Beautiful artworks! Can’t imagine the time it took for all those details.

Btw it’s “no one” and not “noone”

Btw it’s “no one” and not “noone”

Far as I can tell, compound words like “someone” or “everyone” work because they don't break the 'C-V' (consonant-vowel) pattern, which "noone" does.

Sound about right, or is there maybe some other aspect to that?

And now *I* want a satin dress! :D


(well, uh... I guess maybe... uh, it was the moment)

What's just as amazing as the work itself, is the models in the fancy dresses must have sat or stood very, very, very still for a very long time.

"If your leg moves a centimetre, it will completely destroy the folds and reflection of the entire dress that I'm currently painting".

Could he not have started the face then switched to a mannequin?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that's a very good point - and given the time period, actually pretty likely.

I feel foolish.

[–] cevn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It's probably possible with lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of work.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago
