When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

I post NEW blogs or podcasts at ChrisOatley.com EVERY MONDAY! [link]
Recently, I discovered that old episodes of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe can be viewed for free on hulu.com. While watching the old episodes, I got really inspired. I started thinking about Skeletor. I mean, the guy has a floating skull instead of a head, an outfit festooned with bones, a giant alien-ram’s-head-staff and a grim-reaper-style hood and yet he is a complete buffoon. He is not the least bit scary. He is a walking contradiction. A joke. Judging from his design, he SHOULD be utterly terrifying. But then he opens his stupid mouth. Anyway, I still love him. And I always will. So I decided to attempt to paint a genuinely scary version of Skeletor. And here it is. I think I succeeded. But I’m interested in your opinions. Head to ChrisOatley.com to see the sketch for this painting. [link] Want more 80’s pop culture with a realistic twist? Check out my painting of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! [link] |

Energy and forever.
There's something about the color palette and light that makes you focus more on the mood of the piece than on the technical aspects of it. I did the drawing on Christmas day just-for-fun. I didn't have any reference or any pre-planning. I just sat down and drew it with my little portable WACOM tablet on my laptop. I finished the painting later. Sometimes you just need to finish something - that sense of accomplishment - to keep moving with other projects.
