Description
This is a pen and ink drawing for 's "traditional media male portraits" contest. I actually didn't plan on entering, but threw down the guantlet, challenging me to draw a Forrest Griffin to go up against his ultra-badass portrait of Quentin "Rampage" Jackson (check it out!! [link] ). Being a huge Griffin fan, I had no choice but to comply
I'm pretty proud of it, but I think in the battle of the drawings, Rampage puts the beatdown on poor Forrest.

I have no idea who this guy is, but he looks like a boxer
this has a graphic novel look to it.

He's a UFC fighter. The photo that I drew the pic from [link] was taken just after a huge fight, so his face was just battered.
I guess that the comic book influence is so dominant in my drawing that it shows no matter what. Thanks

Great art here! Eyes look a tad weird to me for some reason, but it's way better than anything I could ever draw! Great job!
Can't wait to see his fight with Rampage. IMO I think he'll lose. Think about it, Rampage beat Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell not once, but TWICE.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Honestly, I think he'll lose as well. I'm still rooting for him, though
His eyes were originally kinda crooked, so I staightened 'em out in Phototshop. The alignment is still a little funny
Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, it's always cool to see the underdog come back.

Wow, Griffin looks pretty effed up. 
Love the classic Griffin ears too.

I think the photo that I took the drawing from was taken after the Griffen/Bonner fight, and I always thought it was so cool that he was grinning after a war like that. I don't think he's got the skills or the KO power to take out rampage, but I'll be pulling for him anyway.

great work! i like the combo betwin real and comic portrait
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Comics and toons are so ingrained into my drawing style, I can't shed the influence even when I try.

Nice ^^ It's quite an interesting portrait style. I can't say if it's kinda toon or realistic, looks great

Y'know, the eyes are a bit oversized, aren't they? I haven't been an animephile since high school, but the influence still shows loud and clear.

Awesome mate. I really like the sketchy shading. You captured him well.
Maybe I should draw Kimbo Slice heheh.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hell yeah! Kimbo's one bad mofo! I heard a rumor that he was going to fight Mike Tyson in an MMA fight, but I don't know how valid that is.

He scares me heheh. he's like a tank! Have you seen that vid on youtube where he fights a guy in his garden and me makes his face look like burger meat! He's one tough guy heheh.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I saw that! The guys eye socket was, like, shattered! Have you seen any of his MMA fights? He went and got some real fight training, and now he's twice as scary!

I saw a little of the UFC tight thing. We don't get them over here so I saw it online. I'll check it out.

I admire the fact he looks so kind after he's had a beating! o_O
Love the trad art man.

He's always cracking jokes, even when he's bruised and bleeding. You have to like a guy with that kind of spirit.

It's also good to see his brain's not damaged yet... <_<
