...with me.
i have to be the slowest CG painter in the history of mankind.

this piece took me 17(!) hours to finish... well, not actual time but close to. i only took short breaks for coffee and stuff... smart as i am i started working on it last night and came up with the brilliant idea to finish it in one sitting... sleep is for losers...

anyways, here's my latest:

wow very cool..

17 hours is a fair while but you have a great result.

Wow, yeah 17 hours may seem a lot but it's really a nice end result. Very interesting style. His left shoulder (to our right) seems a bit flat though.
Anyways. Really good work.

Bah. I really don't get this Sijun mentality of "Golly gee, it only took me 3.5 seconds to make this picture! Am I hard core or what?"

I understand timing a speed painting, but otherwise I care more about the actual quality of the work then the number of nano-seconds it took. And I can tell you, this is quality. Sweet. What beautil and unconventional use of lines.

okay, thanx for the comments guys!

any crits on what could be done better to next time?

Maybe you could take your line use a little further and treat the image like facets, or planes of color.

a facet portrait of myself

Only keep using those jagged lines and the separation bewteen them. The face looks great, but the shoulders feel lacking in comparison.
