Description
Amazing what a little escapism will do for your concentration!
HEAVILY referenced-- as in I stole the colour scheme and based his pretty little head on about two dudes, I'm not that good >.>' But yeah. HOURS and HOURS sunk into this snot! NYYYYYYYYYUUUHHHH *headdesk*This photo-realism stuff is giving me a headache! Never again!
The lindt bunny on his chest was fun. The hare wasn't my design, but more an image I plucked off of google and copied.
-- In fact, this is my cheating piece.

This man is beautiful! Can I have him? He looks so real. You obviously nailed down what you were trying to accomplish because he is amazing, he looks real, and I want to glomp him. I especially love the details of his ink, and of his hair. His face looks so smooth and kissable, and wow. You did an amazing job, and I applaud you for your beautiful skills. Very different and wonderful piece. I hope to see a lot more like this one, because I could wrap my mind around a whole story for him, in just one breath.

Marlowe: So am I Friday nights! ;D
*pushes him out the way* Oof! Really?? Girl in guys clothes or guy in girls? --I don't mean to freak you out or anything by being too forwards, so feel free to kick me if I get too personal-- just gender as a topic on the whole fascinates me! Especially those that break from the traditional binary system and really screw with peoples heads!
I think it's an old ass oppressive system anyway, needs to go out the window!
So how did you start?

Im a girl that cross dresses in guy clothes. When I was 8 years old I asked my parents for a sex change because of all the cousins I grew up with I'd rather play the boy games then the girl ones. My mom wanted a girl and always dressed me up in frilly dresses in did my hair and I purposely got them dirty and messed up (trying to show a point!) so she stopped. At 11 she died and I was raised by my dad, brother, and uncle my dad was never good at shoping so I got hand-me-downs. And I pretty much stuck with the look, also for the fact guy clothes are SO much more comfortable then girls. Im to self concious for the "pretty/cute" stuff so I just wear the guy close. Also for the fact Im bisexual I've had both boyfriends and girlfriends (but never at the same time) thats just how I am.

Sorry to hear about your mama.
But hmmm, you usually know what you're tastes are from an early age! I remember when the matrix first came out-- fell in LOVE with the girl with the real gorgeously dyke bleach blonde hair... I must have been about 9 or 10 or something... *scratches back of head* I told my ma I wanted to be like her and she pulled a face that haunted me for months after!
Anyway, good on you! *high fives* See I'm completely with you with the guys clothes ordeal-- lord only knows they've got the FAR better deal when it comes to comfort! Besides, they always look good too!
Screw the gender binary! ^^
*she says wearing a waist training corset that's got it in for her blood and oxygen supply ¬_¬* see now you make me wannna find the nearest mahoosive T-shirt and pair of boxers at hand... noo... must. Not. ruin. week. of. good. work. X_X

Aw x3 I remember when I was little I saw this woman with a hot pink mohawk and told my parents that was ugly and I'd NEVER do that. Guess what, when I was 16 I did just that. Ahaha XD

I think the shadows under his chin could be a bit darker. But this is pretty good otherwise! Again, I love the subtle shading of his body and skin, and you're good at realism! You've done well on the tattoo as well , even if it isn't your design. It's got that tattoo on skin look about it ^^
I had fun spotting all the little details, too, like it his bellybutton piercing and the names on his chest. What's behind the nature of those names, might I ask? ;D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooooh! Come to think of it, I think you're onto something on the shadow-- I need to add a smidge of body hair as well, change his head hair a touch (I did it last so it suffered greatly! D
---The tattoo is just an added layer with low opacity colour bashed over it-- easy to do works like a charm! ;D
Hehehe as for the names... he says he takes notches on the bedpost VERY seriously!
I called bull and got him to kind of sort of got him to admit they are all important people. Tom is his adopted brother of sorts, he winds him up like anything, named his female kitten after him and took great pleasure in walking around the camp (he's a gypsy) banging a tin plate with a spoon and screaming after Tom
Meet Tom: [link]
Ummm... Rosie was a one night romance of sorts.
Serena was his best friends (Topaz's) mother-- who he'd flirt with relentlessly. After she grew ill and died he put her name on his chest as a form of mourning.
Jesse is his OTHER adopted brother, he's much younger and introduced him to the camp (that later adopted him) after they met in the doctors (Jesse refused to talk as a kid and Marlowe wouldn't shut up. They made a wonderful match! <3 He ended up there because his compulsive habits were getting out of hand) he fondly names Jesse 'Sly B*tch' and got him to eat slugs for the giggles a few times, at least before the kid went all ghetto on their collective asses!
Meet Jesse: [link]
And Topaz... she's another kid in camp, the illegitimate child of a scandalous, greasy toerag and Marlowe will be damned before he lets her forget it
And an unfinished Topaz: [link]

Awww. That's so sweet XD You're marshmallow underneath, aren't you, Marlowe?
Lol, Sly Bitch >> Nice nickname. And he got him to eat... slugs? Ewwww. That's unsanitary, dude. You're a very, very bad boy.
Ohohoho, does Marlowe have a soft spot for her then? Haha. Not made of stone, are ya?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He'd like to clarify that he never claimed to be of stone; more jelly! Strawberry flavour! All the girls love strawberry!
Oh he's a traitor to his own male ego!
Hahaha I love it! You always seem to rile my characters up!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love strawberry, but not jelly << Ick. Too sweet and wibbly wobbly and... bleh.
*tips hat* It's a skill ;D

Referenced or not, you're still an incredible artist! The face looks so real... what program do you use?

PHHHSSHHHH! *hand flail*
Photoshop I'm afraid. I'm kind STUCK on it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No waaaay you used Photoshop- it looks so good and shiny and stuff~! *A* I have to use Corel if I wanna fail at try realism.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh photoshops easy once you kind of figure all the brushes and settings and stuff out! Helps having a good tablet too! I pretty much use it the same as I would colouring pencils, only with a back button!
Never heard of corel! ^^' What's it like?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's quite good, though I'm not and I got it free with my tablet, so yeah. The pencil setting on it is really nice.
