Description
Hey everyone.After a few attempts, I've finally gotten Chase to look the way he's supposed to. Before he either looked too young, or... Hawaiin? I dunno.
But in any case, I did a few things different this time around. I took 's advice and started playing around with different layer blending styles. And finally painted someone from the Damage Control crew in an indoor setting (everyone thus far has been in the woods)
And I did stubble! It's all about little victories
Just for funsies, here's the original sketch [link]
All comments and crits are welcome.
**edit**
Fixed bridge of nose

Aww, I hope you feel better soon. 
There's been a flu going around here lately too (I just recently got over the cough, finally...)
I think he's supposed to have a pendant (but I think I also forgot to draw it in)
I'll be taking it up to try and fix it here in a bit
Thank you for all the support, I always look forward to hearing from you two. Get some rest dear. I hope you feel better

hehe i have done that many times. I put in space savers and then take them away and then forget to paint in what i intended and people say.. that looks wrong and i have to look and see what i missed.
I only seem to have a sore throat but I am having trouble swallowing anything even soup at the moment so its not fun at all. Thankyou for the well wishes
welcome for the help and keep bringing in the pieces, its nice to watch them

*Gropes shamelessy* I mean, er, um... Nice work...
No, no, no. Actually I mean in the words of Lena who is actually me pretending to be Lena thinking: I'll take two. Whatever you're selling, I want it. *smacks lips* Yes, yes indeed.
Good job dear! You finally got the Chase to sit still long enough to translate onto the puter screen. Quite a feat. I particularily love his eyes as they really pop and the stubble. Also, you learned how to draw strong faces which really helped you capture this. Background is awesome, right down to the bass cliff detail on his screen (which is described in the novel). Zipper track looks good. Just missing the zip to use. Nice work dud, nice work.

Well, I DID model him after myself, but I had to draw in some flaws cuz no one would believe such a perfect face could exist in the real world. Aww, such is the curse I bear.

Gotta be honest, I think this is your best work. It really DOES have all the right things to make up a good image. I especially love the lighting effects. If that's a development of the layer effects then I hope you continue to use those

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.
I really feel like this one came out better than I expected it to. The lighting was just done with gradients and overlay, then erased on parts where I didn't want the light to show, other than that it was mostly a dark BG color to begin with.

You just keep on impressing mate. Excellent work on...well...everything. It's got all the things I love in pics - a good composition with elements of character development and story along with little details down to his PC username. Grade A on all fronts

Thank you, i'm glad that you like it. I was going through painting Chase the entire time and panicking on what to do for a BG, as I was using blue lighting the whole time, and his room is dark red.
But when Amber mentioned a pc screen, it all fell together
I went ahead and edited his nose, does it look better this way?
I realize now that I've been drawing the triangle upside down the WHOLE time >_< Thanks for pointing that out
And ty for

yeah the nose is muuuuch better now matey. Noses are bloody hard to draw and paint as they have normally don't have any sharp edges and so you have to rely on the shadows they cast and the bright specular light they recieve to define the shape. The best way to understand the blob in the middle of our faces is to grab a mirror, a lightsource, and move the light around while looking in the mirror, noting where sshadows fall around the nostrils and on the opposite side of our faces. Keep up the awesome work dude, it's fantastic to see your artistic development

Yeah I really should get a small mirror (or steal Amber's I dunno) Again, thank you for all the support ^_^
