Very cool, I like all of these that have been done!

But see - if a guy posts his funny face up on the forum, everyone says, "Hehe! What a funny guy!" But if a girl posts her funny face up, everyone says, "Damn, that's one ugly lookin' girl!"

So I happily step down from this challenge, my normal self port looks bad enough ^_^

Take off your clothes. It's OK - I'm an artist.

Fucking rad.....oops I swore

Who's a nutta then....
.....pull that second pic back a bit so we can see the straight jacket.

Joachim -

Do you experiment much with getting loose and whipping them out fast. Gestural drawing and quick pieces tend to be a real satisfying experience (if they turn out as planned).

Are YOU happy with these...
I like to know how the artist feels

Superbug · Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2000 6:38 pm

Yikes!! Those are slick, also scary at the same time.

TheMilkMan · Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2000 6:43 pm

Loose but very nice I like them a lot...I like how you but some expression in there ...good way for us to get a feel for your personality!

That first one made me laugh out loud--looks like you got caught playing Tarzan or something

Nothing that needs fixing that I can see. Your kung fu is the best...

looks really cool, i like how you got the light from your monitor on the inside of your lip.. looks like your doing a jack nicholson/nixon impression in the second one

Striker · Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2000 11:11 pm

Wow, these pics are great. I've learned so much by just looking at these. thanks for posting them joachim. Both of em made it to my hard drive to be studied more later...

Snake Grunger · Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2000 11:27 pm

Those are really nice Mr. Barrum

Nice wrinkles

Do you have a bruise on your nose??

Though, aren't you supposed to be working hard?

You seem to have alot of free time on yours hands for being in deadline week

Seph|roth · Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2000 11:42 pm

Those are looking pretty good Joachim. I've been trying to draw real faces but i'm having a lot of trouble with the colors...
any tips ?

Hi, Joachim! Last night I saw micke's attemts and now I have two really nice facial expressions in front of my nose.

Nice.. and it's good for you and nice for us that you paint often.

These are really cool. I could indentify you from these two pieces. How long does it take to paint something like these? I would really like to know 'cause many of your quick practices look well handled. Beatiful skintones and shading too. Wow! I am dying to buy some WACOM... huh.

hi joachim,
as usual really nice picture. i was just wondering did you use a miroro or something? or you looked at some pictures? i mean, if you used a miror it must have been very tiring to keep those facial expressions while painting

hehe, anyway, really nice work. keep posting.
peace.

These are awesome... the first one sort of reminds me of Jim Carrey...

The second is absolutely perfect!

oh, lotsa feedback, always very inspiring...

jezebel, no come on. that's the good thing about being an artist, not a model. Ever heard of seville, a female artist that makes herself 10 time more ugly than she actually is. look at these: img1 img2

Kjetil, thx !

shizo, thx. Well I have a lot to lear, as most people do, but to answer your question... -buy a mirror and draw yourself all the time with different lightsettings. Try to study and understand and draw every little detail you see, both proportional and colors. Do this every day, and you will improve rapidly.

lukias, thx! Yes I try to experiment a lot. Also, I try really hard to increase speed of doing a picture but still try to keep a certain amount of dtails in. Well, I'm ok happy of these for now, not very, and prbably not in a week or so

superbug, thx !

themilkman, thx

justin, thx. I dig how you did yours. less brushstrokes, but still with excellent proportions. I need to work on doing things simpler but with still as much content.

capnpyro, hehe..some people tells me I look like jack nicholson when I haven't cut my hair for a while- time for a haircut

striker, thx !

snakeG, thx, hehe no we are all done with the artwork for IGI. Just a few bugs now and then. But, the game is done so nothing more to do. Lotsa spare time

sephroth, thank you, tips ?!? Observe is the only thing I can say.

yourmum, thank you. I will paint like hell from now on

Time spent, well, I guess about 30-40 min each. But, I did a few more, but only got faitly happy with these. It's something that goes fairly quick compared to totally imaginative stuff.

sear, thx, well, first one I looked at phot, the other form mirror. I just couldn't do that open mouth thing at the same time as drawing

liquid! thx ! why don't you make one ? It's really fun

that was a lot of thx's......

wow

excellent, as usual

haha , just imagine you doing the poses in front of the mirror and someone intering the room

what a situation

Jaymo · Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2000 6:17 am

Did you stare into the mirror like that the whole time til this was finished?! Haha! Man, you have cool teeth...
Like these, makes me want to try it, too. Maybe we should do a Dr*w Cl*b on "me as mad as can be"?

Cos · Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2000 1:18 pm

Joa: Very nice work! =)) The bottom face of your reminds me of this image from Remedy Entertainment. hehe. =))

Snake Grunger · Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2000 3:55 pm

Frost - Although it doesn't look as though they painted the face

It looks more of like a picture stuck on the 3D model.. Anyway, IGI is done!! Woohoo! You know what that means

Frost · Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2000 6:40 pm

Snake: Yeah... =)

(it looks like Future Crew still has a thing for texture cubes... hehehe
