I think I'm home :)

Imagine waking up with a craving for chocolate, and then discovering that a Belgian Confectioners had opened up that day next to your house.
And they were giving away free samples
And then they hired you to be their taster.

That's how I felt when I found this community. What a genius idea. Genius.

I know I'll be visiting often for some very good bad ideas, but I hope it's also alright if I sneak in occassionally to post a few paintings rather than photos, because that's my raison d'etre : to paint villains. Yummy ones. My LJ is bloody full of them, and they're increasing.

I humbly leave a few tasters with a chocolate mint on your pillow...

Sweeney Todd sketch card, Bohemian Weasel



Jareth the Goblin King - sketch card, Bohemian Weasel



Severus Snape 'Legilimens' - Bohemian Weasel



Dracul sketch card, Bohemian Weasel

Vlad Dracul, inspired by the famous portrait. Flavoured with Oldman. ;)


And when it comes to villains, let's hear it for the Victorians! I indulged in a little book-inspired campy-horror-goodness last Halloween: (Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde; Dorian Grey; Phantom of the Opera, Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster)

ooh, nice paintings!

I especially adore Jareth, but you forgot my favorite part of that scene: the blue streaks and glitter in his hair! You captured Alan Rickman's/Snape's features particularly well, and the detail on Dracul's ringlets is spectacular.

MMM. Chocolate!

P.S. Welcome!

Re: ooh, nice paintings!

Thank you! :D
And arrgh, the blue streaks! There's always something ;) But as for the glitter it's really strange (in a great spooky way) that you should say that... You have unconsciously answered an enigma: http://bohemian-weasel.livejournal.com/11710.html
Ah, and Dracul's ringlets. I could happily spend a very long time paying attention to their detail. :)

Oooh but I have to ask... is that Barnabas the vampire in your icon?

Wow, nice!!

These are fantabulous. And between Sweeney and Jareth (oh, what a lovely position to be in!), I'm swooning ;)

Re: Wow, nice!!

Ha, now that would be a position with a good view ;)
Though if you're wedged between those two, do mind you don't cut yourself on all those sharp cheekbones!

And I love your icon, though I'm not even entirely sure where it is, but it's very sweet and sad.

If you find you blow away easily, I suggest chocolate for ballast. ;)

Dorian Gray! :D Oh, I loves me some Dorian Gray.

Huzzah, me too! Though I suspect no one can love Dorian as much as he loves himself, the narcissistic little oik that he is, but a pretty oik at least.

I can't contribute anything that hasn't already been said, but what I must say is this: those are fantastic. I especially like Sweeney Todd and Severus Snape. The use of color is exquisite. Well done!

Thank you very much, you charming creature. And your icon is utterly fabulous in a deliciously gruesome sort of way. :)

Nice work! What did you use for rendering?

[info]bohemian_weasel

February 5 2008, 05:26:23 UTC 4 years ago

Thanks :) They are all mixed-media-tastic. They almost all have acrylics, but some have watercolours and liquid inks as well, in addition to the graphite/3 types of ink I draw with, and the white acrylic or gel I use for highlights.
I really should paint on wood, because any other media fast becomes mush under my ministrations ;)

February 5 2008, 05:31:51 UTC 4 years ago

Thanks! :D
(As an aside, I don't know if you'll be interested, but I'm making some icons to upload later - just for anyone who wants to use them - and one of them is from a painting I did of Medusa. That's if your username indicates a genuine interest ;)

Wonderful work! They're all beautiful but I think the Victorian Halloween ones are my favorites. Do you have a website for your art?

[info]bohemian_weasel

February 5 2008, 05:40:43 UTC 4 years ago

Yes I do, though it's *woefully* in need of a vast update!
Here: www.BohemianWeasel.com

But I just had a sneaky at your profile and you have the Mighty Boosh there!! I bloody love that program, it just makes everything so much better.
'Come with me now on a journey through time and space...' *sigh* :)

... in fact... *looks around furtively* I've never actually revealed this before, but can you see anything... familiar about the Victorian Gothic Dracula? he hee

You're a great artist! And I totally agree with all the villains you've chosen to paint and post for us here. Mmmm! Chocolate and hot villains - a lethal combination!

[info]bohemian_weasel

February 5 2008, 06:07:25 UTC 4 years ago

gosh, thank you :) My next endeavour shall be chocolate-coated villains, for those little in-between-meal snack times.

You paint the way I wish I could.

My favorite are the last ones, I love Victorian, well Victorian ANYTHING, and those cards are just gorgeous.

Aww, that is a truly lovely thing to say! (And something I thought a million times in the past about other people) And something you may well hear yourself in the future!

You are amazing! I love the Snape pictures. I was curious if you have done any of Darkness from Legend or Grima.

I am a huge Grima fan and I would love to see a dark sorrowful painting of him, something that would reflect his intelligence, and sorrow all at once. Reflect his lonliness. I would even purchase the real thing, if you sell your paintings that is. I am very impressed. Beautiful detail, shading, and the colors are wonderful.

I would be forever in your debt if you painted Grima, maybe even post some of my villain fictions.

Thanks very much :)
Actually yes, I do sell my work, I have a store on ebay where I sell a few things each week :

http://stores.ebay.com/Bohemian-Weasel

I haven't drawn Darkness but I have drawn Grima a few times. They have all been 'sketch cards' (trading-card sized art at 2.5 x 3.5 inches).

I did this one just for run, he's looking slightly sinister:

There are some more of him (done for Topps) among these cards here, I would have cropped him out and uploaded that instead - but I can't access photobucket at the moment, so I'm afraid he'll have to be lumped up with the others.

1 here, top row middle:

Topps sketch cards, Lotr Masterpeices 2


And one from when he's looking at the armies that will give 'no dawn to the race of men' and shedding a tear. (I liked the candle being snuffed out.)
