if you're going to give up just cause someone has ~*~more skill~*~ than you, you're pretty much a terrible loser cry baby.

instead take jarjar's work, zoom it, analyze it, and try to learn from it as much as you can.

Calm down you cranky old beaner, im not quitting I was just saying "fuck these guys are good".

Coming along pretty well.

jar told me i should enter this so im going to, ill post a "wip" later today :~ )

dunno how far in you are but i gave it a quick edit. the face could use a bit more definition and the shades seem too close together. i made the second lightest shade a bit pinker to give it more lifelike feeling and i added some depth into certain spots. i also made the eye a bit thinner to give it a less cartoony and more fierce look.

i'm joining i'm totally doing this for sure although i feel a little outclassed here

one last """crack""" at this guy before i move onto something else entirely for this


e: just in case i dont actually get around to it heres a correctly sized one

aside from the fact that its way too big for a portrait

it still sucks

euheuheuheuheuheuh

ok now to actually work on something else

shit, that is super sexy. You really helped it out. Mind if I use it?

Now I gotta get crackin on the rest of him.

well, the point of an edit is to show how you can improve it. i think you should fix it up yourself to improve it on your own, using my edit as an example

keep in mind to;
-alter the colours a bit to be less dull and dirt water-y
-add more definition to the face, bring out the cheek bone, stern out that brow, make the scar blend more, and so on
-the body could be temporary but i recommend making the pose something more natural like one hand in his pocket and the other holding the cigarette.

i really like what you have so far though. im rooting for you!

Gave him more of an aged look to the face. Added some wrinkles/dark areas and looked at a picture of my dad for some reference. (He looks like the guy, but without the beard) Still gotta fix up the neck, ear and beret.
Also, I'm planning for one hand to be in his pocket, and the other holding a cigarette case



also, thanks shawn.

I'm getting back into the groove :]
