Description Battlestar Galactica's Admiral William Adama.

Used a completely different brush size/style and painting method than I used for Apollo ( [link] )

It's the first time i've EVER done this way and I'm a little surprised at the outcome, you can see my brush strokes and yet... I swear it looks 10x better and more realistic than the other one. What do you guys think?

I kinda stumbled on doing it this way (hard edged) by accident when i was messing around with brushes and styles (since i'm a noob with brushes) and I think I will have to keep on doing it this way it seems.

Comments welcome and appreciated.

Ta. Adama and Kate 2 are my absolute top 2 favourite paintings.
So you obviously have a good eye.

A really good portrait, very realistic, but when you zoom, you don't see it so much realistic, but it stay really skilled, i like this way to paint
Just fix the problem with his eyes, one is full open and the other is half closed ^_^

Reminds me of the wallpaper Sci-Fi channel offers on the website
Adama turned out much better than Apollo.
The strong backlight brings out the contour of the face, and is overall helpful.

It's a perfect capturing of his face, and the shadows really help create a moody tone.

This is an excellent work of art. I'm a psuedo-fan of the series (I tend to move on from one thing to another and then jump back again ^_^,). It looks so realistic that when I saw it in the menu, I thought it was 3D rendering.
You have great potential as an artist. Keep up the good work!
