Nice work man. Ive been dabbling with colour portraits. Up to about 5 or 6 now. Long way to go, but each one has got better and as each one goes by, I feel more confident and relaxed. Thats a great piece though, and Id say exceptional considering its only your 2nd.

Love it. and how the start look to be done with black?

Very nice. On a side note, whenever I see Freddy Kruger tattoos I think back to an artist friend of mine who got a realistic FK and a mild staph infection (looked much worse than it was really) to go along with it. I don't know the specifics of what caused the infection and prefer not to speculate but while it was healing it was a scaly mess and actually started to almost look more real for the duration of the treatment and healing. :)

Very nice job! I'd much rather do a portrait of scary monsters like this opposed to that of someone beautiful and famous as any deviations and flaws really show up, so best to start with gruesome rather than porcelain princesses... I've done a few marilyn monroes and I almost pass out every time from holding my breath

Very nice mate. Colour portraits are a totally different animal and require a whole different skill set. This piece shows you have the right skills to be really good at colour portraits. :)
