Illustration Friday : camouflage> Do you know these people?
I wanted to work with some more blacks and whites, and came up with this... sort of influenced by the Toulouse Lautrec I've been studying. I like the texture... What do you think?
Ah and the camouflage? Who knows 'who' these people are? Most actors, say they take on a different personna...when they get into stage makeup. It actually camouflages their own when they dress up or projects who they want to be. Thus one of the joys of dress up. So... its not always blending in....

oh cant go wrong with lautrec, and yes now that u mentioned it i can see the influnce here in this illo, nice texture in the background.
Awesome! def has the Lautrec feel. limited color works grrreat here- well done! and great thought about it not always being about blending in
I know a painting is marvelous, when I wonder what is going on behind the faces. This piece captures the imagination. Beautiful just to look at, but fascinating as well, wow!
Nice take on camouflage! I love Lautrec and the influence shows.
This reminds me of Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli in Caberet! Love this!
Great painting as always, Janice!
Oh! I love Marcel Marceau the most famous mime in the world!
When i saw your image i remember him!
Lovely piece!
Cata.

Your art is so expresive!
You can surely feel Lautrec's influence here, wow!

Hi Janice. Very nice illustration. I love mimes!
I think you were asking about Poser a while back. It's a 3D human modeling program. Originally conceived as an artist's digital model, now people use it for final output. It can animate also.
A free version of this type of software is DAZ-Studio.
Thanks for the birthday wish. I'm getting over it--one more year to 55.
Yes, this is one of my favorites too. Lautrec holds a special place in my heart and did him one better.
A real, old-time Parisian feel to this one. I think Toulouse would highly approve. Nice one Janice.
Ahhh! I love this style. Great take on the theme! And thanks for the game mat idea on my post-- I'm definitely going to see if I can find a way of making that happen!
This is just gorgeous, love it.
Great painting! Wonderful piece and concept, Janice. :)
OOh, Janice, I love this illo!!!
Love it!
Yeah, this looks fantastic when enlarged. Love the rawnes and textural effect. Makes me wanna paint again.
I love their eyes, they are full of expression!
Very expressive hands and eyes. Love the composition.
Gotta watch out for the street artist version of these folks. You're right... they tend to blend in... and then... pow!... you're right in the middle of a four-sided box with them! And they're sneaky-quiet, too. Not a peep.
I love the way you handled the skin tones, the textures look perfectly like stage makeup!
Oh, wow - fantastic work!
A great concept too.
Very nice! Lots of interest with the varieties of colors you blended in! Excellent.
