

MayYeo Featured By Owner Aug 18, 2011 Professional Filmographer

Ah, don't worry! I actually like crits! I usually collect crits and suggestions and then upload a better version

Yours are all valid! Thanks for your very kind words ^^

Vesperius Featured By Owner Aug 18, 2011

That is so wonderful that you're so accepting of critique. I know it is not always easy, especially when a lot of time is put into a piece! Just curious, did you reference Jonas Sundström for the face? It reminds me of him a lot, and I just love him!

MayYeo Featured By Owner Aug 18, 2011 Professional Filmographer

That is why! Because it took so long, what's a few more minutes to make it look better (with the help of others)? ^^
No, I didn't know that guy at all, but he is very handsome 0.0 I used Danila Polyakov as reference(he's one of my big muses ^^U)
