Why is it that so many sceners are drawn to depicting jazz musicians in their work? On its face the alto sax couldn't be further from the Commodore... but on the other hand, aren't sceners hepcats in their own right? Modern-day artists toiling away in obscurity, pushing the limits of an art form many consider dead, masters of a genre which mandates both mathematical precision and boundless creativity?... Maybe not.

Preamble aside, this is my first foray into Petscii, and I'm loving it. Much thanks to Christoballs and to ptoing for encouragement. My reference image was this picture of Dizzy Gillespie, who I most definitely did not pick as a subject solely so I could make that pun.

Now uploaded on CSDb! (thanks again ptoing) - https://csdb.dk/release/?id=195169

Oh Manupix, there is sooooo much about this piece that I want to change in hindsight - use of dithering instead of the darker brown being the biggie. (And I'd probably make the sleeve more of a straight line rather than the weird sorta-zigzag thing that's going on there.)

That's one brave experiment, and a nice job too!

I'm a bit bothered by the use of dithering on his cheek and hand, which makes them appear a bit messy when they should be the visual focus of the piece.

You might have followed the ref closer there with brighter flat highlights.

Long live jazz music!

Wow, now that is something. I love all the detail here (the cufflink particularly made me smile even though it seems so unimportant – it just shows the love that's gone into this). Just thoroughly wonderful work (also, love the tags).
