Artist's Comments

My house is redecorating, and part of this involves us inserting each other (NOT in an X-rated way!) into famous works of art. So this is Erik as Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man!! Photo and life references used.
I also intend to put some "mirror writing" on the final version to hang ... except it will be Tengwar!!! :evil: muahahahahaha!!!
Medium: Mechanical pencil on sketchbook paper
Time: about 3 hours or so.

SHOULD I INK THE OUTLINE????
Critique please!!

oh also the apple logo is (c) Apple

EDIT: Added a background and changed the line color!!! Thanks to *Gold-Seven's tutorial for that idea.

OK another edit: the model has joined dA!! Go say hi to ~DownerShield!

Hahah, it's very good! But I'm curious, why use the apple logo?

For decency's sake, I didn't want to draw "bits," and he's a rabid Mac user, so it seemed to fit. When I first showed him the idea he fell on the floor laughing, so I think it's good :D
Also, do you think I'd gain or lose anything by inking this? Actual size is about the size of the fullview, and it will be framed and hung on the wall, possibly aged also.

I think it could look really neat inked in different ways. Especially with an aged look (tea staining or something).

How do you like what I've done here in Photoshop? Is that sort of the idea you had?

Yes~ But now that you've done that.. I don't think it needs inking so much...

i agree :D I think I'll keep it this way.
Thanks for all your input! :heart:
