Description Finally done.

I made is sparkly 'cause I no longer wanted to do what I originally intended.

It's big enough to be printed 11x17. I think I might do it one day.

Does anybody want a walkthrough for interest?

Digging all the hard lights and shadows, they underline the planes of his face. I dunno who he is, but he looks like a gladiator.

Haha, oh god. I should use that as one of those caption reviews (although I don't think do them for paintings).

In case you're still worried, I think they have doctors for that.

This is really great, the colours, composition, textures, lighting are all really well done. I would love to see a walkthrough of your process, I'm especially interested in how you achieved the skin texture. I keep trying to do something similar but never succeed :/.

The walkthrough is already up, actually. You can see it over here --> [link]
The skin texture is really due to a good brush. I link to it in the walkthrough description.

And thanks

It's so amazing that I don't even have any appropriate words to describe my feelings. The portrait resemblance is absolutely perfect. It's like he's looking straight at me!

Thanks . It makes every other portrait I've painted of him sadly lacking in comparison.

I would love to see a walkthrough! I'm particularly curious about the sparkles for some reason.
This is so amazing -- I think you've outdone yourself!

The sparks were fairly easy, I used this tutorial [link] with some modifications.

And thanks, love
