You would be right! Wow, you have a good eye for these things.
And thank you so much!

I was happy to see a Constantine who WASN'T Keanu Reeves.
And, if you were really being fan-geeky, you would have based your picture off Sting, like the creators based Constantine off him.
Great work, btw.

i've never seen comics constantine... i would like keanu, i think so ^^

Nice, glad you used the comic version, to me at least he's more John Constnatine than Reeves was, not that Reeves didn't give a good performance. I just like this version better. Good job.

Amen! It's *not* the half-ass Keanu version. Keanu as Constantine? 
π: 0 β©: 0
yeah. (i'm sorry, I read through a few of your comments) if his face a bit rounder he would look a lot less like keanu. and yes. that is how people think of him. It makes me extremely depressed. if you search John Constantine on this site, 3/4 atleast are of Keanu. It's gross. I like this though. It's from one of the few that wasn't drawn by Michael Fruccin, right????? lets see.... is it from Original Sins?

Unless I am mistaken, the ref pic you used is from Part one of The Books of Magic. I'm in the middle of reading it, I saw the panel and thought "Hmm, that looks familiar."
beautiful, beautiful piece, by the way. I miss traditional art...

YES. Man, you are good. I love that series. Thank you so much, also. There's something very appealing about traditional art (creating something from scratch that way often makes you love it more), though most of us try out digital.

I love the texture of this. Great colouring, I was curious to see what the original Constantine looked like.

I like. Far too few pictures of the /real/ John Constantine out there.

Doesn't look like Keanustine in the least, no worries. Um -- oh -- no, I do know! ... no I don't, I thought I had the picture you based this off of. I'm a bad fangirl.
Anyway, brilliant job. Hurrah for original!John fanart!

Ohhhhhh *dies*
Spooky, because I was checking out your gallery, whilst re-reading a Hellblazer fic I'd written (yeah, I'm sad, I know, but I couldn't remember what I'd written), and then there was this picture. I looooooove it! And it's so much better than my HB fanart!
Keep up the great work!

You have NO idea how freakin' happy I am seeing this pic. It's John Constantine! <3 The real one! Not Keanusteen! This is an awesome drawing. If only there was more Hellblazer artists out there!

Oh, Linn...
He's nothing short of spectacular! It's truly the original character.
Look at the smoke! I love it so!

It seems that you've used Marv (Sin City character) as a reference for the picture of yours.
Nice one.
How about drawing his ancestor? ^_^

The comic book version is the only real version, amen.
Your whole gallery is amazing, and you like a lot of the same stuff I do. Yay!

Tilda Swinton is really hard to dislike, I agree. I would've watched the movie for her alone.

HEART LOVE FAVE!!!
yay i'm so glad to see this. the movie was good i thought, but not nearly up to constantine standards. and keanu reeves was just the wrong guy for the job period.

Awesome job. Finally somebody knowing the original comic instead of the cheap blowoff. Really well done.

Brilliantly done! I adore this picture and all of your talent and artistic skills.

Man, whoever said this looks like Keanu Reeves is a dumb-ass. This looks nothing like him! >:F He looks wonderful and beautiful and since I can't, for the life of me, guess who you used as a reference, I'm just going to stare in glee over the originality of his character design.
:3
*loves all over the darling Lins and her mad style*

Contsantine the way he was meant to look. Blond, British--the anti-Neo. Awesome sketch. Looks like something from the Sean Phillips era.

YES! at least SOMEONE who appreciates Blonde John!!!

Ughhh I should know. I so should know.
Lovely work with the colored pencils ^__^
I lvoe all teh colors you pulled together to make flesh tones as well as the hint of BLue.
Also glad to know I'm not the only one inpired to draw him lately!

oh wow! it looks like one of the images from the sandman graphic novels

I love the textures. And the light; it absolutely makes it come alive.
He does have a bit of... you-know-who... ness, although it's hard to pin down--maybe something about the eyes, or nose?--and the more I look at it, the less he looks like... you know.
Now I almost feel like I was imagining it. Um.
I only recently got ahold of Highwater, so I'll have to pass on the image-guessing. (Not because of That Movie! Because of Sandman and Books of Magic. Ever since I saw him in those, I'd been meaning to get 'his' comics. Which was before the movie came out.)

I fucking LOVE when you use traditional mediums. The work always comes out so deliciously rich and gorgeous.

nice!!! love the sketchy style with the colored pencils.. it has a whole different kind of energy as opposed to blending. the warm color scheme on the sienna paper has an authentic feeling.
I've never read Constantine.. he looks like an interesting character.
π: 0 β©: 0
MEOW!!! it's awsome!!! really cool!!! looks a lot like him!!!
