Triple Self Portrait

Parody of Norman Rockwell's Triple Self Portrait.

Yes, I know it's not really a self portrait because I am not Niko OneShot.

I've always liked this piece but never got around to making a parody of it until now. I don't think I managed to capture the humour & spirit of Rockwell's work but I still had fun! I wanted to mirror the narrative in the original where the painted bespectacled Rockwell was intended to be looking at the viewer, Rockwell himself, to use as reference for the canvas painting, but Niko looking at the "camera" worked for a different thematic reason because of the fourth-wall-breaking nature of OneShot. Happy accident!

I also didn't capture some of the funny details like the drink glass almost tipping over on the chair and the cigarette burning in the trash bin, and that is because Niko is a very safe and cautious child and would never leave things in such a condition.

The little mini paintings are a few characters from games that nightmargin cited as inspirations when creating OneShot, to match what was there in Rockwell's painting. Top to bottom: White Face from imscared, Madotsuki from Yume Nikki, Irisu from irisu Syndrome, and Embodiment of Spirit from Ib. Madotsuki is supposed to be in the pose of the Mona Lisa and Irisu the pose of Girl with a Pearl Earring, though I'm not sure how well that comes across, lol. (The leftmost drawing is just a poor rendition of the canvas portrait in Rockwell's original).

Did you read this far? Thanks! Have a progress gif and an alt with a portrait Niko who thinks it's time to fight crime.
