Ok, this one may be too far from being ready to post, but part of me is hoping to get a bit of feedback. Carlyle, if your reading this, your characature of your characature is KICKING MY ASS!

I also hope this can give people an idea of how I'm making these. As you can see, I have a bit of the original animation drawing "which from what I understand is Korey's artwork, but please correct me if I'm wrong", and I basically take photographs of other people who have features that I can stretch and cut to fit into the drawing outlines. Carlyle and Leon have proven to be the biggest challenges, mostly due to clothing and facial hair. Some people have noted that the characters look feminine. This wasn't the goal of the project, but something that most artists know is that animated characters do tend to have softer features than real life males. They have smaller noses, pointier chins, etc. Also, they may have a feminine appearance due to the fact that many of the pictures I use for skin texture come from women. The reason for this is because male skin tends to be more porous or textured, making it a HUGE challenge to make the skin from more than one model blend together. But I capture as many male features as I can, such as eyes "which are stretched to all Hell" and other things.
As you can see I have a ways to go on this piece, but I'm pretty happy over all with how he's turning out. I'm having alot of trouble with his eyes though. I want to give my thanks to Korey and the Spill crew for posting my work on his awesome Pod Cast "Let's Do This!" which by the way, is fucking hilarious!
