Chief Long in the Face

I'm pretty please with how this one turned out. I was going for a weathered daguerrotype kind of feel. I referenced a few old portraits for this but didn't really try to make it look like anyone in particular.

All Photoshop.

Viking!

I'm calling him "Sven the Sublingual".

He only loses the ability to talk after the second barrel of beer!
All Photoshop from sketch to finish.

Finished him a week or so ago and forgot to post!

Here is a portrait that I painted of my wife for her birthday. She's the most beautiful woman and I love her more than anything. I thank God that she married me, I'm a very lucky man.

Happy Birthday Sweetie.

Love,
Ian

I am the worst blogger ever. . .

I haven't posted anything in well over a month!
well I've been trying more caricatures. Everytime I feel like I'm exaggerating the crap out of the subject but by the time I'm mostly done it doesn't look very caricaturey at all. So, who can guess who this is supposed to be?
Can't tell? I'm not surprised. . . He was recently awarded an Academy award and also starred opposite Tom Hanks in last year's best movie (in my opinion).
