Description
Done as a sample for XXL mag. Wanted to try drawing some MC's in this sort of style, but I dont think its quite what they were looking for. I dont particularly think I caught his likeness either. I dont hink charicatures are really my strongest point.Colours were done by me on this one....Since doing this I have refined my 'cell shaded' colouring style alot further, and I will post examples of this later on this month.....

Hi there,
My name is amittai and I'm a motion designer. I really like your work and I like this illustration of method man. I animated it and put it on my instagram for fun. I gave you credit in the description. Keep up the good work. What is your Instagram so I can tag you in the description. I only put your name (Red-J) in the description for now.

I love what you did with Mef...I remember when he did that cover for XXL with the Wu back around 2001. I seen him twice with Redman out here in San Diego. Maybe you can do one for me in the future?

i dunno J. i would have known it was Mef whether you said it was or not. the clothes, the look, the ring, everything, its him man. i think you hit it alright, tho i can see a "tough guy rapper mag" like XXL not really feeling it - they just closed minded or something. this is great stuff. i think the colours were handled damn well too. is there anything you cant do?

TICAL!!!!! I like the image a whole lot the clothes are spot on. Meth always gets gaught wearing joints like that. As for the likeness its one of those "If-You-Tell-Me-Who-It-Is" kinda pics. where I see the Likeness once you say the name. Primo shit regardless.

hahahaha...man...I just stared at your avatar for waaaaaay too long. It was a mesmerising loop. I was hypnotised.... *ahem*
yeah...I gotta agree with you on the "once you say who it is" comment. I know I can do better likenesses, but for that assignment I felt like being stubborn and doing it that way. no big deal...

Yeah... I get the avatar thing alot. I find myself staring too. wasting anywhere from 2 - 15 minutes. Keep posting tho man. I'm learning alot from your lines. I'm the kind of person that Analyzes WHY I like something. Seeing your art helps me inmprove mine if that makes any sense. Do you have anywhere all of us that want to see some of your previous art can go?
