Description This was my first portrait commission for Steve Niles! I really love the outcome! The colors and textures came out nice, and the piece overall came out pretty good considering the photo I had to work with was tiny! It's in miscellaneous because I think I did more painting and airbrushing than actual photo manipulation, but I did do both..

All resources are mine.



If you're interested in getting a digital portrait done by me, send me a note and I'll give you more details!

you're right the textures are ... (especially the framing) ... and the whole image is wonderful balanced between old looking and digital ... i like it a lot & ... the only thing which i find a bit irritating is the red elbow on the left and the red knuckles ...

Yes, THE Steve Niles! Isn't that awesome??

Myspace is a wonderful thing

He basically found me through there and likes my work. I posted a bulletin offering portrait commissions and he wanted one!
