Artist's Comments

This is a portrait I did of Anthony Kiedis, the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, in honor of Stadium Arcadium when it came out. This was about a 40hr+ painting using Photoshop.

It is purely a technical study from photo reference. I wanted to practice some new Photoshop techniques with the grid method, texture and color dynamic brushes.

If you are interested in how I create these types of painting you can view the steps to a similar piece of artwork here:

"The work put into it is utterly amazing. Not only does the subject have realistic skin and hair, but the fabric looks so real, as does the sweat on his skin. I had to do a double take when I first saw this to make sure I wasn't hallucinating."

Are driven by the winds and a more serious misfortune;
The towers fall down, and the high mountains
Get struck by lightening."

:#1: This beautiful piece shows great skill in handling lighting and value, texture... in short, all of the factors that contribute to a realistic piece of work. Therefore, I have chosen it to be featured in the news article, That’s NOT a photo?! Vol. 2
Congratulations, and keep up the great work! :D :D
