Description He was moving around the country in concentric circles, drawing closer and closer to the magnetic core of where she was, and one day, sitting in one of the spartan but comfy company-held apartments, looking over the coffee table littered with what had been the prime source of excitement, challenge, pride over the past ten years, at the manila folders of new assignments (high-profile all of them), his bank accounts, with a sinking feeling he came to realize the most horrible five words he’d always been dreaded and hoped would never reach him finally took root in his mind: it was not enough anymore.

From the sequel to my Red Eye fanfic, Uprooted [link] I know I'm horrible, still have yet to finish Uprooted and have already notes to its sequel

Um, he looks kind of like the little brother of Jake Gyllenhaal, Jared Leto and Cillian Murphy. Of course, only the latter was intended but I suck.

I guess that's one of my favorite themes of the Fanart100 project.

His eyes and his face are so perfectly done !!! I love the angle and the shading and the way he looks. So damn handsome !!
And his jawline...

Everything else in this pic is also beautiful colored. What kind of programm and brushes do you use ? It looks a bit like painted by hand, which I like (and also would like to be able to achieve with PC coloring ...)

Oh, thank you honey, a compliment like that from someone as talented as you means a lot

I use Photoshop CS2, a wacom bamboo tablet and -shame on me- customs brushed: hard edged with low flow and opacity (and not 100% hard edge) and my favorite that i use for shading the most is as far as i remember a charcoal brush: it gives a very soft, smooth effect to the paint.
It might seem hand-painted because i used low-saturated colors. I think i should be bolder to combine colors, low-and high saturated and warm-cold colors. But your coloring is absolutely great, yummy naked Jacksons with a rifle

XD then it really is a good outcome I don't know Jared that much, have only seen Mr Nobody lately, and never once thought that he has any resemblance with Cillian. Well, maybe because he doesnt?

Hey, I love the preview, I can't wait to read your new story. Or a new chapter of Uprooted, because this story is soo amazing. I can't believe how creative you are, I mean you're such a talented artist and writer!

Love this one!

Thank you The new chapter will be posted tomorrow

OH! Really? HA! You just made my day girl! Well, I'm working on the next chapter of my ff right now, I already have 2,506 words but it's still not over and I'm dealing with kinda writing block right now - .- I'm also not that experienced in writing stories, especially fanfictions, since I've just started writing them (with this story) and like you I'm not a native speaker either.

But it seems like you're the perfect artist in everyway. Your paintings, your stories.
I would call it creativity or a gift from god. I'm serious.

Oh and I'm sooo happy that there are at least 10 chapters more, because I love this story soo much.
Really, I'm not making this up, while reading the second chapter of Uprooted I was like "God, this is sooo good! When was the last time I read something as challenging as this"

Okay, sorry for the long message

You are too kind, really, with this comment you also made MY day
