ChrissyK  05/28/03 @602

PhilipStraub  05/28/03 @700

very very cool stuff! Well rendered imaginative illustration that utilizes more than just good rendering skills. Well done

sometypeof  05/28/03 @705

no pencils underneath??? very good work indeed. great shading techniques for a pen.

nikko  05/28/03 @713

I sketch very gently with the ballpoint first, but I don't use pensil. I hate removing my lines, even if they were wrong! You can still se some "wrong" sketching with the ballpoint, over the neck, over the upper lip and in the upper part of the ear.

This is the craziest thing I've ever seen. You last comment was very helpful; I was just going to ask if you used a pencil sketch. This is definitely -not- a typical pen doodle. The shading is amazing, especially as it creates all the wrinkles and form of the skin. I look forward to seeing more...

ArtsAngel  05/29/03 @054

That is so cool! I kind of get tired of seeing boring photo-like portraits after a while, it's great to see some charicatures now and again. Great line work.

Sourpuss  05/29/03 @171

Wow! It's great.

What can I say? - Great carricature. Very... literally ... twisted.

elvendil  05/29/03 @531

very very nice, quite how you've got such smooth gradiaents with a ball point is beyond me!

Bikerprinse  05/29/03 @853

Just plain awesome!

wmorris  05/30/03 @105

Yes agreed, The tonal values are great. It does have a structural cubist style. Very refreshing.

TJVerhagen  05/30/03 @133

thats brilliant! Good job!

Pixeled  05/30/03 @563

Very cool

Serena  05/30/03 @599

Eilidh  05/30/03 @637

Goodness, this is absolutely wicked, brilliant, insane! I have a relative who draws in an alarmingly similar way. Keep this up! It's wonderful to see something as refreshing as your work!

SilverStylus  05/30/03 @671

I'm amazed you did this with a ballpoint - excellent work!

Inspiron  05/31/03 @200

All has been said. Amazing.

cjd  05/31/03 @344

Sweet Illustration. Love the cross hatching. Great to see something different.

shambler  05/31/03 @715

HungerArtist  06/03/03 @177

mikeholloway  06/03/03 @547

Mick Jagger, eat your heart out!

Quill  06/03/03 @564

That is incredible...and with a ball point pen! +6

LavaChild  06/04/03 @993

Nice! I don't know about you but, I like how the pen can be used for utter darkness or the very lightest hints of detail. You seem to have a great control over you medium. Nice 3d effect. Good Job!

Redfox  06/04/03 @267

Nikko, just wanted to say that your control is amazing, the deft touch of your hand is the calibre I aspire to attain. You rock.

musicianman  06/04/03 @415

wowiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! the best way to describe it is "fun". I can't call this piece a caricature, like some others here did, because it's way way too detailed. I LOVE IT!!!!

arachnide  06/04/03 @609

wooow cool

Duracel  06/04/03 @764

+8 This one is really attractive!

unreal  06/07/03 @899

xhombre  06/08/03 @008

Artimus  06/09/03 @391

Yup, great work again

LudicrousLuke  06/10/03 @159

WOW I love it make more of this stuff its genius

SeanyD  06/12/03 @101

Brilliant work there! I used to do stuff like that with ballpoint pen...maybe not as skillfully as you though! It still wont make me quit smoking though! hehe *takes a long drag of my cig* +5

MileStorm  07/11/03 @097

Yeah, very, very cool work ;D +5

Malice  07/14/03 @274

i especially like this work of urs ^_^ and it's done with just a ballpoint too! now i feel smaller than an ant. hehe. u've got some obvoius superior potential!

daddio  08/04/03 @215

This is one of my favorites on this board. I love the style. It is very much like the character in a Bill Plympton film called "Your Face". If it wasn't an inspiration for this piece then I recommend checking it out. It is so amazingly close you would flip your lid! Very nice work as are all of your others.

FrankJaeger  09/14/03 @985

The media reminds me of Escher.

juliette  01/29/04 @870

Excelent! love this kind of surreal stuff

Andy--Jones  11/05/04 @581

His mouth is slightly out of line with his nose! hahaha I'm only joking...this is brilliant!
