Artist's Comments

I used this wonderful reference shot [link] from the great stock gallery of ~Valentine-FOV-Stock and I am rather pleased with the result. This is the first traditional art I've done in a long time.

The original is in black and white, but I wanted a punch of color. :D

[edit]

Sorry, there werre a couple of things wrong with the head and they really bothered me. They are fixed and I'm not going to touch it again. :D

The kiss of Fame and art for art's sake were his goal
When Chromer, painter, with the world first went to cope;
But now he barely pays for bread and board and coal
By making lurid posters for Van Apple's soap.

Mine too. :giggle: It too two days, and a lot of yelling at the paper, but I really like what came out.
