The price of imagination is fear Painting

I have recently been drawn to painting iconic characters and in film there is, in my opinion the standout figure of Hannibal Lecter played by Anthony Hopkins. I took inspiration from both the Silence of the lambs film where Hannibal is first viewed wearing his mask and Red dragon ,where he first appeared as a character although the original Lecter was portrayed by Brian Cox. I have some preliminary sketches of Cox but felt the image may have appeared confusing. I hoped to convey the menace that Lecter projected in the film and on first viewing my daughter said "creepy" even though she hasn't seen the films, I was pleased the feel came across. I often paint in acrylic as I feel it allows me the fluidity of watercolor while the strength of color that oil or gouache provide Lecter used hypnotism and suggestion in the films and my thoughts were in that space when creating this piece.
