I am hypnotized by how you illustrated the raindrops in the pools of blood, a detail I’m certain most artists would have forgotten to add. I really REALLY love his skin as well, the colour and just overall sheen on it is spectacular! I think it's quite safe to say that you have well established yourself in the CG world; your most current pieces have been just wonderful! And first comment goes to me! Ah cha cha! Rachel Zyden Beaconsfield replies: "I’m now working hard on the next CG masterpiece, which I plan to make more professional, more accurate, and with more swish light effects and colours. But, so far it’s taken me three days, and I’ve only just got onto shading >_o Pity me." | |
| 13 Sep 2004 | Samantha L Houghton | Loading...This is so fantastic, as I've said from the start when I first saw the WIP @_@ From the stylised, awesome skintone, his realistically rendered hair, and that excellent blood, to the well-developed background and rain effect, every part of this piece is superb and your effort and skill really shines in every aspect. | |
| 7 Oct 2004 | V. E. Lehkonen | Loading...I had to comment too. XD I definitely like this one. For your third one, this is just awesome. You should've seen my third one. I remember it sucking more than what was humanely possible... Er, back to your picture. I like the colors a lot, and the pose of course... I wish I could draw dynamic poses like that. The perspective of the blood looks a bit weird though... I like the lighting too. Hmm... *fifth comment performance* Rachel Zyden Beaconsfield replies: "Agreed, the blood perspective is off. I could go back and try again, but I’ve decided to push on with my next digital project instead, and just learn from my past mistakes. I will admit, Photoshop is so much better then Paintshop Pro – I did a few CG pieces on that programme with a mouse, and they were simply horrific and discouraging. It was a good year-long gap before I tried afresh with a tablet and PS7." | |

| 1 Feb 2005 | Alexandra Lewitzki | Loading...Wow! He's really handsome!!! I like him  | |
| 6 Sep 2005 | Sarah Matts | Loading...Awesome rain effect, and a great pose too! | |
| 6 Dec 2005 | Lissi Marie D. A. L. Henriksen | Loading...oh, forgot, I like the coloured version much better thatn the lineart version. Here he has more personality and is more handsome ^^ | |
| 6 Dec 2005 | Lissi Marie D. A. L. Henriksen | Loading...I like how his muscles are visible ^^ handsome. I also love the pose ^^ but best of all is the rainy atmosphere ^^ well done. So is Theo Zydens son or...? ^^ sure would love to knowYes, Theo is Zyden’s son. I think I say that somewhere in this gallery, but don't hold me to that. The exact nature of how Theo comes to be is intentionally vague – plot in development. But as father and son go, their personalities couldn’t be more dissimilar, while still sharing some obvious traits. Edit: http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/b/e/beaconsfield/no_problem.jpg.html <-- That'd be the one. | |
| 8 Dec 2005 | Katlin I. Wallace | Loading...I like this picture. ALOT. His pose is very dynamic, asis said in previous comments. But I just find one small mistake, unless you meant it to be that way. The blood looks as if it is standing up in front of him a little. Or maybe that is just his position throwing it off. But I love how you did the raindrops in the blood though. I don't think that many would take the time to actually put that in. Nice touch. | |
| 22 Aug 2006 | T. J. Smith | Loading...*more purrrrrrrring...* awwwww! He's so cuuuuuuuute....I want him too. However, you already mentioned elsewhere he has a son...so I guess I'll have to have him instead. Oh well. | |
