No problem.
Its a very good site, loads of references.

So yeah, welcome.

Hey, Jim16, I finally made an account on here (should have long ago) Anyway this is a really cool pic.

And thanks for the shout out in the description

You obviously do not know what your talking about. As technique go's all I did was add basic lighting and basic texture to the wood and beard. I do however agree that it is somewhat unfinished, but thats what learning is for and why people revise there work.

i like the detail and use of colors in areas. The only thing wrong is that your not consistent with a particular shading technique.

Thanks, I thought it would add more character.

i like that you put him popping out of a picture frame,  thats kind a funny.

ahh...Oren your so sweet! stop it!
Actually carry on!

I wanted to submit someting that would do the competition justice, and look good in my gallery.
I hope I've done this.

Unfortunatly I think I've taken the word "portrait" to extensivly and hope it doesn't bring down the actual way people see it in the challenge.

Arrrr, this is great!..
i think that the red beard have no chance against ythis one!
good job jim16 :D
