Description Aaargh, this took me so much longer than I intended! Heck, it wasn't even my intention to draw this! I need to work on contest prizes! But yeah, I wanted to see how well I could keep up the realism of this pic:



that turned into this:


The hair tried to kill me. I also added some very strong lighting, to keep the pic interesting. His facial expression is quite blank, you see... Not even a smirk! Perfect for a passport, but here? Nah... I changed the eyes a bit too, since there was something a bit off that I didn't see without the rest of the face.

Orion is part of a story I am working on. The prologue can be found here:

thank you! It's funny: sometimes I feel like he is staring at me, but at other times, it feels like he is staring at something just above me... but only just weird...

You're welcome! ^^
Haha, yea! Maybe he can see something above our heads? A spider, perhaps? ;u;

haha! I think if it was a spider, his gaze would be more like this:

Oh my gosh, I have arachnophobia and I really wasn't expecting to see a spider appear in my inbox XD I may have screamed a tiny bit...

Nooo! Orion without smirk~ Beside, what shampoo does he use? His hair looks so FABULOUS!!

Sometimes such an expression occurs... and goodness, I would love to know that too, I need that shampoo!

patbunNF In reply to queenofeagles [2016-04-19 05:09:58 +0000 UTC]

Right, I'm so sure no one can smirk all day XD If I got that shampoo, then my hair won't get messed up again

queenofeagles In reply to patbunNF [2016-04-26 07:59:57 +0000 UTC]

maybe if you put some tape on the corners of your mouth to keep them up... or get a knife and create a smile like the Joker XD I think the brushes I used for his hair are too fancy: it should be all tangled up

patbunNF In reply to queenofeagles [2016-04-28 08:02:59 +0000 UTC]

A tape sounds okay (but I don't think I would do it XD) but the knife... that sounds creepy, that gotta hurt Those brushes would work great with women hair!

I think so too... lets keep knives in the kitchen drawer eh? ohh, and yes! (Morgan, where are you? I have some brushes for you!)

K-naille [2016-04-16 08:47:19 +0000 UTC]

He looks surprised ^^ But you did an amazing job, here!

There's something off, but I think it comes from the very realistic style.

queenofeagles In reply to K-naille [2016-04-16 20:12:48 +0000 UTC]

I guess surprising moments occur to him as well XD Thank you so much!

hmm... can you pinpoint a bit what it is? Not sure if I can fix it though...

K-naille In reply to queenofeagles [2016-04-16 20:33:27 +0000 UTC]

^^ It changes from his usual (but oh so sexy) smirk.

I guess his eyes and eyebrow are a bit too high in his face? I'm not sure. It makes his nose and jaws look too big, somehow.

queenofeagles In reply to K-naille [2016-04-18 19:25:14 +0000 UTC]

I'll get back to the smirks then

he's supposed to have a long nose, but this is probably beyond the limit of what's humanly possible I guess XD Big jaws like that do exist though: mine looks the same :')

K-naille In reply to queenofeagles [2016-04-18 20:37:01 +0000 UTC]

He'll come back to smirks on his own, wont' he? ^^

He doesn't look un-human! But he's just too realistic so each detail seems important in his face...

queenofeagles In reply to K-naille [2016-04-26 08:23:48 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah. It's pretty default for him

haha, good! though I think I'll stick to rough brush strokes next time, much easier!

bergunty In reply to queenofeagles [2016-04-17 06:10:30 +0000 UTC]

It's a bit of a joke here that everyone's photo for passports/driver's licence looks like a criminal mugshot. Those photo booths, with the staring at a certain spot, and the not smiling rules for passports, mean we look like we've done something very serious. 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

queenofeagles In reply to bergunty [2016-04-18 19:33:04 +0000 UTC]

we can give a small smile, as long as it doesn't show teeth... but otherwise, the rules are strict here as well. Everone just looks dump now on their pass port pics. Though I have a pass over here that shows me with a nice black bar in front of my eyes, like a proper criminal! It's my archery club pass - I made a joke about the black bar there, never expected the guy who was in charge of making the passes would actually mutilate my photo like that!

You need to draw him with that awful smirk sometime This looks great! It turned out really amazing and you kept up with the realism quite well

queenofeagles In reply to Moltenkitty [2016-04-16 06:12:50 +0000 UTC]

like this one ? I draw him more often with smirk than without, this was quite a change! thank you sooo much!

Wonderful. The beard seems so realistic... And, well, everything else. The texturing is amazing.

(And I love how you progressed from Just an eye to Just a face.)

Work is well made, only his facial expression doesn't fit to him.

queenofeagles In reply to PapierowySzczur [2016-04-16 20:15:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! well, it fits him more then you might think; smirks are better for him, but he doesn't do that constantly His face can be quite blank and 'focused on things that are not here' too.
