Description Voila! My first real commission, this one for .
Edward Norton, as "Jack" from Fight Club.

I tried a new trick with the blood, so I hope it looks all right.
I made the damn thing wayyy too big at first, so it was impossible to get in all the little details... then I resized it, and it's still huge! (This is only about half the size right here.)
His nose was a real pain in the arse, as with the band-aid I added on a whim. D:

+The GIMP and computer mouse.
+ ? hrs. I started and stopped frequently. Probably around 15-20 though.
+Ref used from Google.

the shadowing is perfect. and the perspective is great too. everything looks in proportion.
except the band aid. it seem's alittle flatly colored and maybe alittle too bold with how thick the line around it is in contrast to the rest of his body. i don't know. it's hard to place what it is, but it's that thing that keeps me from faving it.

Snapperz In reply to Sh4d0wW4lk3r [2008-07-13 20:27:52 +0000 UTC]

I agree, but I don't plan on changing anything. It wouldn't be fair since I've already given it to the commissioner.
Thanks. <3

this is incredible! everything looks perfect to me, but especially the eyes. they're gleaming
I love your style - amazingly realistic on the shading, and yet the drawing is unique to you. Great work!

Snapperz In reply to Stellaciel [2008-07-12 21:52:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!! That means a lot. It's terribly difficult to approach realism with a 'unique' style.

msklystron [2008-07-12 05:38:50 +0000 UTC]

Nicely done! I like the band-aid.

I just saw Edward Norton in The latest version of the Hulk. I wanted to see it because some scenes were shot/ created in Toronto, including a few shot in the ravine close to my house (walking distance). Mr. Norton has a difficult nose, but you captured it very well.

Oh really? That I did not know. How was the movie all around? 8D

msklystron In reply to Snapperz [2008-07-12 17:15:34 +0000 UTC]

Best Hulk ever! But the Hulk thing has been overdone. This movie is going to link up with Iron Man, because Stark appeared at the end. You might want to see it for that reason alone. Also look for scenes on Yonge street and some of the forest/water scenes were done in my hood. They fancied up the ravine with CGI (adding water falls).

Snapperz In reply to msklystron [2008-07-12 17:20:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeyyyy, Tony!! I do want to see it just for that now.
I hear it had some good action in it, unlike the last attempt.

msklystron In reply to Snapperz [2008-07-12 17:36:56 +0000 UTC]

A lot of cars and buildings got wrecked, people were tossed around like ragdolls, stuff was either on fire or blowing up, a ton of ammo bounced off the hero and there was some bad-ass fighting.

We have the same rules, but for bowls club (I secretly want to be a 70 year old already).

Awesome work. Sounds weird but I'm loving the sideburn fuzz, fantastic attention to detail, really brings the piece to life for me

Snapperz In reply to ringofscars [2008-07-12 04:27:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much!!
And not weird at all by my standards. That's the biggest compliment you can give a sideburns fetishist! ( <-- See, that was weird.)

It was more of general Edward Norton commission...but in any one of his movie themes. American History X would have been just as good. xD

Nah, it didn't. Feedback's good -- I just don't count on making any changes on it since I've already sent it off to the commissioner. It wouldn't be fair if I did.

The second rule is, you DO NOT TALK about Fight Club.

Awesome job as always. The details you put into his hair, facial hair and eyebrows just blow me away.
I don't know where you get the patience!
