this is awesome.

This worked out pretty good kristine. I like the transparency of the sunglass lens and the hair looks good too. You should do more of these.

thanks :) hes pretty cool. he has the funniest canadien accent ever :P

I'm not envious. the man has obviously spent a great deal of time investing in a skill that doesn't impress me much. time that could have been spent playing video games.

agreed. why would you want to (for example) pay someone to do a portrait of you that looks EXACTLY like a photo. you have the photo..it just doesnt make sense. i guess it would be cool if the subjects were original and he made them look photo realistic, but meh. my opinion.

Well, to me, it's not so much a matter of paying him to do a portrait for me, but rather the fact he's perfected his realism to that level is amazing. Most people attempt realism and end up with something that doesn't look exactly photorealistic because they don't have the overall 'skills' to master it as this guy has. I dunno, I still think it's good to have that ability up your sleeve anyway for an artist. It's one of the basics you study in art anyway. If you think about it, it's not all about the realism either. You don't learn realism just to do realism. It's stuff like learning to pick up on forms and colors that actually help you as an artist in the future when say, you work from references or just getting a general idea of shapes of things so that you don't really even need a reference to draw something well (like if you were drawing a robot and wanted to make him metallic, and you know how the texture might look).

THERE YOU GO. I was scratching my brain for that name. Warhol. :D <3

not so much warhol as roy lichtenstein, I'd say.

thanks guys (and gals)

for some reason he reminds me of a bug. Haha.

Yeah you'll definitely like it once you play around with the tools Zep. It takes some feeling around I think. I still need to do that lol I think Cindy said the blender tool was down somewhere where you choose the brushes. I dunno though, I forgot about that til now, have yet ta use it.

Hola gil! Puta que me costó pillarte. Meh! ZEP se me iba a ocurrir!

It's just that there has been a LOT of it lately. That's all.

Attractive and alot of attitude

Looks like eminem's wimpy cousin.. great job

Actually that's the way ancient aztecas represented talking. Two of them, one above the other represented singing :)
But the las breath escaping is a nice idea x)
