Le Chiffre
Movie: Casino Royale (James Bond)
Actor: Mads Mikkelsen
Info: [link]
Time Spent/Program/Reference: 10 hours, PS, Yes
-----------------
MEESTER NUMBAH! Le Chiffre is the amazingly sadistic villain from Casino Royale-- I couldn't help but be intrigued by his character. I have a mad(s) crush on... Mads Mikkelsen. (Harhar*cough*) I really wanted to take a step away from: Pretty landscapes, pretty women, harry potter-- I just wanted to do something INTERESTING.

I'm so tired, and SO glad this is finished. I have to say that I probably could've spent another 10 hours working on this.. and then more... and then I would never be done!

Final Note: I found that my speed paint project really lended to this piece a lot... Many of the techniques I used to get my speed paints done were used in this, and I think my eye has a better feel for accuracy since I've been working with so many ref photos.

GOGOGO 1st DIGITAL PORTRAIT EVAR!!!!

PS. Thanks *ChrisLocksArt for inspiring me to step away from pencil portraits and go digital. Also, the cards in the background, that you can't really see are the 6's full of Aces that Le Chiffre played in the movie) :3

EDIT! Sorry for making this spam your inbox again, but I just wanted to let you all know that in the last hour I've retouched this drawing 4 times and uploaded it 4 times... I MAY keep updating this as I get the urge, but I won't re-spam your box again <3
