Hey Guys, loong time no see, ey ?
I've been very busy/lazy lately. I don't know why, but it might have somehting to do with not having internet connection at work. But, I have a lot to post, so I'll start with this one.
It's just a quickie I did for a friend of mine. He asked for a charicature of his girlfriend, and this is the result...

nothing much

holy shite! nothing much, huh

?
ony crit is that the face looks quite monochrome (word?), maybe adding some red to the cheeks and yellow to the forehead?
just tryin' to help.

did you sleep with her?

oh, nice caricature too....

Very well done, for a caricature though it probably wouldn't hurt to exaggerate features more.

Well Joachim, I think its good...

somehow I think the style of painting in the face doesnt match the realistic body tho.. I would almost expect to see a really small torso... make her look thin.....

dont get me wrong the face and the torso by themselves are good enough but together dont seem to match...

Quickie??

wow, that's great.. It would be great if you posted a photo of her. But from what I see I must say it's really good! A bit paleish or ehh.. greish skintones to be you (hope you understand what i mean..) but It's really awesome for a quickie.

Looking forward to see more of your recent stuff..

Hey guys, and thanks for liking the charicature.
I agree very much that the colors are too monochromic....I kind of knew it even when I sat and painted it. I also agree that the proportions could have been exaggerated much more too. The reason why I didn't do so, was that I've never met this girls, and so it was very hard, even though I had a photo ref to help me. But, you kind of need to know a person to make a good charicature, or atleast seen them in motion a couple of times.....so that you know their attitude, what makes them special, etc.
Awetopsy, you have a good point, though it doesn't bother me that much, I don't know, maybe it would have been better if I made the body even smaller, so that the heads size to the body looked more goofy? But, to late for that now

anyway, here's the ref pic:

I had a couple of other situational pictures with here too, just so that I could see some more angles, so that it would be a bit easier to find something to exaggerate. But, the guy I made it for says it's just like looking at her, so I hope I pulled that part off, or maybe he is just being nice, hehe -you never know
