Description This will be my entry for the 'Drawn to a moment' contest: link

Update: I got the first place! Thank you very much!

I used this picture as reference: link

Yay, it's finished! I had to draw quickly, because there are some changes in my life to come and I won't have much time in the next few weeks. But I'm very happy with the result

This is a scene from the movie 'Terminator Salvation'. Be aware that there are some spoiler in my (unfortunately very long) description:

In this scene John Connor (leader of the resistance) and Marcus Wright (cyborg) meet for the first time and it doesn't go very well.
I've watched the movie with two guys and both of them had trouble to tell them apart. That's why I started thinking about the resemblance.
I've heard Christian Bale was supposed to play Marcus, but was more interested in the part of Connor, so he got that role while Sam Worthington was offered the role of Marcus. That may be the reason why both of them look so similar. But for me (as a big Terminator fan) it was something more. In the beginning of Terminator 2 you can see adult John Connor planning the war, moving like a machine. I'm pretty sure that I've read or heard somewhere that this acting was on purpose, because it showed he had to be as strong and uncompromising as the machines to become such a successful leader.
So for me the resemblance is kind of a foreshadowing, even if it was unintentional. That's even more interesting in the context of the Terminator Salvation, because in this movie John tries to convince people not to attack Skynet and killing people while doing so, saying that would mean they would become as bad as the machines. But with the knowledge we have about the future in Terminator 2 someone might think that one day he will see something so horrible he loses his human touch.

The title is a quote from the movie Julius Caesar (2002) which has nothing to do with Terminator, I just think it's a good title for this picture

Bale and Worthington are possibly the two most beautiful actors I've ever seen... to see them both at the same time like this is almost too much to handle, lol

I can't take it!

yeah, this is awesome. il like to do this kind of works too, so i know how much time and dedication they need ( and I have really little free time, so i can't even make so much of them). I'm actually working on a realistic portrait of brandon lee and i don't know when i will finish, since i don't even remember how much time I've already spent on it

Also echt, ich stolper jetzt schon zum x-ten mal ΓΌber dieses Meisterwerk und habe es bisher weder gefaved noch kommentiert.
Da muss ich mal was dran Γ€ndern

Die ganzen Texturen sehen absolut hammer aus, die Haut ist einfach nur genial!!
Ich liebe wie das Licht die Gesichter beleuchtet. Besonders bei dem rechten Auge ist das richtig gut gelungen genauso wie bei dem Mund und den ZΓ€hnen. Auch Respekt fΓΌr den Bart bei dem linken, um den mund rum sieht das wahnsinnig gut aus.
