I had a homework assignment for my figure painting class to paint either two eyes, two noses, and two mouths or to just do a head study.
Anyone who looks at my gallery once can probably tell that I have a love for portraits (and that I should probably draw/paint something else so my gallery isn't so boring T_T), so I just went with the head study option.
I have a folder on my computer filled with faces and people in beautiful poses and what not just for inspiration/reference and I decided to paint a model named Matthias Streitwieser: [link]
For a while I kept wondering why it was so hard for me to find more pictures of this guy other then the few I have saved in my Inspiration Folder. Then I found out yesterday that this model died very recently. How sad.
Thanks! I actually found this model because of that one painting you made way back in the day and ended up wanting to turn him into all sorts of characters because of how striking he looked.
It's really sad that the model is no longer alive.

"Oh. Well, in that case, I was an evil god in the first Black And White."
I think he died in a climbing accident. I kept wondering why I could not find anymore pictures of him on the internet and then stumbled upon a Facebook page in memory of him:
"The shocking news reached us suddenly: Our dear friend probably died on Monday, 1st of June, on a mountain-tour near Salzburg and Berchtesgaden. He was alone on his way to the top of Untersberg, when he must have slipped and fell over 150 meters into a ravine - police say he was killed instantly and did not suffer any pain after the fall. His body was found by hikers. Family and friends were in deep shock.
We know from reliable sources that he was full of energy and hope for the future. He was happy to be home again seeing all his friends after returning from a three month period in Asia. Actually, he planned to settle down long-term having his own family and kids. He wanted to start a career as a teacher."

I am so sorry for him... it's such a shame when they are so young.
