Well this is my first attempt ever at caricatures... I wanted to give a solid thick lineart look at the beginning, but later on due to some circumstances had to go for the rough look...
I hope the subject doesn't mind... Also I asked his permission and he said it was okay...
Also before looking at the sbs, try to guess who is this :)
And as for the title... Everyone knows( and for who doesn't know), Banzai is a japanese word similar to cheers... Also it was used by ww2 jap soldier as a war cry... So when I finished the caricature... It looked like he was charging with a gun... Hence the title "Banzai" :-D
Song Inspiration for this caricature( the song which I was listening):
Pet Semetary - The Ramones
Lights & Sound - Yellow card
Jimi Hendrix - Maniac Depression
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
Anyone Seen My Baby - The Rolling Stones
There are more, but lets stop at this... :P
Edit: Made the lines darker and gave the hair a messy look... (5 years and 3788 days ago)
BOTERO would be proud.. high High HIGH marks on this one.. WOOO HOOOO (and I don't woo hoo everyone.. one more) woo hoo ... hehehe(great combination of techniques and styles)
very nice
good caricature. If it is in color, will be better
very cute rendition hehehe crumble shadow is a nice touch LOL
also... this is very on theme.. forgot to mention that
I like the black and white... his beard could be a little darker IMHO You picked one of the great talents here and it's only fitting you gave him a huge paintbrush... great job! Good luck!
. You may want to add a few more curly hairs, so it looks a bit more messy, but for the rest it looks alike! The eyes especially after working&staring at the screen for hours . In case you wanna try with color, I'd recommend a more open style, a bit like water colour and not perfectly inside the lines (but if you keep it in B/W is ok too of course). Interesting what music inspires you . Good luck!
Thx waz... Good to see ur comment here... Okay then I will give it a few fix... And as for color, I will try... But for some reason, I like caricatures in b&w...
And @ bluesparkle yeah it really does suits him... The image of him holding that giant brush was the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of making the caricature of him...
