Artist's Comments

Seemed appropriate to put this up around Halloween. This was part of a homework for my 'Head & Hands' class, we were to use photo reference of a person, known or unknown and do a kind of value-map/plane related portrait. Once again, portraits are definately not my specialty, but I had tried Imhotep a while back and not been happy with the result, so this looked like a good time to try again. At least this time I can tell who it is ;)

Arnold Vosloo as he portrayed Imhotep in the Universal Picture, The Mummy.

Medium: Prismacolor pencils on toned paper.

Dear god!

I LOVED that movie, and I'm simply ADORING the way you've portrayed him here! Found the lightwork, the shading, the shapes in the facial structure all down to pat...it really does look like Arnold. :heart:

Very appropriate.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts...

Wow, very nice! He's completely recognisable!

Was I the only one yelling "Imohotep was an ARCHITECT!" during The Mummy?

Good morning, Starshine! The Earth says hello! ^^

I recognised him instantly. Actually, my head went "Hey! That's the Mummy dude!" ^^;

Operative: Yessir, now that I've killed off their only contact and have a whole fleet of battleships at my command, absolutely nothing can go wrong now.
Serenity: Surprise! We invited the entire reaver population to the party!
Operative:....HOLY SHAZNAK

It's Hollywood! They take a true historical fact, and they twist it for their ends. I watched an episode of Rome that made it look like Caesarion was fathered by some roman soldier who was there when Cleopatra was particularly horny! How messed up is that? :D
