John Dillinger revisited

I was looking through threads that I had created and noticed that I posted my original Johnny Depp as John Dillinger speed painting, but not the painting in which I took my time.

A few months ago I went back and revisited my John Dillinger painting, took my time, and am more pleased with the outcome. Johnny Depp as John Dillinger from the film Public Enemies.

Spent a lot of time on the face, even went in and added the eyeliner, meh that's sort of upsetting. :)
You're referring to the revisited painting, correct? Just wondering because the original, I agree doesn't look anything like Depp, revisit I thought did though.

I beg to differ on the face, I feelthat it looks as if it could be a movie still image. great work on this!

Holy shit. Looks damn realistic. Definitely looks like Depp. Second one looks like Luke Wilson lol.

Lol, yeah the original was done a bit after I got my tablet so the quality wasn't great even by speed painting standards. Thank you.

How long did the revisit take you?

As I said at DA, his eyes looks creepy, kinda pasted on and his gloves and gun looks plastic. Other than that top quality as always.

Few days with breaks, finished surprisingly quick by my standards.
I'll post a little step by step later today in here. I have earlier in the process where the colors are just layed down and before the details are added, I am missing the lines although in a few steps you can still see them. It won't be great because when I was first starting out I wasn't thinking that it could be a good idea, but you can see the progression in detail, mostly the face in each image.

I'll try and work on that. Thanks for the crit and compliment mate. :]

Really good, looks like him a lot.
The eyes look a bit squinted though, thats probs what makes him look less like the real thing. Otherwise, looks really realistic.

Kk, I'll have to do something about the eyes, thank ya.

Do you need a certain kind of tablet to do digital paintings of this caliber? I have a Genius tablet but something tells me it won't be sufficient lol.

Not sure, I use a wacom bamboo tablet, which is the cheapest model wacom sells, so I don't think so, but I've never used a Genius so I'm also not entirely sure.

Any tablet does btw.

I can see you took time on this one, you're getting good at proportions. Face in particular is good. Would like to see you paint something other than characters though.

I'm working on my first scenery painting which I'm hoping to finish by Christmas, the focus is on a tree, but you can see in the distance as well. It's inspired by Mokoto Shinkai's background art if you've ever seen his animated work.

Yeah i have :) sounds good, if your looking for some inspiration:

He's awesome. Looking forward to seeing the painting :)

Thanks mate, his avatar is familiar and I know I've seen some of his work before. Will watch.

He's on theluminarium.net

Some of his works are just simply fantastic :) and no problem :) I think you're capable of being as good as him, if not better, you just need to branch out from just doing characters all the time ;)

Are you serious? I thought the first one was some reference photo.
Sick work!

Good details in the face but I'm not feeling it with the clothing. HOwever the 2nd version is definitely better than the first:)

Love this man, added to treasured artwork, congrats!

Damn almost looks like a photo 0.o
