Description
I initially started this as a speedpaint to practice using reference, but then spent a lot more time on it because I liked it.It's still not ~super~ refined, but eh. Click download to see the full size that I worked at (1498x2500).(I'll be really impressed if anyone recognizes the actor I used as ref, because he's kind of obscure - and also because I'm really no good at making paintings-using-ref actually look like the ref.)
Over here I put up some WIP shots. As usual, comments are welcome! From anyone! 8D

YOUR ART HAS EXPLODED INTO SOMETHING THAT IS EVEN BETTER THAN WHAT IT WAS BEFORE. (and what it was before was pretty damn good.) keep it up!

I agree with ~ButNotForMe , the texture is lovely. :3 The hands are interesting too, and the colour is a nice contrast to the red.
Unfortunately, I don't recognize the actor. D:
Yay, WIPs! *clicks link*

One of the sad things in digital painting ~totally~ is overblending. I think it's sad even in physical paint*! I'm not sure how I feel about the texture right here - I think it's a bit too "default photoshop brush" - but I'll experiment more with custom painting brushes in the future.
Don't worry about recognition; between his obscurity in the english-speaking world (dunno how obscure or known he is elsewhere) and my general unrepresentationalness, it's no surprise. x)
*Disclaimer: okay, I've seen really blendedy things done well, but when it suits the style.

I really like this style, it's very "paint-y" if that makes any sense. It's sad when digital paintings are overly blended and austere, and this has nice texture. Like the hands, too. Can't say that I recognize the actor, but I never see any movies

Yeah, I love seeing a painterly texture in digital paintings, so it's something a really try for in mine. x) He's a pretty obscure actor; I think he's only been in one English movie, and it was a very silly movie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha! I thought it might be a movie like that. Again, good job with the texture.
