Massai

Description

The portrait of a Massai and a practice in doing very dark skintones with watercolors (the trick is to use a good deal of variations of cold and warm brown/grey). It was done during watercolor workshop by Jenny (by the way - how does one link to an other Dev art user?).

A photoreference from the National Geografic magazine was used for that painting.

Very good watercolour painting, very well pulled off in a difficult medium indeed! Love the detail level and shading.

Please pardon me asking, but would you by any chance be interested in allowing the Ninth Age (T9A: www.the-ninth-age.com/ ) to make use of this artwork piece?  T9A is a non-profit volunteer project with many creative hands and minds involved. It's the spiritual successor of Warhammer Fantasy, with some slight name changes and some new features to the well-liked old setting. It's heavily historically based fantasy.

Due credit always given! As is linking to the Deviantart pieces. And all art donations are always on the artists' terms, for as long as the artists want to allow T9A to use them.

Just wondering. This is very good art, and it would be seen by even more that way. Would fit right in with Vanhu Kingdoms: www.the-ninth-age.com/index.ph…

In any case, great artwork! Have a nice day, and happy new year! :)
