Dune (1984) - Gurney Halleck

It's yet another "Dune" (1984) painting.  "Dune June" marches onward (although, as busy as I've been of late, it will conclude in "Dune July"), with a couple more I have planned to finish the series.

Anyhoo, this time it's an opportunity to paint Patrick Stewart as the War Master for House Atreides, Gurney Halleck; Before he was Jean-Luc Picard, he was Gurney Halleck.  There is such a melange (pun slightly intended) of well-known actors that turn up in Lynch's "Dune", it is always a case of "Oh, yeah, so-and-so is in here, too!"

STEP ONE: Here are the quick pencils, done on a 6" x 8" gray gessoed hard board.

STEP TWO: And here is the first pass with Acrylic paint.

* * *

STEP THREE: And here's the finished painting, with lots and lots of back-and-forth with painting, repainting, and re-repainting.

Dune (1984) - Feyd Rautha

Hey, hey, everybody, it's another "Dune" (1984) painting.  I guess it is "Dune June" after all.  But, there was no way I couldn't include Sting as Feyd Rautha.  Perhaps David Lynch and Sting were channeling their inner Zardoz, but those black leather bikini briefs (ribbed for his/her/their pleasure?) definitely make a statement.  What kind of statement, I don't think I wanna know...
