Unbelievable talent. Your a great painter. Good work.
shad you are da master one of my fav actresses in such a perfect pic :) extra cool
shad thats incredible wow !
Damn man... this is great! I can't believe you drew her from scratch!
Nice stuff.
very good portrait like the hair and colure shading
Excellent likeness, I love the skin and lighting. Great job capturing her. The hair is pretty well done, but it looks a tad "smudgy." Maybe try adding some definition with some smaller strokes. Still, great job. I'm impressed.
as usual, i sit here in amazement! who says digital isn't real art! Doing that has to be as hard if not harder than painting it in acrylics or oils!
This is fantastic stuff, especially painted from scratch! :-)>
You just seem to get better and better my friend! It almost looks like you touched up a photo to look like a painting. It's that damn good!!! Keep up the great work! You never cease to amaze me!
hey the nose is right, excellent pic :)
nice! looks just like her!
very nice shadows in the face- great painting!
wow that really looks like BUFFY =) well done shadow. Her hair and skin tones looks great. Keep up the great work.
I am not fond of Sarah Michelle's look, but I must admit this is impressive :) Excellent :)
This is really beautiful, Shadow.... very well done, indeed! :)
Looks just like her. Nice job, Shadow. What were you using for reference? This is amazing!
I used a reference picture to look at and examine that I had gotten off the net that was a framegrab of the show and proceeded from there. By the way, it was not an interview photo when it started... :)
I am always awed with a kind of reverence when I find artists like you who consistantly strike out on their own and build a complete image by hand, working the tools of a good paint program. This magnificent piece of portraiture, (regardless of who she is) is a total delight to see. I'm unfamiliar with the young actress as I never watch the show in question, however, that doesn't dull the exquisite beauty of this image by so much as a single pixel. Your skills in hand painting with PhotoShop are extraordinary my friend, and as dragonmagic accurately says; "You never cease to amaze me!"
Nicely done, and a good likeness. :)
Jesus christ, that looks so much like her. U are very good with photoshop. And totally from scratch!? Damn, well done.
Man alive - that is hell good AND you did it on the computer from scratch??? :( Now I know I suck.......G
Wow! Excellent work, ShadowWind! Like it very much!
(#"&%$"$#) bloody great shad..... !!! always like these type of pics!!
I like this image very much :) And thanks for telling me about it.
