Another digital painting for you. This one was created in Inkscape and photoshop, using various brushes and textures.

 

Have you seen the movie "Perfume - the story of a murderer"? Ooh it's a bit of a corker I must say. For anyone into visuals and lets be honest we all are on this site, it is a must see. It is a visual delight and feels as though the film was made with it's visual impact as the primary driving force. The music is also top notch and combined with the cinematography, it's any movie lovers dream. The story is about a young man with an extraordinary sense of smell. After being captivated by the smell of a young woman he starts on a journey to discover how to capture the smell of everything. As the title suggests this leads to him learning the trade of a perfumer and to murder.

 

Without the invention of smellavision, the director has used visual and audio to transfer to us, what the nose can not pick up. The ending goes a little too far and has the feel of a fairytale to it, which isn't really in keeping with the rest of the film but the story was originally a book so I can imagine that it was very hard to transfer this part. If you can put this aside and just concentrate on the feast laid out before your eyes and ears then you are in for a real treat.

 

It is not very often that I watch a film and then want to watch it again straight away but I am already planning to watch it again this evening. So that should say something to you. Go and rent it out or (ahem) download it ;o)
