Description
This is something I've wanted to do for a while, which was to render an elderly person, because I never have before. Surprisingly, I found it a lot easier than I had thought it would be, mainly because you don't have to be as subtle with the tones, especially when the skin is more weathered like the subject I chose. I rocked the usual technique; flat shapes and some subtle gradients in the background elements. I used three colors (the same from the Madlib joint) and used the value sliders to adjust them.The Chinese characters in the corner say "Truth" in Romanized Mandarin (I hope). This man looks like he has lived a long and experience-driven life. Thus the title.

The images of the older man are really cool... They may be a little over-ambitious for my schedule right now though, but if I were to get some time, I think those would be really fun to render.

fabulous work... is this from a reference? 'cause the character looks very real, in his attire (modern) + expression (has that old chinese movie look)... mighty good job!

Yes I used a reference photo, I re-drew it in vector and just tried to put all sorts of personal spin on it.

The texturing on the features turned out really well on this. I feel that you could've used a stronger contrast between the man and the background to better bring out those features, but it's pretty good in general.

Yeah I see that, I wanted to restrict my palette a bit, but I could have tweaked it up a little.
