Description of my portrait;
Okay, so I had Nax aka. David.
I wanted to make David look his age, an old man basically. I wanted to focus heavily on the contouring and wrinkled shapes in face to enhance his age. Beautiful; I must say. I have him his traditional triangle shaped beard on his chin, furry old man eyebrows and his parted styled old man hair which is of course grey and black messy styled.
Nax is an extremely boring person, he is very mono-tone and going through all of his pictures I wanted to keep the background simple so it doesn't take away from viewing how much of an old fart he actually is. That's why I have no background because the focal point of my portrait screams, OLD CRAZY BASTARD.
The starts around his head represent, blindside. Because little does Nax know I want to blindside his ass pretty soon and it also means crazy and just dumbfounded. Not because he is a super star.
That's all, bye.
Inspiration;
I used this photo of Nax as inspiration for my portrait. No I did not want to copy a photograph straight onto paint and copy it detail for detail. My portrait is unique. I wanted my own portrait to kind of display how I perceive Nax in cartoon form. So I focused on all the wrinkles in his face. The grey hair and his facial structure with the real defined lines and wrinkles ERRYWHERE. I wanted to give it a sheek old man look. I wasn't going to do a pretty beach background or make anything pretty in the background for Nax because he is a creep old 48 year old man. This is his mug shot after playing with BK and Ryan in the sand pit
shade.
