"LOL" "DaVinci"........that's funny. :D I used to watch the "Rifleman" all the time.....that's why when I first saw this draw.....it kinda shocked me, to see Chuck Connors looking at me....haha!! Did you use a "ref" pic for his eyes "DMV"??? :)

This does have a "clay" quality to it. A very malleable expression! :)

I love it....reminds me of a game called Facebreakers....really cool..and kinda cute I might add..

what are you on tonight tony?

The skin color is nice, I like the concept

pretty cool tony :)

Shi-shi-danna......what is that supposed to mean..."wow firecracker....just wow"????? Is it because I've never heard of Optimus Prime before?? There's probably millions of people out there who have never heard of him. If he's a character in a video game.....I've never played video games before. I'm from the "old world"...."lol". Thanks to "Bubbles" for providing that "link".....I now know what Optimus Prime looks like.....Thanks "Bubbles"!! :)

Is this the picture of prime you mentioned earlier ? I want to hug him C:

This is totally unique. Always a treat to see a new one from you

So pretty...I really like the strokes in it...

wow great work

Great finish!
edit:
I had to add more, lol. I really can't believe all the detail you put into this, because, seriously, if I tried to do that, I would kill myself. Detail is not my forte, lol.

This really grabbed my eye with all those colors and interesting details...I found myself studying every little nook and cranny! This deserves to be framed! (I'd gladly store it here on my wall for you too =)

I've been meaning to comment on this since I saw it some time after you first posted it, didn't do it just then and since have been too lazy to go looking for it when I was here, which isn't often anymore. Just now as it came up in the Showcase thumbnail strip I realized if I didn't do it now, I might never. You know I've always hated you because I'm so jealous of your talent, and loved you because you're so very real, which is rare. (and because you always inspired me to strive to do better)
This, I believe, is one of your best paintings, because as a self-portrait I see in that expression the Staci I think I've come to know and love/hate here. ;) Along with being absolutely perfect realism, you've done the impossible "capture the expression" thing... something that almost NEVER happens in a portrait. There's depth in those eyes, something fascinating behind them. Some people see that in the Mona Lisa and say that's why it's so upheld. (One major difference there is that I think she's ugly and you're beautiful, so... ONEUP on that one for sure... hah)

I've looked at this a lot of times and been blown away every time. I just now realized what I like about it most, the way you slightly exaggerated the things a camera does when the shot is a little overexposed and the flash is causing it. How the light shows the details in the skin in a way normal vision would never pick up on. And the corona of color around the iris. And the way the hues of the skin tones are uniformly off. It's a great painting of a 'bad' photograph. That and the killer cupid's bow mouth.

yes! you totally get it. this is a HORRIBLE picture, horrible. Bags, blotchy skin and all. if I had a zit that day I would have drawn it in as well. thanks!
