It looks nice, but he doesn't really look like Hannibal Lecter...

Togusa · Posted: Sun May 20, 2001 2:47 pm

I hate the decadent lector, think I'm supposed too

Hey, but what a picture!! Really great! And it seems if hannibal messed up his shirt with his last lunch

btw, I'm just browsing through you're website: I'm just through the life drawings - and I can only admire what I'm seeing

...looking forward to the rest of your site!

Looks like he has been interrupted during his meal. It does resemble A.Hopkins a little bit. I think the style is very cool, even his slightly misplaced right eye. Looks great.
Is this watercolor?

Great painting, and others on your site. Really enjoyed JOURNEY'S END!

Hope to see you post your work more!

Hey veryone, Thanks soo much for lookin

ReSistanZ- thanks...i should say it is Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal...but whatever no excuses here, I'll try alot harder to hit the likeness on my next one.

Togusa- Thanks ! yeah..he's a messy eater...
thanks about the site too, I appreciate it very much!

burnout- Thanks dude!, any more like what??? I do many paintings of celebrities...but as for that specific style...with the blood drips..No, I try to make every piece as different as the subject. As for that technique..yes. Thanks for the comments. I am doing more illustrations as we speak..look for new stuff by Friday. ( I cant wait till you get stuff up on your site! love the dude on the front)

Neprow- Thanks...yeah A "little bit" guess I shoulda tried to hit the likeness before I painted

...I was just doing it for fun, from a 1" square reference photo, ittook me a couple hours...looks like I should spend more time next time on the likeness, Thanks

It is Acylic and colored pencil.

Painted Melody- Thank you very much

I hope to do more work...HAHA

as soon as my nephew quits bugging me to play hockey in the streets, and Tony Hawk 2 on the playstation! ( i like the work you are doing

)

Thanks to everyone for the comments, good and bad they help.

Hi u2art, looks very cool man, I really like the looseness of the shirt and b/g, nice colours too. Maybe the face is bit overworked?..

With the likeness I think it does look like hannibal maybe crossed with frank sinatra

Definetely cool stuff. Look forward to more =)

Awetopsy · Posted: Sun May 20, 2001 8:52 pm

wow... thats really cool man.. I like.

Salty Dog · Posted: Sun May 20, 2001 9:24 pm

Does this look like Frank Sinatra to anyone else?

maybe I need sleep. Either way, impressive piece! Not often do you see full on "caricatures" of celebs. Nowadays it's just kids tracing stuff out of Maxim. Kudos!!

FFNeX · Posted: Sun May 20, 2001 10:56 pm

It does ressemble Hopkins a little bit, you should fix that right eye that was mentioned before, and fix the colors a tad, it looks like he's been on the sun for way too long.

It does kinda look like a Cannibal Frank Sinatra

But then again, so does Lecter/Hopkins.

Morbid Guy · Posted: Mon May 21, 2001 2:01 am

I like the arty style of this, looks really nice! I think the top half looks like Hopkins and the bottom of Sinatra, but it kinda works as a whole. If you do a series of these different actors or,err...cannibals might be cool.

Hello Everyone, as ALWAYS THANKS!!!!

Cos- Thanks man. I have been developing that technique for awhile, i just saw how far I could take it, so yes, maybe a litle overworked. As for Sinatra!! HAHAAH, cool! I get that alot too! HAH, my sister said humphrey bogart....???dont know about him. HAH, thanks man.

Awetopsy- Thanks a heap man!!!

Salty Dog- Thanks. Sinatra yes...maybe i will just say it is Sinatra! HAHAHA, no, i'll take the shit for painting a bad hannibal.

FFNeX - Thanks for the input. I tried to make the picture disturbing by moving the eye over...I have been doing that lately...maybe I need help. And I tried to get a dark red bloody color on the face...maybe too dark, aye??? like I said I am an illustrator...so exact realism isnt really my thing ... The only thing I hate about Illustration is scanning. I could get a picture looking really close to the original but it'll take me like an hour on PS using levels, and color balance, so I just get it close enough. Most of my contact is done through mailers anyway....Thank you VERY much for the points though...they are well taken.

Morbid guy- Thanks!!!...cannibals aye?? series....hmmmm ...morbid..HAHA, do IT!

again thanks to everyone, very constructive and good points. I appreciate them all
