Description

This piece was done for a contest at the Danish 3D community 3dmaxer.dk with the theme The Silent Killer. I quickly decided that I wanted to do an alternative interpretation of the subject (which sadly meant no cool, dangerous and sneaky ninjas for my part). :) "the silent killer" focuses on a very silent killer that we all can be very sure will get us someday: Time. It is one of the things in life we can be completely certain of - it will not last forever. The old man in the picture is on the edge of life, reflecting upon his past. Sadly though, not all pass away of natural courses, but most do, and I wanted to show that in this piece. I worked pretty hard for about a month on this to get it done in time for the deadline. The image is composited, retouched and post-processed upon in Photoshop. Due to the deadline things like subtle hair strands on the old man's head and his sweater had to be painted in afterwards.

Excellent concept. The sepia-colouring works very nice.

You've put together a cool piece of work here. I like how the old man, grandfather clock and family portraits put a spin on the duration of time. Good luck with the contest!

Thank you very much everyone! The contest has actually already been voted on. I got a 2nd place, which means I'll be receiving a book sometime soon. Really nice! :) //Mathias

Your my hero! Seriously, fantastic work. The only thing I can think of to make this image better would be a few large gross looking moles and such on the face. But that's just me being picky. Awesome.

this is realy cool. technical mastery and filled with artistic meaning. giving away the work's meaning with words subtracts from its impact, let the work tell its storry.
