Description
Long time no see! How about viewing my site? 2D Forever(Actual title 'Léon', seeing as you can't do accents)
This was my first piece for the rather excellent Score Magazine.
In a nice change of pace I got to draw something film related, rather than my usual one-after-another game related pieces. The illustration was for an article on anti-heroes so I chose Léon, (from the film 'Léon, The Professional") as my choice of anti-hero...
Mostly because the art-editor described it as 'Léon - the greatest', which I think may of been a subtle hint.
As for the piece, it's clearly just a slightly (but only slightly) exaggerated portrait of Jean Reno in his Léon cameo. In true form to the film he had to be creeping out of the shadows -- with his characteristic glasses and snazzy braces.
Apart from that, a quick apology over the lack of images as of late. Many things all happened at once leaving little time for drawing. Thankfully The Score Magazine gave me a reason to draw during a busy time. But I think it's helped me back on the drawing track, so expect more... sometime. Whinge whinge whinge.

It's a drawing of the actor Jean Reno. His big nose is one of his key characteristics

I love this, it's an immediate FAVORITE. And yes, it's a PERFECT Jean Reno as everyone says it is.
Also, I could ever forget Leon and Mathilda in the The Professional, on of my favorite movies. Mike.

This looks great! I don't know if you've heard of Madness Combat, but in the 5th episode of the series, the main character's appearance is based on the costume Leon wears in the movie, with the coat, the hat, and the glasses. [link]

Highly recommend watching Leon. It's quite short, but very sweet.

I think he needs his hat, and perhaps a glass of milk would be more Leon than a gun... oddly, eventhough he is a cleaner!

Dammit, I love this movie, and your interpretation of him, though caricature, is spot on. Wonderful work.
