Yep, this is supposed to look like a scene from matrix..(with a totally different colour sheeme then the movie though..)
no reffernce pic used. Only looked in the mirror a few times to get the right face expression.

Did this in one sitting.. so I'm kinda blinded of it.

tell me what you think.

Holy!.

Dixter mate, your skills are improving ridiculously so.
The midground char isn't quite up to par with the others but no biggie.

I'm not gonna get picky, so I think its turned out mint. Nice lighting.....*espcially* that nice pale blue touch on the foreground char's forehead.

One sitting!. Get outside man!, you need some reality!!

Sweet!.

That's amazing DiXter, I don't think I can fit everything I like about this pic in one post.
Everything is correctly proportioned, the choice of lighting is very dramatic and the skin tones have the colour variations and the texture - oh man, it's too much!
I'm willing to bet you've used no Photoshop filters here, either (assuming you used Photoshop). You probably haved even used gradient tools on the background! Is all of this really hand-painted?

You the man!

Is that Kevin Spacey at top right?
Just kidding. It looks like it turned out really well. I like the bit o stubble you have on the main guy's chops.

Awesome, great painting dude

[Man With No Name]

wow,

That's really nice work. Especially the lighting.... One sitting? How many cups of coffee? Damn. I'm impressed.

[roundeye]

ONLY COMMENT TO GIVE: Make the ties tight on them. They lose their character if they are loosened up. Remember they are tight asses and robots. They are never relaxing or tired like us humans. Plkease change it. For some reason that stood out. Sorry. After this change it will look phat ass!--------------Luis

[MrLuisDiaz]

I don't think they smoked either and the guy in the back looks like someone's father because the suit is not painted right. Make his suit cover up the inside shirt. Man don't hate me. I hardly say things like this.-----Luis

[StrangeFate]

looks very classic, love it!

Nice painting, but I see a few problems.

His head is tilted back a little while his hair doesn't look as titled as his head, yet his ear is low and looks like his head should be tilted a lot more. Also, his jaw seems to be connecting with his skull somewhere behind his ear when, in actuality, your jawline ends right under your ear(Not that I think you don't know these things, but I take every chance I have to be helpful).

Also, the midground man's forehead is a bit too prominent and bulky, in my opinion.

Are you sure this 'one sitting' thing is true? Are you sure you didn't just not get up from your wheeled chair that you just rolled everywhere in?

Sorry, for haven't replyed to this earlier.. I've been out of town for a few days..

Lukiaz: Thanks man! I think I was to tired to see that the midguy wasn't as well rendered as the rest. I'll do some changes tonight. I dunno if I need reality afterwards, but I needed some good sleep for sure .

Highfive: haha! Thanks a lot!! But I think there's some parts of it that could need some changes. Drawn in Photoshop no filters used, not even gradient tools. All handpainted ..

Stevethomas: hehe. Thanks!!

Dryfire: thanks!

Man With No Name: thankyou!! No coffee, just a couple of gallons of CocaCola..

Roundeye: Thanks... It means much to me to hear that from you..

MrLuisDiaz: I know that they look too human.. and you're perfectly right, they didn't smoke or anything in the movie.. But I think that just added some great atmosphere to it, so I don't wanna take that away. But thanks for the good crit!

StrangeFate: makes me happy to hear..

Bishop_Six: Thanks. Thanks for the good crit!! I'll have that in mind when I do some changes to it.
Nope, I had my girlfriend ducktape me to the chair and glue the wacom pen to my hand..

love it!
