Ooh your hair painting skills are getting so good. There is something totally awesome about badass old people. Maybe it's because you don't have to worry about them falling and breaking a hip. Great firm expression. Very realistic eye details with all of its wrinkles. The wall texture is perfect but the colors really blend in with his hair. Some orange highlights and purple backlights might help with some variation.

Haha, maybe. I remember my Japanese teacher once broke his shoulder while playing badminton and everyone was "How the hell did that happen?!?" lol
Thank you so much! You're right about the blending effect. Tends to happen quite often. I really need to take care of that. D:

Badminton? No, seriously. How the hell does that happen?

oh god yum... I never thought I would want an older guy besides Sean Connery, but here it is... Does he have an accent? And the skin and wrinkles...

I didn't use many texture brushes here. Most is painted with a simple round brush. However, I used a leather texture for the final touch. :3

Wow, this looks very great. The hair is so awesome and also the lights and the shadows

Amazing piece, the play of the light and shadow really gives it a nice depth.

He turned out really well too. I wish I had the patience and practice necessary to such detailed work.

It wasn't even that much work - just adding some details here and there that catch the eye.

I still find it impressive. 
I need to practice more.

Oh hot damn, that looks good! Just about 2 hours? Giiirrrl, you're getting good! All those subtleties in the skin, especially the wrinkles, makes me envious!
Well, keep this up

Haha, I had a lucky day.

Wow, ich find es immer wieder cool, wenn KΓΌnstler Γ€ltere Menschen malen!
Nicht, dass ich die attraktiv finde... (XD), aber es ist immer wieder cool zu sehen wie die Leute mit den Falten umgehen! Und die FΓ€ltchen um die Augen sind ja grad mal einfach nur klasse! Sieht alles so Weise und Erfahren aus!

Haha, danke! Der Jugendwahn ist mittlerweile richtig langweilig - ΓΌberall sieht man dieselben Gesichter. Da tut ein wenig Abwechslung auch gut. :3
π: 0 β©: 1
Ja vermutlich.
Falten und Makel bringen auch ein wenig Charakter in eine Figur
Das ist wie mit einem Auto! (XD bisschen komisch der Vergleich, aber naja^^)

Details. So. Epic! I have absolutely no idea how you create crazy real skin textures, especially aha- old ones, but it's incredibly realistic! My favorite part is how the detail gets the viewer to focus on the face, then zoom out to the more simplified areas :]

I don't know either! They happen by accident. Seriously, I had so many problems with the portrait of Keiran - but here everything just fell into place and I don't know how.

Oh dang- you should go WiP this and analyze how you did it
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, probably. I always forget to save intermediate steps. I also use comparably few layers.
All I still have from this is the sketch of the face, the basic blocky colours and the finished layer (and a couple of adjustment layers).
π: 0 β©: 1
That might be a little hard to break down 
π: 0 β©: 1
I usually paint over everything and just keep one layer - so still having these different 3 is a lot. XD
I actually sketched it first (layer 1), then made some basic colours (layer 2) and then copied both and merged the copies into a 3rd layer that I would paint on until the portrait is finished. (layer 1+2 remain hidden at this point)

Just a few brush strokes at the right places... :3

He would've made a great wizard with this look! Too bad he didn't have as much talent for magic.
This is awesome and you ironically finished it not too long after I posted my potrtait of his descendant. Altogether you did an amazing job of illustrating my description.
Badass old people ftw indeed! ^^

Haha, being old, white-haired and beardy does that to you, I suppose. XD
I'm glad you like it!

Also, 2 hours?!?!?!? How? HOOOOOWWWW?!
It took me several hours to do mine...XD
Ah well, it was my first, removing the comic-style lines was the equivalent of taking off the training wheels.

I don't know. It just happened. 
π: 0 β©: 1
If only I could do stuff like that in 2 hours. I'd have enough time to do 2. xD

Wow Respekt, das hast du echt toll gemacht! Gerade Γ€ltere Menschen sind ja beim Malen eine
