HOMIGAHZ FRIGGING DD. :love: I love you all and I'm sorry if I can't get back to everyone who faved + Watched! I am replying to all comments though! :glomp:

EDIT:// I actually didn't change as much as I thought I would, just because it didn't seem to need it. I darkened some lines, fixed some shading and highlights, added some more texture and saturated the colours in places. And I added the smudged background. I really wanted to add some blood splatter, and I tried doing to Spark brush trick, but it was too small and it just looked dumb so I didn't bother. >< Cheers. BTW, this is about 50-60% of the original size.

Now equipped with my attractive signature, which is ridiculously hard to do with my right hand. >< Hoyes.


Reproducing Newspaper fonts for two days straight makes Snappy want to suicide.

Anyway, behold Michael C. Hall as television's favourite serial killer, Dexter.
I haven't seen Season 2 yet, so no spoiler-like comments. :k

There's a reason nobody (that I've seen) has drawn this ref from the shoulders down. There's just too many little irritating details.

Also, I was bored with straight realism, so I changed the photos on the newspaper to other promo shots, and made it more of a conceptual piece. That being, Dexter at work and Dexter at work .

Cheers.
I think mini-Dexter behind the blood screen is rather adorable.

Comments and crit are <3

I can't find anything to critique. Seriously. :wow:

Though I think a black background might look interesting on this... you're incredible with a mouse. :jawdrop: Go give your fingers a rest!

I was thinking so too, with the black. With the colour tinting he shouldn't fade in too much. :nod: I'll probably give that a go.
Thanks!! ;P I think I will.

:omg: Dexterdexterdexterdexter...

I can't really see anything to critique because...damn... that's really, really awesome...but I did notice that the newspaper looks like it's been dunked in water. It's not distracting though.

As an aside, you use a mouse?! I didn't know that, seriously. :XD: It must take a lot of patience...

Hehehe, I definitely cheated on the ads by blacking them out, on the back page, and the outlines could probably be more defined...

Aye, too poor for the tablet! Thanks, mate. :D

Amazing work. I really like the little Dexters on the newspaper. Critique, hmm maybe a different background, if just a simple one like now, maybe a little more in a clean, metallic look, i think that could fit good to Dexter.

Swallow your horror and let it nourish you - come with me and sing the song of misery - share my world!

:nod: I'll play around with the background once I've fine-tuned everything else.
Thank you very much!!
