Jesus H Christ...That is fantastic!

Mind if I ask how long it took you? The detail is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE.

Yes, you have a very clean style; it looks almost like a 3d render (especially the facial features and modelling). All I can say is, keep it up and draw every day, you're on the right track.

Christ on a bike... awsome!!
Did you use a filter (sandstone texture) to get the poars (spelling?) in the face ?

joacim_nitz · Posted: Tue Oct 01, 2002 8:38 am

yes i used a filter.. "Reticulation" then i changed the Hue on it... and some opacity fixes.. then i used the Erase tool in diffrent areas.. and diffrent opacity... =) i hope u get it =)

and thnx =)

that is a beautifully rendered piece. If there's anything to crit I'd say that perhaps the face portion of the head seems elongated. Aside from that anatomical issue, the quality of rendering is superb. It's difficult distinguishing this from a 3d render

here is the photo i used as reference..

maybe it helps to give crit. =)

thnx for the rep.

ah, so it's cropping off the top of your head, and I think that's what I'm noticing. It looks like the top of the head is just too flat in your rendering

tottaly: maybe u are right.. well.. il look into it later.. thnx for the tip.

Hi there, Joacim!

Since the photo is distorted, the top of the head looks small, and the jaw is super-huge. To avoid distortion, I think you should place the camera as far away as you can, and then zoom. I could be wrong, though. The textures you've done look very good, glassy eyes, etc. On accuracy, there's no point in critiquing, since you traced the picture. I would have appreciated it if you showed me that step as well. Overall, it looks good. Use a mirror the next itme
