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 3819 days ago)

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...
