Description
*brushing off the dust*I saw X-men: First Class the other week, and decided to draw Charles Xavier/Professor X, as he was in 1962.
(He is either using telepathy or having migrane.)

No matter what I do, it turns to photorealism

The way he's staring at us is a bit unsettling. I think his telepathic message must be something like "leave comment for this awesome painting!"
It worked.

yes, but unfortunately for the last half a year (or more maybe) I have only done sketchwork... and university tasks... I haven't got anything of good quality to upload (but for university work and by that not all of it is worthy of showing) ah well...

Great job! I absolutely loved X-Men: First Class, so I'm really excited to see some fanart
The textures on his clothes are absolutely amazing--how did you do that?! The gloves and sweater, especially, look terrific.
His face looks good, but I think the skin could use a bit more blending to push that realism to the next level. Not that it's not brilliant already, but a few spots on his forehead, chin and neck could be a bit more defined, you know?
Great work, thanks for sharing!

Good movie
I used a kind of spatter brush (lots of small dots) and then used a blender brush to make them a bit diffuse... hence the fuzzy effect. Never tried it before!
I know, the face could use some more work... but i value finishing the piece in reasonable time too, I can make a new one in a year or so to compare my progress.

Well the effect came out amazingly. Great job!
I see what you mean. Sometimes you just have to be done with the piece, or else you go nuts. It's a great way to approach the art, and it's still a fantastic piece

Wauw, great work; especially on the face and cloth
The background and use of the light circles are really great!

that was the initial question, srry for the typo.. it looks gud is what i meant >>

Well, I have to admit: If I didn't know that it is you. And if I hadn't watched the progress you've made since we met for the first time, I'd say: it's a photo. Slightly postprocessed, but still a photo!
Wow! 
(I vote for migrane ... Reading the others' thoughts must be painful sometimes.

Much thanks
It took about a week to do, from sketch to the real thing. Large areas of paint first, then rough details, then a blender to make the color transitions smooth.
The glove and the sweater required a new technique, something that produced a spatter of small dots that i blended slightly into something that looks like wool or similar. Never tried it before
