Description
To explain this first, they are both the SAME person. On the left is a teenager Dominic, and on the right is a 28 year old Dominic (what he is now). He aged fast and kinda hard, and I mostly just wanted to compare the two cos I tried to get them to look like the same person but...different. I'm confusing. His personality changed a bit too - but you can't really see that in the picture here. Well sooort of. He wears stuffy clothes now.When he was young he was a lot more outgoing and social, and typically got along with people well, even if he had a somewhat crude and dark sense of humor. Now he still has the same sense of humor, but there's less of a buffer. He started caring less and less what people thought about him and now he's just sometimes downright abrasive. Dominic will not sugarcoat things. If you did something stupid, even if he loves you to pieces, he will tell you you were stupid. And he might even hit you, depending on what you did. But he is just as harsh on himself as he can sometimes be on other people, and suffers from guilt a lot.
Anyways, so basically this was kind of just a test doodle to see if I could portray both ages okay. And it turned into this. So you get mirror Dominics! Aren't you lucky. Kept the colors simple cos when I tried to get complex something looked stupid. So I didn't. That and I'm kind of lazy too.
Also, I realize the perspective is wonky at best, buuuuut I had putzed around with it enough and here it is. So many apologies for that. Squint and maybe it'll be okay.
Just a simple, goofy picture, because I love to draw Dominic a lot. I was feeling really low in the dumps and drawing him is somewhat theraputic for me. So hurrah! Enjoy.

I love the personality bio and the picture itself. Dominic is just so...charismatic?...I don't know...he's hot though. I don't know what it is. It's the gray stripes isn't it. Yeah, that's it. I wish I was hot like that. The the girls would be all over me. *Not that they already aren't.* Oh, well. I love the perspective. Great job.

Bah. Dom is such a wickedly cool character. (He always says the funniest things) and I just love his various facial expressions..
Its really neat to see the changes heβs gone through physically and mentally over the years! *O* Yumyum..
Also, on another note.. Iβm surprised this picture hasnβt gotten more comments! (And.. Whatβs stranger yet is that thereβs only 9 comments recorded.. Where there are a bit moreβ¦ Hmm. I wonder if itβll change when I post this comment.. |:

Oh, so they will be explained? It says in his bio thing on the site that he's a pilot or something...not exactly a job that'd give someone all those scars XD
By the way, I absolutely LOVE your guys' comic. :3

lovely concept and colors.
The angle is one of my favorite elements
of this illustration. Nice job on making
a convincing older version of him although
i just thought it was his father or something.

Wow the perspective here is really well done and interesting. So did something happen to make him care less about what people thought of him? I really like his face and your style of drawing people. Very refreshing and expressive. The colours are a good mix, orange and grey isn't a combination you see a lot, but it really drew me to it.
I don't think his clothes are stuffy! And as a lot of people have said, he has a lot of oldish-guy charm so I don't think he should worry to much about the hair.

traviswellstone [2007-02-14 20:25:40 +0000 UTC]
teen dom looks fine if he's late teens but if you want him to look younger, maybe soften his jawline/chin or even give him more cheek and or rounder shoulders? either that or make older dom with more brow-ridge/jawline/chin/bigger shoulders etc. but that might make him look too bulky and macho rather than handsome and lithe. i like how dom seems to have lost a little weight (shed his babyfat) or something but he seems very skinny as an adult...i think the look is really sexy but if you want to make him look older you might want to make him "thicker" (not necesarily fatter)
but seriously, either way he looks hot. i love the comparison between the two and the symmetry and everything.

Thanks! That was really helpful and I'll keep those all in mind. I don't want him to be too macho, so I might just tone down some of teen Dom's features next time. Thanks a bunch!
And I'm glad you like him. x)

I like that lots. I don't know why exactly but he looks kinda French... I think it might be because he looks Jean Renaud-ish, only cuter. Those little X's and lines everywhere are just the best thing to ever exist on drawings. Like OMFG, he has SCARS ON HIS PANTS!!11one

I love how different he looks in the ages yet you can still really really tell it's the same ol' guy.
He's got a really nice posture, it says alot for his character, it definately suits the kinda "unimpressed/I don't like you" look he has when he's older, but still fits the kind of carefree looking young one.
I have to say he's one of my favorite characters of yours to see pop up in my inbox, I like them all but something about him really sticks out to me. Probably that "older looking guy" charm. ;3
One last thing, I like the color scheme you picked for this, it's really pleasing.

I think you pulled it off spectacularly. The similarity yet obvious differance between them is great.
