Description I actually like this one. It's semi-old and brand new. ^-^ I painted the original picture in painting class and fixed it in Photoshop yesterday. I redid his right eye cuz it was so flipp'n horrible. It took foever with a mouse! It's times like these that I seriously consider sending in an order for a Wacom tablet. (I want one so bad!)
As for the subject....I have no idea who this guy is. I assume he's a stylist or fashion designer or something because I clipped him out of a Vogue or some such magazine. I don't know. I thought it would look cool so I hijacked his likeness.

Hehehehe why thank you I suppose. ^^
Paint Shop kinda did most of the cool stuff without my knowing and I was like, "Well, ok then."

hey, I remember this guy! I always did like him, and now I like him even more. =] I like the little touches you added with Photoshop. It spruced him up a bit, but you didn't take away from the original painting. I think my favorite part...is the line of the cheekbone leading up to that glorious hair.

I remember that your orange lady had a great ten-finger-flying-bird pose. ^^
I'm glad you like him too. Really wish I knew who he was XD "Glorious hair"-my, how flattering! Thank you very much.

you're welcome. ^^ You should totally track him down. Print out a bunch of copies of your painting and paste it all over the streets and the net: Have you seen this man? If so call xxx-xxx-xxxx.

hehe thank you. Yeah this was already painted and I just modified it. Unfortunately I couldn't scrap the lines without affecting too much othe the surrounding area. and I didn't even bother with the eyes cuz I liked the way they pop (even though it's for a bad reason, they only pop cuz they're so much more cartooney than the rest.) Thanks a ton for the critique!
