He does look sad, but I think that's what makes it so realistic.

Oh my heavens... Instant !

I thought this was a photograph when I viewed the thumbnail in your Gallery.

He reminds me very much of the creepy fellow who played Eugene Victor Tombs, on the X-Files. Doug Hutchinson. You know... "Liver Man". hehe

And that is why I belive he is hiding in the shadows...

He's scoping us out for juicy livers!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! *flees in terror while covering lower middle back*

oh and i started to mention but didnt finish... the eye, it seems a little too white. Not mottled enough to sit inside of that eyelid.

Do you know what i mean?

ebineesey [2004-06-30 06:42:12 +0000 UTC]

the flesh is pretty commendable, nice work. The lips too. I'd say the eye could use some work, and the fact that that isnt plural, that's a slight issue too. Even though its in the dark its still gonna be visible to some extent. Namely the reflection. I dont know its been a long time since i looked at the picture though.


ALso... damn you for including the lens distortion on my nose! Another person used this picture for a drawing reference and did that too. Oh well.

He has a bit of a boxers nose, true, but that's nice in a way. He'd be too pretty otherwise. I like the different colors you brought into the skin. Kinda reminds me of Gigalo Joe from that aweful movie.

kaelay [2004-06-22 03:54:18 +0000 UTC]

it looks cool, is it like a mixture of a picture and digital art?
the only comment i would say is about the nose, it looks a bitsy weird, perhaps shading the left side of it a bit more
