Description “I believe there is a another world waiting for us, Sixsmith. A better world. And I’ll be waiting for you there.”


Ben Whishaw as Robert Frobisher in 'Cloud Atlas'.

Aka I never want to draw hair again. The coat pattern was horrible too. XD
I'm not 100% happy with how it turned out but I'm also too lazy to fix things.

Yes, I agree. It's definitely one of my favourite movies at the moment. Did you also read the book? It's very good, too.

Instant love! Where do I start? Everything's fantastic, every detail, from "lazy" vanishing background to every single hair on his head. I can imagine what you went through while drawing all this, but now we get to enjoy all this richness of detail, and texture, and lovely shading, so yay! The hair is drop dead gorgeous, he adorable as always and the scarf is once again so good you know exactly how it would feel like if you could touch it. I think the first time ever I saw the guy was as Richard II in Hollow Crown, he was great, and I managed to get as far as half of Henry IV, Part 1 with Tom Hiddleston, but than I just couldn't stand to watch anymore because because the text is spoken like in the play, maybe they even spoke every single Shakespeare's original line, I don't know, haven't read Henriad. Aaaanyway, loved him in James Bond, Cloud Atlas, Bright Star. Very happy you decided to such wonderful drawing of him.

SecondGoddess In reply to WickedIllusionArt [2013-05-19 21:57:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Oh my, I'm so glad that you like the background, I actually wanted to do something else but that didn't work so I did this blurry... thing. XD
I saw him first in Perfume: The Story of a Murderer but kinda forgot him again until Cloud Atlas (what a shame!). Totally agree with you regarding The Hollow Crown, I also haven't watched all of it yet because it's so tiring... even though I think my English is pretty good I have to pay so much attention to follow the dialogue...
Yes, Bright Star was great! I also loved him in The Hour!
I definitely have more pictures of him I'd love to draw, if only I had more time...

WickedIllusionArt In reply to SecondGoddess [2013-05-19 22:38:50 +0000 UTC]

Oh, so it was him in Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. Then I saw him there first too. Thinking about watching the Hour also. Just one of endless of British miniseries on my to-watch list, OK this one's not a miniseries if I remember, but who cares.

SecondGoddess In reply to WickedIllusionArt [2013-05-20 19:56:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, he looked rather different in that movie, I also didn't realize it's him immediately.
I can definitely recommend The Hour, all the actors are absolutely great. (I actually only watched it because Andrew Scott is in like three episodes, but it's really quality so I kept on watching )

WickedIllusionArt In reply to SecondGoddess [2013-05-21 02:52:04 +0000 UTC]

Never mind that, it's more funny how recently it was showed on our TV and I suggested watching it and expected them to start speaking French, I totally forgot it was on English, but then I heard them and saw Alan Rickman, etc. That's why it "wasn't him" to me but some French actor.

Will definitely watch it sometime then! Andrew Scott was so weird to me in Sherlock, great of course, but the way he spoke...I don't know how to explain it. Liked him in The Town.

Haha, yeah, his Moriarty was definitely a bit unusual ^^
I agree, he was great in The Town!

SeraphAlexa In reply to SecondGoddess [2013-05-20 20:20:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh, alright I suppose. Busy with work as usual, students being lazy and never doing their work and who suck at English, making my job so much harder. Trying to work some more on my novel, sorta reworked the characters a little. Been looking for proper references for some of them.
Decided on Michael's as this: [link]
And Raphael as this: [link]
What you think?

They look yummy, don't they? Would love if you could doodle one of them when you're bored and have a bit of free time if you want. I'm still trying to find some more references to use for the others, get a better feel of them and I'm reworking so much of the story and it's descriptions.

Of course, I'd love to draw them! I'm working on a bigger painting at the moment, a few portrait sketches in between are always good to relax. ^^ I'll send you a link when it's done ^^

Aww thank you my sweetie, can't wait to see. And yes, lately I've also been doing smaller stuff to just keep going and not stop and get all rusty between bigger works. Trying hard to improve at my art.
