The original Pretty Boy of English Literature, Mr. Dorian Gray. Influences include Jude Law playing Bosie in Wilde, Tom Riddle´s curl of evil, Jonathan Rhyss Meyers´ lips, dandy!George from Paradise Kiss and Anthy Himemiya from Revolutionary Girl Utena.
This is a belated birthday present for my friend Grisel... so late in fact, that´s it´s more of a Christmas present. Anyway, I hope she likes it! I hadn´t done any colour work in ages, specially not with traditional media, so this is hardly as good as I had hoped. The original is considerably more vibrant, but my scanner refused to cooperate. All the same, I am oddly pleased with the final piece. It comes quite close to the Dorian I see in my mind everytime I read Oscar Wilde´s book. Only of course, in my mind he looks ten times hotter!
Que bonita ensalada de referencias jajaja. Me encanta los colores se ven bien, pero puedo imaginar cómo el scanner trabajó en tu contra. Igual, la paleta le va muy bien a Dorian Me encanta sobre todo el color de la rosa y de sus labios. Casi puedo verlo en acción a este Dorian! Vos sabés como me encanta, y que he estado esperando mucho a que dibujés un Dorian, así que

LOL Im in the middle of reading the book now and your drawing just reminde Doian was a blond. Picking up the book after two months made me think he was an ash brunnete. I don't know why... Im in the beginning of the book so I imagine him pure and fresh, something like what you have here.
Beautiful use of colors too.

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Don't plan the plan if you can't follow through. All that matters is taking matters into your own hands. So please give me a sec to catch my breath.
addition: And your art is simply gorgeous as usual! XDD ((hit the send button far too fast!)) I love the soft colors and his general "Hot boi"ness... you got him across so dandyishly without making him look like a girl! <3

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.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

I might do another Dorian soon... darker, nastier, sexier Dorian, because he is a lot more fun than the earlier rosy cheeks version!
