Description
Hoi finally done, thought since the portrait would be in his old house, thought maybe it would be of him before he was vampire. And i went for the ole classical Victorian oil painting look. It is a pain in the ass to draw characters based off your own original pose. Went through soooo many pictures of Johnny Depp, the problem is he always has a mustache!I could really use the win. The term broke ass artist has never been more true. I would use probably 98% on my loans.... Haha Or was it starving artist.. no no cant be it. I just had an orange. Yeah broke ass artist.

Update, added some under eye shadow, after looking at the trailer a little more, even as a human Barnabas has dark bags. What the hell was i thinking.
Update, some adjustments to try and make it look more like baranabas expanded his jaw, lowered his right brow, and shrunk his eyes a bit. Hopefully it was enough...

Beautiful painting, great technique and lighting! Unfortunately, I think it doesn't have enough of the likeness of Johnny Depp as Barnabas.

I absolutely love it! If I'm giving feedback, I'd say make the jawline look a little deeper (since Johnny always looks like he's sucking on a lemon). I'd say darken the eyebrow to bring it closer to his eyes, but Johnny often wears a lot of make up so the eyebrows can already be changed in character costume. So that one can be overlooked. GREAT JOB!! This is fantastic!!

very stylish, and so very Johnny Depp - you must have researched a lot of him in his younger days

as a matter of fact i didnt at first, my uncle told me he looks too old. I had pronounced cheek bones on him, and strong brow wrinkles, but he pointed out, in the trailer, hez much younger looking. And much more a live. So i gave him more baby fats. Hahah,
