Artist's Comments

'Crocodile Tears' is a term used a lot in theater to describe fake crying. The expression also comes from an ancient anecdote that says 'crocodiles weep in order to lure in their prey.'
This artwork is meant o depict a model/sculpture that is so real, it is able to cry and in turn, lure the artist to her.

I should also mention that I LOVE SHORT HAIR on women. I'd say it is my favorite aesthetic attribute. I know that isn't a common thing for a guy to think but I believe it takes a very beautiful and feminine face to pull it off, like what you see here.

:bulletblue: Favorite comment to date: I agree with your love of short hair, not every woman can pull it off! O wise master your realism is stunning, and your imagination is as well! *robjoeball

EDIT: Changed the paintbrush to an airbrush / added paint bottle / added crocodile texture background.

"I like painting with graphite", LT - I'm available for commissions, send me a note if interested.
:iconmichaelo:
it's somewhere inbetween - which is why I categorize my art into mixed media - a step beyond photo manipulation and a step below straight painting.
:iconunfortunatelyfool:
Wonderful concept. It's a really remarkable work.

First... great concept, and her expression is amazing, it's exactly right for the idea. I love how the arms feel like they could be mine. Very cool. Also I want my hair like that... I'm not brave enough, its been long for about 10 years, but you make it look so good.
