Thanks shell =)

This is amazing! Looks like you can actually feel roughness of the skin! Darn, you're good!:))

Thanks, l&c! I've perfected it just a tad by using the smudge, dodge & burn tools =) So fun!

it looks like a bronze sculpture

I can see that, dave =) I love all the tiny images that appear in this sort of texture too...I SO want to take that part of this techique further!

Wow, very nice did you have a ref ?

Thanks, Pantera. Yes I started with a ref but it was very 'general' in how I followed it...then I just took off from there.. =)

With or without a ref this is just incredible, all of your work is very impressive, thank you for sharing it with all of us :)

Wow, he looks like he's made of tortiseshell! Those eyes seem to have a lot behind them. Very nice portrait. :)

Thanks, sunny! Ya, I wonder what kind of stories this guy would tell if he could??

I don't know what he would tell, but he gives me the willys, like he came up from the ground. I keep looking at him lol ><

he's made out of chewed up tootsie rolls..:D

melting, burnt tootsie rolls...lol!

lol...

Awesome pic!! He reminds me somewhat of that old man that went by the name of "Ayatollah".....I think he was from Afghanistan, or some weird country like that.....anyways....awesome draw!! :)
