Mr. Darcy (Pride & Prejudice & Wrestling) WIP 3

This is kind of s weird lighting situation. A wrestling ring is normally very brightly lit and mostly from above. What that means in practice is that there are minimal shadows to work with to define the body’s forms and structures. I’ve tried to define Mr. Darcy well as I could, given this situation, but really, it’s the highlight here that are doing the heavy lifting.

Disclaimer aside, I do like how his musculature is represented here. He’s clearly defined, more defined that I would make a female character unless she was canonically ultra-ripped, but that’s how male wrestlers look. I’m honestly less worried about the forms of the body than I am the face. This is a piece that requires a lot of acting and all of that is going to come through in the face. I’m really sweating things like just the shape of his face and eyes. And the lighting isn’t helping.
