a painting series: "creatures my girlfriend has created to torment me"

(1/2) > >>

seibei:
I painted these for my girlfriend's Christmas present - this is really lame, but these are three creatures that are, umm, involved in tickling?



the crab!



the face gnome!



the treebear!

let me know what you think! my painting technique isn't great, but I like how they came out.

Will:
This is a really small and stupid thing, but I quite like the way you use the colors.  They look much cooler having similar colored backgrounds than I imagine they would if you had gone with contrasting colors.  The face-gnome is a bit phallic though, don't ya think?

seibei:
yeah, I figured I could get away with simple designs if I did them in two different shades of a color.

the weird thing is, they match these three mannequins my girlfriend has in her dining room, so I must have been thinking of them when I decided on these color schemes, though at the time it seemed arbitrary.

re: the face gnome, what's a gnome without a pointy hat?  :-D

NiMRoD420:
A gnome without a phallus on his head, I'd imagine.

That said, nice work fella.

Trollstormur:
perhaps screen printing would have been better for these. you could have gotten cleaner lines and more uniform-looking shapes.
