Description
1st commissioned piece!I spent quite some time deciding how to put it all together. Wanted a singular focus on Ali that still impacts sufficiently. In the end I settled for conveying his rawness through saturated arbitrary colours, as well as exaggerating the contrast and frown lines. Hope this is a worthy tribute.
Reference: [link] for the colours and a b/w poster for the form.
-25+ hours
-Oil paint
-18"x24" Canvas Board

Very impressive! Traditional art, too. o.o I especially like the way the lighting looks on the right glove...something about it...really catches the eyes. Overall very intense.
