Traditional Art Shhhh mindfreak

Here it is finally finished after several days of working on this.
I had meant to have it finished a lot earlier but school was more important so I had to take about a week off.
The last part were the bracelets which looking weren't as hard as I figured they'd be.
I went back and touched up the darkest places with an 8B pencil, highlighted a little bit more with it in some lighter areas to give the appearance of more depth. I also went back and highlighted with my eraser in areas that needed a few lighter tones. After all was said and done I went back and photoshopped the eyes by overlaying them in red as to make them stand out more.
This in all took me about 20 hours to complete over the span of 7 days in total.
All and all I'd say it turned out better than i expected.

Note that this was done about 4-5 months ago, maybe more in honesty I forgot.

 

I think one of the greatest highlights here is the tone of the skin. It's just so amazingly done. I've seen the WIPs of this in each stage of development and I think it was time well spent. The sheer detail is simply stunning :0

 

Well I appreciate that AP. I figured since I was going to be new here I may as well begin my stay with some sort of "bang" by showing what I can do, even though I think I could do better when I look at this piece now...

 

It's a sign of improvement and the will to, which is always a good thing. I'mma still looking forward to that 9 artwork you and Ojike are probably going to work on >: D

 

He's doing that in photoshop not me :/
I can't find a good picture of 6 which is my favorite little sack person in the movie so far. Besides what am I going to do take a still seen from the trailer? I love my details and if I did that I wouldn't get the level of detail I'd desire so I'll wait to crank some 9 fanart out.

 

I hope your instructor gave you an A. Some instructors are tough on grading projects.

 

This was actually a personal project and what ended up happening was one of his fans convinced me to send it off to Criss Angel himself and so I did via one of his fans who was going to meet him after his live show. Long story short he has it framed and hanging up in Vegas at the Luxor hotel.
...Or at least that's what I was told...

 

Whoa really. You should ask him to take a picture of it at the Luxor and then send it to you. Then you would have proof.

 

Maybe, but who knows honestly :/
