James Wilson Portrait

[agent-era.livejournal.com]

I can post fan art here right? He does have a rather woeful look on his face....



Ok, please give me your honest opinions on this. I used a S.1 promo pic for a ref. Does he look like Wilson?


Wilson didn't move from his position on the floor. He stared unseeingly at the closed door of his office. His cheek stung. House's angry words still ringing in his ears. They'd hurt more than the fist. Silent tears started to fall and Wilson didn't stop them....


I'd love it if anyone would turn that into a full fledged gen fic. My inspiration for that was: what if after the episode "Detox" House found out that it was Wilson who was the mastermind behind the bet? Naturally, he gets mad....and violent...

I like the feel of your lines, and as someone who traditionally had a ton of trouble drawing people (and now I'm a pro artist for a living), I'll suggest trying out drawing with a grid, as shown here: http://www.art-made-easy.com/drawing-using-a-grid.html

I use this tool whenever I have accurate portraits to do; mine are usually animal portraits, but you can do anything this way. Using the grid will reveal to you just how much your brain fools your eye. What I mean is, you'll discover that a lot of proportions are very, very different than you think they are. Every time I grid something out, I end up saying to myself, "No, that line can't be that short (or long, or whatever)!" but yes. Yes, it is. And getting used to looking at where the edges of shapes intersect the lines on the grid, will help train your eye to see shapes in relationship to each other.

About the prompt, House did find out, in canon, and confront Wilson about what he'd done. He was hurt and angry, yes, but he left Wilson's office and just let Wilson stew in his guilt. House didn't even punch Wilson after "Finding Judas," later on, so ... it might take some doing for me to get that to happen and feel in character. I'll think about it.

Thanks!

I'll have to try using the grid again. I've used them before but I've little patience for them. In my current art class however, we've been using the grid system a lot so it's getting a little easier. Which season is "Finding Judas" in? (isn't there an episode where Wilson does get punched? I've seen pics with Wilson having a bloody nose).

Thanks for taking a look at it at least.

I had a whole lengthy reply and then LJ wouldn't let me post it or even copy the text to paste in here. That's the third long reply I've lost tonight; I'm giving up until tomorrow! But I can tell you that the scene where House punches Wilson doesn't actually happen. House dreams it. The thought is in his mind, then, but on the show he never does it.

But now you've given me a challenge, so I'll keep it simmering. I may not be able to convince myself House would punch Wilson over the Detox thing, but I am sure I could think of some kind of scenario where he would.
