Inspired by Injury's artwork of Jessica Alba, I decided to try a mockup of Sean Connery in Illustrator. Thought you all might be interested to see how its going based on the interest in Injury's thread. (and a little attention whoring never hurt either ;))

http://www.chadwickcmeyer.com/bond/

I would like some feedback please. I only started working on this last night so I have a ways to go. The one thing that I cant decide on is the right side of the photo. There is a shadow from a birdcage. Should I put that in the photo or try to approximate what the tuxedo would look like?

Thanks :)

Edit: Here is the original Injury thread. http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=38&threadid=1606539

Edit: 7/13 Did work on the neck, collar, shirt and tux today. I edited the shadow on the flower and blended the lips and nose into the face better.

Edit: 7/15 Did work on the shirt, face head and neck today. The left side of the shirt now has ruffles and the neck is now better shaped on the left side. I completed the shape for the top of the head and the ear and redid colors on the face to make it look more realistic. Added eyes.

Edit: 7/16 shaded around the hairline and eyes. Finished off the shirt. To do: Eyebrows, hair, tuxedo right side and minor tuxedo shading on left side, minor touch ups on face.

Edit: 7/20 Lots more shading and detail work done on the face and head to make it look more realistic. The way the photos are displayed in the HTML are also now changed.

No offense, but you've got no talent, dude! Give it up now!

Thanks for your opinion Luvly. You can now go back to demonstrating your artistic talent by pasting black boxes on horribly cropped black and white photos of yourself.

I'm talking to you and you know it. Everyone whos been here for over a year knows that you're Luvly so stop playing dumb. Youre the last person that should be lecturing people about artistic talent lest I have to pull up pictures where you demonstrated your "artistic talent". Now quit trying to usurp my thread.

I have no idea what you're talking about!

Ahah! So I found someone's Archilles' heel. I wasn't expecting you to get all sentimental on me for an expressed opinion!

It would have been helpful if you had provided a link to the Jessica Alba thread, so one would have another graphics to compare yours with. Nonetheless, I was not entirely serious with my comment. It didn't grab me, but I didn't think it was bad either.

You should know how to make an argument by now without getting all sentimental. I never said that I was artistic. In fact, I'm not. And I make no bones about it. I not being artistic doesn't make a crappy work suddenly heavenly! My talent, therefore, is irrelevant--unless I claimed that I was better than you in that skill.

P.S. I'm not usurping your thread. I think that you did that all on your own by overreacting to my comment, which was an opinion about your art. Oh, you even usurped my thread clearly, changing subject. Btw, I can't take care of emotional guys! ;)

So you're always been Uglycasanova from your date of join? I remember you changing your nick. And the previous nick I remember was Booster.

Could you please clarify?

Oh, I sincerely apologize then! I've always thought that you changed your name from Booster. I guess the user known as Booster now is the same Booster I knew. I'm sorry for the mix up. :)
