I kept seeing Scott Baccula while I was drawing it. And every time I worked on the nose, I'd see Daniel Day Lewis. I can see the Nigel Havers, though, for sure.
I agree with you "MissDj".....if you are referring to the movie "Samson and Delilah".....where Victor Mature played the part of Samson.....this pic really does look like him.....:)
It's kinda Samson Iconographic imagery I guess. :-) Zep was here but I don't think he saw it. I wonder what he would have to say about being Samsonized.
CONGRATULATIONS: 1ST PLACE
So, you got 1st place as well! Both your portraits were fabulous! lovely colors and its great to see how people looked in your head.
Nice job!
Thanks all for your kind words. I'm entirely astonished that I placed in this contest, there were so many great entries. Lori, why would you be 'sorry' that Zep looks better than I imagine him to look? Besides loving Zep's work I wanted to draw a picture manifesting my mental image of a perceived personality--generous, kind, beneficent...one who would never go out of his way to say something mean-spirited to another artist. From the way he has always presented himself here, that's how I imagine him.

I guessed it to be Deino, but I think that's because I've seen a picture of him somewhere.
