The assassin, Crash, from my story Cat's Eye. I'm running a contest for people interested in winning a free copy of the book - you can find a link to it here: [link]

I'm not happy with this. The sketch was good, but somehow when I painted it the eyes got a bit too high, and then the neck was at the wrong angle, and then the hair messed up, and so after days and days of tweaking I have finally given up that it's a lost cause. It's my best portrait so far I guess, but some day I'm going to have to redo it from scratch. There's just too much stuff I don't like about it. :sigh:

That being said, enjoy! :D

WOW, The color balance and the skin tone. It looks like the real deal. I wonder what will your next paint be at this rate. Good job with the eyes :D

Perhaps you think it's a lost cause, but I think he's simply beautiful. As they say, it only looks incorrect to the one who birthed it, but to everyone else, it's a perfect composition. I especially find myself lost in all the strokes so rich and deep. If this were a print, I'd buy it. What's the full-size version?

I have the full sized version available but I didn't upload it because it's 8x10 300dpi and I wasn't planning on submitting it as a print. If you want though, I can change that. :)

Looks great... I don't see anything wrong with the eyes, but if you think it is too high, you can try moving the mask up a little, like just add a bit at the top so it goes farther up the face. The hair does look a bit clumpy on his left. Overall, it looks really good.
