Description Edit: Mouth and basically lower half of face were adjusted. I don't know if anyone else can tell the difference, but I certainly can.

Miura Haruma is the face of Itachi.
!!

My sudden Itachi love was brought on by finishing Bloody Monday recently and getting a bucketload of awesome screencaps of said actor.
(Don't be fooled by his tough expression, by the way. Miura plays a physically wimpy but sympathetic character.)

I may or may not return to this and do something to the background later. But I'm finally happy with the face (the last one, also in my gallery, is redeemed only by the fire effects).

Haha, doubt it, but thanks! I do like the style this was in and hope I can reproduce the same soft blending/subtle lighting in future paintings.

What would you call this style of painting?

vitellan In reply to Sarahmint [2013-10-13 17:12:14 +0000 UTC]

Attempt at realism? I'd like to go back to this style because it was back when I had only Photoshop Elements 2 and didn't know how to customize brush size to vary with pen pressure as well, meaning I was more careful and patient about blending subtle colors.

I love it. You can tell it's a guy, but a very effeminate one. Just like Itachi.

Oh gosh yes. Miura Haruma is pretty like a girl, but at least he's no Andrej Pejic.

Whoa, I love it! Also, I had never heard of Miura Haruma before just now, but I think he'd make a good life-action Itachi.

Well done!

Thanks!

Re: live-action - If Miura Haruma buffed up a little and had a little more stage presence. Siigh. Well, a pretty face is a pretty face.

Thanks~ I sometimes miss spending that long on portraits. Although this Itachi looks a little demented to me now, proportion-wise.

vitellan In reply to valinorstwilight [2010-01-18 20:28:19 +0000 UTC]

I used a photo reference and...back then had lots more patience than I do now. Bloody Monday is a suspense/?? J-drama that can be found at mysoju.com...well worth watching.
