Description I tell you things, you tell me things.
Not about this case, though, about yourself.
Quid pro quo, yes or no?

Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter.

One of the top movie villains, with a mesmerising performance from Anthony Hopkins, who manages to be scary despite barely moving, and speaking almost in a monotone with that distinctive voice.

I rarely do such a blatant caricature, and this is fairly detailed by my standards. The artefacts on his wall aren't movie accurate, just things that point toward his character

why you' ve put a da vinci in the backgound, it isn' t mirrored, so it must be in the background, right?
It goes good with it, but I don' t know why

In the movie his cell walls are covered in artefacts, so I put four things which suggest his character/preferences - a newspaper cutting from the case, some classical music, a recipe and some fine art The text is mirrored in the cutting because I made it myself and the article is about something else entirely, so if someone read it they'd realise it was about sports or whatever XD
Anyway you are the first to notice or ask, so thank you

You are very kind
There were movie accurate breathing holes in the glass, but they're not really visible here
Anyway, thanks again, I'm glad you like it

You definitely did an awesome job with it! And it definitely looks like Lecter! Caricatures and likenesses are SCARY to do, I have to do one of Peter Venkman for someone soon and its making me shake in my little booties

Thank you, and I know what you mean, I started a Ghostbusters pic, but the Bill Murray likeness is tricky He looked old when he was young

Thank you kindly, this is a rare example of me using reference material (just a little..), and I may do some more caricature stuff in future Hopkins' lined eyes are very distinctive in that film, so I tried to make them a feature here

Yes that's exactly what he says next
I did rewatch the movies, and sketched the first version of this based on Lecter's first appearance in Silence But of course you knew that

You did a fantastic job on this, as I knew you would.
You should make another one of his Jail Break....

Actually, as I was doing this, I was thinking exactly that With the spattered blood and his relaxed,blissful expression I mean.
Hopkins has a very interesting face, he has a vertical crease above his left eyebrow I just had to include here It is much more obvious in Hannibal/Red Dragon.

Jackolyn In reply to memorypalace [2010-08-09 00:19:24 +0000 UTC]

Well now you have to do it!

And I've always wondered what was up with that crease, when I was drawing my picture I never thought anything of it, but then I re-watched the series again and I couldn't stop thinking about it.
By the way, I've been debating weather or not to watch Manhunter, but I'm not too sure about it because Anthony isn't in it...(and I don't want to make the same mistake I did by watching Hannibal Rising)
So...is it any good?

memorypalace In reply to Jackolyn [2010-08-09 11:33:03 +0000 UTC]

Well once you get past the extreme 1980's styles (not just the clothes, the whole look of the film), it's basically a less grubby version of Red Dragon, but with a shorter ending and much less Lecter (spelt Lektor ) The Tooth Fairy character is less developed, also.
Brian Cox is actually much closer to the Lecter of the books (Hopkins made him much more intimidating) and has his own creepy laid back vibe. It's worth seeing, but here Lecter is definitely a secondary character to the story.

Jackolyn In reply to memorypalace [2010-08-09 16:06:06 +0000 UTC]

Ya, I watched Red Dragon and didn't mind the story, but I was dissapointed that Hopkins wasn't in it as much as I had hoped. But I will deffinatly have to watch this one just to give it a shot.
(And I think I might be able to handle the 80's vibe. After watching all of the 'A Nightmare on Elm Street's, I think I can handle cheesey 80's stuff...)

memorypalace In reply to Jackolyn [2010-08-09 21:48:10 +0000 UTC]

Well it's not so much the cheesiness, more that everything is so clean and spotless, with lots of blue light etc It doesn't really fit with Silence like Red Dragon does. It's a perfectly good film, on a par with Red Dragon, just very dated now

Good job with animating his features, they are the frosting on the cake of his character.

Thank you so much I rarely add this much detail to faces, but his lined features are a part of his character, In think
