_{Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name

Chris Cornell - You know my name}

Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre (

)

So I watched Casino Royale again. And Valhalla Rising....

AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT

YES I BLAME YOU _{and especially for you I'm still up at 2am to post this so you'll see it tomorrow when you arrive at home because you should suffer like I do mwaha}

Ok, after this useless rant, let's talk about the picture. I wanted a) to draw Mads Mikkelsen again b) in color and c) super fast, because university starts soon and I can't spent my days drawing anymore ;_;
So that's why I got the ridiculous idea to paint a canvas black with acrylics and then draw over it with colored pencils - I still can't believe that it actually worked. And I have to say that I really like the result and think that I should maybe make more in this style. Do you agree?

Tools:
- Reference picture: Photo by Greg Williams from his book 'Bond on Set - Filming Casino Royale'
- Faber Castell Polychromos (best colored pencils ever)
- 30 x 40 cm canvas
- time: ~10h

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture, it's a scan and scanning canvas always looks awful. Plus, I had to do it in two parts because it's to big for my scanner, and then put it together again in paint.net. That's why there's a strange spot in his hair etc. I'll try to get a decent photo tomorrow, but I'm not sure if my crappy camera will help that much.

edit: at least slightly better picture
