The goal here was to get the look of an old oil painting of an alchemist but to have him wear some high tech glasses. The whole thing is a postcard design for Alchemic Dreams.
Did a reference shot of my girlfriend for the alchemist and ended up just manipulating and over painting the photo, so it’s more a photo manipulation than actually a painting :-). Oh, well digital makes it possible ;-). And no, she doesn’t have such a nice beard in real life, haha…
Hope you like…

Can't even tell that this is a manipulation, it all fits so seamlessly. :wow: Love the lighting and the detail of the hand as well. :D

Well actually there’s not much left from the photo, I just was to lazy to sketch the piece and started to smear over the photo, but as I just painted over the photo I wanted to post it in photo manipulation as it was not painted completely from scratch. Well the curtain and hand in the foreground are painted from scratch just the background image (the alchemist and table with stuff on it) once was a photo ;-).

I would hope she doesn't have such a fine beard! Fabulous touch with the modern goggles!

Great job. It does look a lot like oils, how do you achieve that look?

Looks great!. Was contacted once by a guy, Philippe something...can't remember his last name, from alchemic dreams...can't say those guys seem serious to me as he never even bothered to reply to my e-mail back to him.

Well those guys are pretty serious, I did a lot for them lately (mainly website designs), they always paid absolutely fast and much more than most of the gaming companies I know…
Sad to hear they didn’t reply your mail :-(.
