Description
Sylar from Heroes.I decided to go with the sort of comic book style that the TV series employs by giving the figure a dark outline. In a way I guess this almost looks like concept art for like a game character or something. But anyways, I love the show!
Done in PS with my genius tablet with minor referance. 2 Hours
EDIT:
I fixed up the darkness of the actual character, he wasn't black enough and the lines showed through.

This is awesome! This is old-school Sylar, before Zachary Quinto came into the picture. Nothing against Quinto, but the original guy looked alot creepier.

No before Quinto they had a different guy playing him. He was a stunt dubble or something. The original guy was a lot creepier but he looked kind of like a rapist or something. Quinto was a much better choice to play Sylar. The link below takes to a picture of the original actor.

That's a cool Sylar deviation! I like how you made him almost invisible in the shadows, just like he was when he first appeared in Heroes. Scary!

Very cool, I dig the dramatic lighting and I 'got' the comic book looking and ink, before I read your description, so mission accomplished!

Oh, damn, that's got some heavy menace to it. Like the style, the dark comic book look suits Sylar to a T.

its soo cool working traditionally, theres actually so much more freedom. especially with oils. theres something there that you can't easily get working digitally.

OK, so I readjusted my screen. It looks a lot better. But I can still see the lines.

This is absolutely wicked. The contrast and lighting is amazing. The pose is so ominous but gives a simultaneous feeling of security. Donno why. Don't ask me.

Interesting. I really like the outline, somewhere in between realism and vectors. But shouldn't the inside of his coat, specifically the part between his legs, be much darker? Pitch black? Cool translucent ears..

Yea, I deliberately wanned to make that part lighter to bring out his pose, otherwise it becomes too static. anw, Thanks!
