Alphabet challenge: O

[motetus]

So from one Roman to another. This was meant to be of the_little_owl's young Roman nobleman Obianus, but I got excited looking through my stash of Roman uniform images and turned him into an older, battle-weary Centurion instead. An AU of an AU I suppose, but I'm still keeping the name.

O is for... Obianus
Obianus (an ancient Roman Obi-Wan), work-safe



(a huge thank you to goblin_dae and the_little_owl for helping me out with this)

LOOK I MADE A MOVING THING.

Awesome! What a stunning pic

I like the moving progression thingie :)

Thanks! Now help me kidnap Ewan McGregor's pets and loved ones to hold hostage until he agrees to star in a movie where he gets to dress up like this.

I LOVE YOUR MOVING THING!

ALSO YOUR STILL THING.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Moving thing is so hypnotic. Look at it move!

[hominysnark.livejournal.com]

Can't not look at it ....

It's fading in and out of the 4th dimension, time ...

As mentioned before, loving the rueful look he's giving the viewer, somewhere to the left of me.

Can't take full credit for the look, I had an awesome reference picture of Ewan. One of those photos that scream "paint me" on first glance.

I have been sucking at commenting on your art because I suck. I am way digging the color and texture here. NOW DO PORN. DO IT NOW.

IT SHALL BE DONE MY LORD.

No wait, the next up is Padme. Shall I draw her having a lesbian romp with Sly Moore?

[swcajolings.livejournal.com]

PADME/BREHA ORGANA BECAUSE BAIL IS TOO BUSY GALLAVANTING AROUND CORUSCANT AFTER GENERAL KENOBI. IT'LL BE A SMOLDERING BOOBFEST OF HOT WOMEN WITH BIG HAIR.

DO IT.

*le google image search*

Damn, Breha's cute. Okay, boobfest of hot women with big hair it is!

[swcajolings.livejournal.com]

AAAAWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAH

[shakesmears.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I love that, I like him world-weary.

And the moving thing is cool too! Lookie how much work it is to get it right!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Hah, the animation doesn't show anywhere near the number of repaints the face had. Huzzah for Photoshop and its forgiving attitude!

[temve.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, definitely a part I'd love to see him play! very realistic, and very him. *applauds*

(going to see the Eagle of the Ninth tonight to get my Roman fix :)

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Ooh, let me know what you thought of it. I was excited about it but then the trailer looked really crappy.

[the-little-owl.livejournal.com]

Wow! This is gorgeous! I so want to see a film with Ewan as a centurion now! And I'm glad that Obianus inspired you to such a great painting. I bet the boy would appreciate - after all he wants to become a soldier, even if he's got a bit picky recently, about which theatre of war he's going to choose.

I adore the final stage of your painting, and I like the slide show of its stages. It's great to see things developing.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Gratiam ago! ;)

Heh, I think your Obianus probably has a better chance of succeeding in life if he picks politics over fighting. Shame, because he'd look better in uniform than in a toga.

[the-little-owl.livejournal.com]

Let's see where the story takes him ;>)

[inyadreems.livejournal.com]

Both things are things of wonder. I would love to see the film.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Me too. I'm going to write to Parliament and ask them to pass a law decreeing Ewan has to make at least one film a year that requires him to wear pretty historical costumes.

[inyadreems.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be greedy to add a clause about getting naked with another man?

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Not greedy at all. Let's make it on pain of death.

[hsv-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Nicely done! Love the colors. He is cute!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He is cute, isn't he? I bet all the people he slaughtered and enslaved think so too.

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

Loved the progression!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one who is fascinated by how it progresses.

[sandspirit.livejournal.com]

Beautiful work!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! :)
