This is a digital painting (Photoshop/Painter Classic) I've done as a birthday present for my mum (shhhh don't tell her, she doesn't know yet!). I must admit I've spent much, much longer on this than anything else I've done for ages; I spent possibly too long worrying about the face:

Detail:

Large Version Here:

I made a couple of really rough sketches, and took it from there. Anyway, even though I've put it in the finished section, I may well make changes to it, depending on any advice you guys can give me? I'd recommend looking at the large version by the way Smile

Thanks!

i like it ! nice composition, and i do not feel the time you spend on it, it seems to be an "easy" paint for you.
i think your mum will be happy !

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like he's sticking his hands down his pants? This is good, but if I didn't know what it was for I might think it was a bit creepy.

Drew: I see that large blue are in bottome corner as one of his le up at an angle, resting on the other knee, or some similar pose, rather than as his waist, with his hands resting on his folded up leg.

I like the ear a lot, maybe not exactly the focal point but I like it.

Thanks for all the comment folks,

I'm glad people generally seem to like it, Capt. Fred you are correct in your description of the posture, although, Drew, I see what you mean when you say "he's sticking his hands down his pants" heh

Bobuke, I can always count on you for comments, and I love the way you describe the 'LePensky-nerv' Smile

So, thanks again to you all for your comments, I'm quite inspired to create another image now!
