25 of my Best Images: #23 – Bare Knuckle Brawl

#23 – Bare Knuckle Brawl

A bloody outdoor boxing match without gloves or fanfare. This is one of the rare images where I used references [stills from a YouTube video] and ordinary people to create a tableaux.

Why I chose it:

It has a traditional painterly feel reminiscent of Hopper, and the subject matter and characters are unique for me. The brushwork and textures are well done, which is more obvious in the details.

The original post

The original post has more details, a rather good explanation of what the piece is about, a link to the video it’s based on, and another link to a post showing the process of making it.

And if you like my art or criticism, please consider chipping in so I can keep working until I drop. Through Patreon, you can give $1 (or more) per month to help keep me going (y’know, so I don’t have to put art on the back-burner while I slog away at a full-time job). See how it works here.

Or go directly to my account.

Or you can make a one time donation to help me keep on making art and blogging (and restore my faith in humanity simultaneously).
