Hello all!
At first, I have to thank you all for your positive comments, thank you too Mr Wilson! It's a very good motivation for me to continue my hobby, I will certainly paint other scene or posters of Jack, as soon as possible.
Otherwise, yes! I've took Luis Guzman as model for Julio! I know, you have all a different vision of Julio when you read Jack's stories, I had myself a vision of an Italian guy type! But I thought Guzman were a good choice for this character...
In concern of Jack, it's funny to see your impressions, and you have all right! When I'm looking at it, I can actually recognize some resemblance with Charlie Sheen or Bruce Campbell, but I've took (again!) Nathan Fillion as model for Jack!
CCosborne3, you asked me how fast I work, and it's difficult to answer. Like I said, it's a hobby of mine (I play guitar too, and I read much!), and that depend on the difficulty level of the painting (and of the motivation too!). That depend too of the time I can dispose... and with a 3 years old gremlin (my son), it's not easy!
For that painting, I don't know exactly, but I think it took 10 days, with 2 till 4 hours a day.
Wdg3rd, I agree, Julio's regulars are certainly not big readers, it was certainly someone new in the bar, who's gone too fast, because of the weird atmosphere... you know... the regulars, the dead plants!
For the next painting, I've allready an idea. I think I will paint a scene from the second novel "Legacies".
To be continued...
