After those charicatures i did a portrait
of a colleague at work. i exagerated a great deal while he was posing. If you'll not hear from me tomorrow, you know who killed me.

What do you think? There are a couple of flaws here and there, but no time to fix right now cause i'll have to go home.
I'll check back tomorrow morning.

Very cool. Like the highlights. Is that watercolor, markers, or did you color it in PhotoShop? Dug your caricatures, too

Justin Kramer · Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2001 1:18 pm

nice pose

He looks kinda familiar...

I like the technique. Only nitpick is that his nose looks like it's turned slightly to the side, while the rest of his face is facing forward.

Hehe, nice one Micke !
Justin, that's not me, I can see the similarities between those two, but we don't look-alike in real life.

great as usual
hmmm I tryed to do this pose
(noticed it is very strenuously btw)
my arm looks different from yours
my elbow is much higher and my hand can't grab the other arm so easily(not without strenuous)

and if I loose the pose up a bit I can see the trizeps of the right arm

hope this make any sense
if not blame my poor english

Hi Micke! I really love that pic. Did you just paint over it on a new layer set to multiply? Because I can still see the pencil strokes underneath.

LOL - always kind to me.. Flattering! ;-)

I'm back...
Sorry Shorty

It was done on paper first and i painted on layers on top of it and set them to multiply and i played around with the transparency.
Justin: It's not Joa, although i can see he similarity with the high forehead. oops the nose. I'll take a look at it afterwards.
Silber: The only thing that i tried to change and exagerate was the face and not the body or pose(i did a little bit). So the pose is possible to do without problems. I tried it out myself just to make sure.
But i have to admit it's not usual to see the arms in that position

Danny: Hehe, maybe i'll do that later on.
Jason: Yes i did. I love the multiply function

Thanks alot!
Shorty: Do a nasty one of me and we're even

Sweet work Micke!

Only thing I see you might try doing is adding a bit of shadow where his arm's against his face. The hand is awesome, as is the face, well, as is the whole dang thing. Nice work

I absolutely LOVE your painting style... I cannot describe it, it is just a very interesting rendering look that I've never seen before.

Most excellent.
