Wow, that puts my caricature images to shame. How long did you take to paint this?

It's very Sebastian Kruger. Love it.

Another really nice piece, roundeye. The parts I especially like are the nose and mouth area, and how you did his beard.

DiXter · Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2002 12:24 pm

love the beard. Just love the hole pic..

I've sid this so many times before.. but I'll say it again anyway..
You rock!

I now realize why Roundeye is so damn popular. Wowsers, that is one nice painting! I honestly can't find stuff wrong with it.

That's another really sweet piece roundeye, I'm envious

you said it was drawn directly in photoshop which was hard for you... what do you normally do?

Very cool...it has a LOT of character...insane artwork as usual!

AJ · Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2002 8:23 pm

Roundeye, do you have any tutorials demonstrating how you work? Your art is quite incredible and I think I/we could learn a lot from seeing the stages of a piece such as this one.

I saw your black and white tute, but a colour one would be very helpful.

well done mate.

thanks a tonne guys

AJ theres 2 steps here if you really wanna see: http://eatpoo.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1008

but its not much. i should have saved more. but its pretty basic. start dark, build up highlights etc...

jesusclone - i prefer real pencil and paper, its a lot easier to control for me. so i usually scan pencils and paint over them.

Sumaleth im not sure really. id guess like 6-8 hours in total maybe.

Just awesome, roundeye! Great texture and exaggerations in all the right places.

Not bad at all, bro! To say the least.

Flexible Elf · Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2002 11:05 pm

LOL! So much life in that guy man. He's Joe Cocker if he'd been in the Air Force

As always really nicely done. I need to learn to paint.

Wonderful work!
I would love to see any tutorials (if you offer them).
I'm surprised that you said you don't often work with Photoshop...You use it so well.
