A belated commission for I spent a lot of time on this one, I'm really happy with the result. Lots of random reference used. Also, after completion I tried a couple variations and then had difficulty figuring out which version I liked best. Here is the original image [link] Annndddd here is a close up of his face for those of you interested. [link] I tried out a slew of different techniques on this one, so please, if you see something off I would appreciate if you critiqued me ANBU = Hotness... That is all. (c) Megan Leppington.

-- Zero Link... reporting to base 98% of teenagers do or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy and paste this to your signature. I was really worried about getting the lighting right since its from two sides, glad ya like it
Thanks for the comment, and yeaaahhhsss anbu gear is hot -- Never give up on your art, if it's in you never let go of it. Even in the darkest of times, when nothing is working out, take a break, cuz the lights still there. Wait for it, and give it all you've got. I seem to be having an issue balancing out the cartoon style to realism, I tried adding lots of realistic touches to his face, but I guess it wasn't enough. Although I do want to retain a bit of cartoon style to it, not pure realism.
hmm maybe thats what was wrong with his eyes, I asked a couple of my artist friends and they all thought something was off, that maybe it was too bulgy in comparison to the other. I thought his eyes looked a bit strange but I figured it was more due to them being different colors, it throws ya off a bit. Anyways, thanks a lot for the critique, I'm slowly trying to add more realism into my artwork so the help is really appreciated. -- Never give up on your art, if it's in you never let go of it.
