Description
Columnist Andrew Sullivan, on his blog for The Nation magazine, wrote that he grieved for Jackson "but I also grieve for the culture that created and destroyed him.""That culture is ours, and it is a lethal and brutal one: With fame and celebrity as its core values, with money as its sole motive, it chewed this child up and spat him out," Sullivan wrote. "I hope he has the peace now he never had in his life. And I pray that such genius will not be so abused again."

that's very true...i only meant to borrow the pose and the look on his face when i used the reference photo. I'm glad you still think it looks like him

I think that eyes could be sharper as the jacket and hair at some places are. But other than that it's a great tribute

perhaps. i'd love to have given his eyes more details, but the quality of the reference photo that I used was so poor, I mean it was so grainy, that is was almost impossible for me to see when the lines stopped and the shading started...which is not really an excuse...but anyways, thanx for comment

But other than that, this looks amazing! :3
