Gackt and Belle

. . . .o_o;;;;;

I have gone through what seems like complete hell for this picture. OMGackt.


Well, I'll try to keep it short and sweet. Something I did to include in my college porfolio, as well as enter in Muse's Gackt fanart contest. My third realism, as well as my first dog! I'm kind of proud.

There are some proportional problems, but I like to think they are rather vague. Belle also ended out being a little light in the face. She's normally a mahogany brown, but all in black in white, she appeared light coloured. I decided to try a few new things with this, as well as doing the shirt in colour for contrast, and I'm quite happy with it.

By the way, Belle is a miniature long hair dashaund. That's why she looks so small. She really is that small (or close to it).


Comments, compliments, FAVOURITES! Well, if you want. But I can't say I wouldn't love ya for it. I sacrificed a lot for this piece, and it deserves some special treatment. Maybe?


The original of this is sold, however, prints are available. Note me if interested.


Elapsed Time: 26 and 1/2 hours
Size: 14"x17"
Materials: Ebony pencil, Prismacolor pencils, photo reference, Photoshop for touch-ups

FULL VIEW is a MUST!!


EDIT-- I went back and touched up the picture, so hopefully now you can't see ANY of the lines where the scans overlap. If you can . .well, I did the best I could. Just ignore them.


EDIT -- 12/11/07 -- I am sad to announce that the sweet pup in this picture, Belle Constantine Chappy, has passed away. She'd been Gackt's friend through thick and thin for many many years, and she will be missed!
