Artist's Comments

Battlestar Galactica's Admiral William Adama.

Used a completely different brush size/style and painting method than I used for Apollo ( [link] )

It's the first time i've EVER done this way and I'm a little surprised at the outcome, you can see my brush strokes and yet... I swear it looks 10x better and more realistic than the other one. What do you guys think?

I kinda stumbled on doing it this way (hard edged) by accident when i was messing around with brushes and styles (since i'm a noob with brushes) and I think I will have to keep on doing it this way it seems.

Comments welcome and appreciated.

It's awesome, the fact you can see brushstrokes is irrelevant if you capture the spirit of the subject.
Shame you dint give him an adamatache tho!

Thanks heaps. I'm still trying to figure it out myself but yeah brush strokes tends to make most stuff look better.
