What if everything that exists is fragmentary, incomplete, aborted, events with ends but no beginnings with us constantly making categories, seeking out, and reconstructing, until we think we can see total love, betrayal and defeat, although in reality we are all no more than haphazard fractions. The mind, for its own self-preservation, finds and integrates scattered fragments. Using religion and philosophy as the cement, we perpetualy collect and assemble all the garbage comprised by statistics in order to make sense out of things, to make everything respond in one unified voice like a bell chiming to our glory.

That's really rather neat. I like the styling of it quite a lot. Nice detail too.

I assume you used a tablet...

I don't really like it. I mean, I like the style, it's just so out of proportion..

I was assuming the proportions were intentional, and in turn, would be relevant of the "style" of the piece.

For a caricature, looks really great. The only thing that bothers me is all the white on the right. It just seems out of place. Other than that - good job.

If it's from a reference, then I can only assume it was a photo reference. If so, then your perspective is bad. The coloring, shading, and details are pretty good, just work on perspective.

I do photoshop paintings alot too, it's good times. Have any other work you can post?

note: the perspective isn't even that bad, the nose and left eye (his left) blend though and it creates the illusion that the perspective is much worse than it probably is. Try touching up that area with a little more detail it should help alot (and also along the right [his] edge of his nose)

The white on the right side does seem out of place...perhaps a gray instead?

Wow, alot more feedback then I expected.

[Bill]

Indeed I did use a tablet that I just bought on this peice, still trying to get used to it.


[Compos Mentis]

I darkened the outline of sam's nose so that you can actually make it out alot easier now as you suggested. Alot of the image has been crapified do to the heavy amount of jpeg compression I used to shrink the filesize down. [ :( <=56k]

here's a self portrait I've done. link

[Emon/Koobie]

The grey looks much better.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Yeah, but is the perspective intentional? If it's not: Say it is.
