There's something uncanny about your portrits. Congratiolations

**Noctulius** · January 14th, 2011, 04:30 AM

Thanks

Maybe you noticed i didnt paint eyelashes, thats why the eyes are so creepy

**Noctulius** · January 20th, 2011, 09:43 PM

New one

**Andrew Sonea** · January 20th, 2011, 11:48 PM

These are nice. I like the first one a lot (I will have to disagree with you thinking it is the lack of eyelashes though--I find it gains that surreal/uncanny quality from the eyes being much larger than on a real person).

Are you using reference on these?

**Noctulius** · January 29th, 2011, 01:48 PM

Most of the time i dont use reference, but when i see something i really like i go for it

Anyway, yet an other one.

I touched up an old one

**Jie Kageshinzo** · February 9th, 2011, 12:37 AM

Nice brushworks, dude. Did you use Painter on these?

**Chris E** · February 9th, 2011, 12:06 PM

Lovely works. They're very lifelike but 'just not really', if you know what I mean? I like that.

**ArtZealot** · February 9th, 2011, 04:49 PM

Wow, i've never stopped by your sketchbook before. U have some really nice stuff in here. My only crit would be to try branching out from just portraits, cause i'll bet you could do some killer stuff with whole figures if your portraits are this good.

Anyway, keep it up! looks great!

**Amadra** · February 11th, 2011, 12:55 PM

now that you point out the eyes yes very creepy. But creepy in a ecstatically vivid way.

**Noctulius** · February 13th, 2011, 03:22 AM

Thanks guyz

@ArtZealot: Yeah i actually should get away a little from portraits, its very rare that i do anything else.

And a new one:

**Wozza** · February 13th, 2011, 03:39 AM

Hi Noctulius, I'm not really the right person to give major critique back based on my level of skill, but I feel like I needed to congratulate you on creating some beautiful paintings of these girls... the rendering is great and these are a great inspiration for someone like me. Would love to know your secrets and work process.

**Noctulius** · February 13th, 2011, 04:03 AM

Thank you for your kind words

I actually made a turorial on my process. I hope you'll like it

Lovely work! Got lost in the eyes! Very nice

**masioka** · February 26th, 2011, 10:53 AM

Amazing!!! love the subtleness of the tones - the eyes draw you in.

Breathless.

What program did you use? Photoshop?

**Chris Bennett** · February 26th, 2011, 12:45 PM

I like 'em, they are all kinda monumental and delicate at the same time, but that first picture plus the one on the thumbnail have really got something. I think it has to do with the fact that the whole rectangle is coming into expressive operation, rather than parts as is the case with most of the others.

**Velocity Kendall** · February 27th, 2011, 02:44 AM

this is damn cool
i like her dolls eyes and the overall image

**Misplacedhippos** · February 27th, 2011, 02:47 PM

I really like these...

**sony** · February 28th, 2011, 04:13 AM

Wow nicely exaggerated proportions on the face especially eyes.
its hard to retain the age with such a big eyes nicely controlled portraits works.

**juliuslim** · February 28th, 2011, 04:17 AM

**thedestroyer** · February 28th, 2011, 04:50 AM

Awesome portraits! I really like your style.

**Noctulius** · April 4th, 2011, 07:16 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys

**Noctulius** · April 15th, 2011, 07:55 AM

New one

**analogouslife** · April 15th, 2011, 03:29 PM

Yeah that first one is awesome, for sure. I agree that it has an uncanny quality to it... the expression I think does it for me. Very classical.

**J@n!t** · April 15th, 2011, 04:15 PM

These are glorious.

**JayGreat** · April 16th, 2011, 12:47 AM

Awesome paintings! Your style is really awesome!!! 5 and 6 are the only ones that freak me out. :-) The last one could use some more definition. One of my favorite parts of your paintings is the hair. In last one u went out of focus on the hair & face. You should absolutely paint a sister. (African American face) It would be awesome! I'd love to see how u approach a different skin tone. It would add another dimension to your awesome portraits.
