pretty sick man, the only thing i dont like about it is how his fro is mostly one solid shape, it makes it look kinda flattened. really like how you outline them though.

Yeah I might go back in and add a little more texture to it... I tried to stylize it to separate it from the rest of the image, but it wasn't as effective as I wanted it to be.

quick question.. how long does it take you to create stuff like this from scratch? do you place a photo on the lowest layer and then draw over it, or what's the deal?
it's just that you keep churning out incredibly detailed and realistic vectors one after another, and i'm in awe of your talent..
though now that i look closely, do you think his 'fro could use a bit more detail?
other than that, stupendous piece, as always.. props..

I drew this out in pencil first, scanned it in and just did all the coloring on layers underneath the layer the pencils were on in Photoshop. So it's not a vector. I wanted to sort of leave the fro more stylized to separate from the realistic person, you know?

Thanks so much! It's all charming at first, then it gets lazy, doesn't take out the trash, doesn't put the seat down...

Yeah, after reading it, I really didn't get it either. Sorry 'bout that... Another failed joke I guess.
