Painting of Michael Sheen as Lucian, from Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Acrylic on canvas paper. Probably about 5 hours work (shockingly, considering paintings seldom take me less than 16 hours ...). WIP progression here: [link]
There is a sad lack of high-quality Lucian references -- or any refs of him, really. I had to screencap the trailer off the Sci Fi channel site to get the image I wanted. :/ [link]
I have to admit, I was skeptical about this one at first (the painting, not the movie) -- I really didn't thnk I was going to be able to pull it off at all. Even now, I'm not entirely satisfied, but I like it much better than I thought I was going to when I was only halfway through with it! At least now I think it does look reasonably like Michael Sheen -- it didn't for quite a while! XD
There are other scenes I like too, so I may do another painting (or two) once the DVD comes out. *evil grin*

I'm not familiar with the movie, but I immediately recognized him as being that guy in those commercials.
