yeah, so i like to caricature, but what i really like to do is make people into comic type pictures. it is fun for me. here are some recent ones with photos so you can judge how well i have done. though, some of the photos aren't the best to begin with, oh well. if the pictures don't work the first time you come in, try refreshing. believe me, they're there and they work, my server is just screwy.

^ this is my webhost, tahj. he is a big guy, but he loves photography. i've always found those types of people cool. the ones that don't fit the mold most people would immediately put them into.

this is nicole. and when i asked her to take this picture she was reluctant. honestly, some people just need to own their nose. besides, noses add character.

here are the other two.

a selfportrait. that would be me.

please skip this one.

this is a friend of mine named stephanie. she works at a laser tag place. i sort of improved on the general design of the packs that people wear inside.

this one was pretty fun to do.

lol, SELFPORTRAIT RULEZZZZZZ!!!!!@
Btw this is frustrating for me how some people (yous) draw even un-realistic drawings with comix style, and still capture resemblance to the real face (photo).

thanks guys. i'm glad you liked them.

-shizo. i've done caricature professionally. at two different themeparks. this is just my relaxed comic style of caricature, but it's the one i like to do the most. if you want to learn to do this, apply for a job this summer at a local themepark or somewhere you know that has a caricature stand. they usually take a week before the season starts to test/train new employees to see if they want to hire them. even if you don't get hired, you'll learn some invaluable techniques. (like thinking of hair as a mass, and noticing that everyone's nose is the same but different) it's a lot of fun and pays well.

Love them all. The girls are much cuter than you give them credit for though, especially stephanie.
