Title: 5 portraits in 5 days - Any requests?
Post by: James Dilworth on 27 January, 2015, 10:48:43 PM
Looking to bulk out my portfolio with more up to date work, thought some 2000AD portraits would be a good place to start.

The plan is to start on Thursday 29th Jan and do a portrait each day for 5 days.

So... any requests?  Any 2000AD or Megazine character you'd like to see me try and take a crack at?

Barely out of the 'A's there James. This'll have to be six-month residency at least.

The A's didn't go unnoticed.

Let's do this right. I always liked Aaron A. Aardvark.

Ha nicely timed James.more superb work.5 super works but it's Ace Garp for me.now for your next five portraits I'd like the Gronk,Kazan,no 5 from mechanis......  :)
Title: Re: 5 portraits in 5 days - Any requests?
Post by: Fungus on 03 February, 2015, 01:36:00 AM
The subject matter drove you bonkers or the sheer grind of 5 daily portraits ?!
If the former, did the least outlandish subject give you less to get your teeth into? On the face of it a more human subject should be more "routine" but lacks the quirkiness of the others. Did wonder how it would turn out as we've only ever seen Coleby's Jaegir.

A huge treat, anyway, thanks JD. I agree that the Garp is the pick of the bunch. Very disturbing and impressive...

The piece wasn't working out how I wanted and I'd been staring at it most of the day.  I'll probably try again in the next couple of days.
