Ok- easily chalking this up as (in my opinion) my best piece of artwork to date. Owing to the sheer amount of time I've put into painting this and stuff, I couldn't be more proud.

Not long ago I had the chance to read Pinocchio, and then re-watch the movie since it had been years since I'd seen it last.

Thus inspired, I painted this- Pinocchio on his way to school when he is stopped by Honest John, who persuades him to abandon his schooling for life as an actor.

Enjoy!

The soft shadows give this one a faintly ominous air, without overdoing it. The shading on the hands is especially beautiful, and really lends an appearance of dimensionality.

Honest John used to scare me as a kid. Haha.

Anyways~ I have to agree with you; this IS your best piece of artwork to date! You've really learned to control this shading style professionally! The lighting is great, the poses/anatomy are spot on, and it's balanced/easy to look at. It's so detailed! I can nearly breathe the effort you put into it. xD If I didn't know better, I would think that this came straight out of the official Pinocchio. And I mean that with all honesty~

On a random note, have you ever tried painting traditionally? It was a challenge for me, but I think you could pull it off. o3o

This is FANTASTIC.

Funny, when I was a kid, I thought Honest John was awesome, yet never knew why until I watched the film again as an adult. Because when I did, I muttered "best con man ever" when he showed up.
