I think it's a good likeness, although without knowing it's Keyser there's not a lot there to suggest it (unless someone was already a hardcore fan). I would also suggest softening the background color. Either increase the Lightness/Brightness or decrease the Saturation (Photoshop terms). The color is very rich and moves to the front too much. My last crit would be the devil side's eye. It looks rather flat. Overall I think it's a very cool portrait, and I really liked that movie. And I'm really jealous that I can't afford a stylus tablet. I know how much the Bamboo costs, too  |

thanks for the comment, i wanted the background to be quite dark coz i wanted to bring the keyser forward and i have a tendency to use bright colours in the back and fore ground coz i like really vibrant images.
funny u say bout the bamboo, im actually guna go back to traditional art coz i miss have a tangible orginal to my work!! lol

I've been thinking that exact thing!! I've done some correcting and composing in Photoshop, and those images are my only existing versions... unless you make prints!! You could have the "prime" print be your "original" and keep it in a sleeve in your portfolio or wherever... in the event of a crash having a hardcopy archive is wicked important! We're at a crossroads, my friend!
