	It would be really funny. And he looks so much alike, so I think that you must continue the piece :D

	Thanks! I did my best making bigger hands, whiter hair and bigger ears. Also I added one frame which is obviously far from finished Edited by Hapiel - 30 April 2013 at 4:33pm

	hands look good now. I think you could make the ears bigger still, but depends on whether you want to make it more of a caricature or not,

	No way that he will do the dood dance! I think this is the amount of frames I want to use. I was thinking about 6 frames instead of 8 for some time, but he seems to look better if I add one more standing frame. I don't want to smooth it out even more, that would reduce the funnyness I am afraid..

	I think for maximum funny you should exaggerate his butt in the left/right frames!

	The standing frames lack lighting.

	Wouldn't it be a little more fitting if he was wearing a blue tie, instead of red?

	Very nice! Anyway maybe you should ask mods if a full body portrait is being accepted for this challenge. I did one with Jeff Bridges as Lebowsky and it wasn't added to the challenge: The Dude Edited by Joseki - 02 May 2013 at 12:00am

	*Originally posted by Joseki* Very nice! Anyway maybe you should ask mods if a full body portrait is being accepted for this challenge. I did one with Jeff Bridges as Lebowsky and it wasn't added to the challenge: The Dude Auch, I did not think about that! To me a portrait has two meanings, one being the face only picture, one being a picture or description or anything that gets close and is only about one single person/subject. Perhaps the English definition of a portrait is different, since wikipedia does not mention my second description.. Is the head prominent enough? I made his stance wider, I hope to finish this today since I will be gone for the weekend! Oh and the tie color, I think red looks much nicer. Yes, of course blue is the standard color but I could find many pictures with obama wearing red too! Edited by Hapiel - 02 May 2013 at 2:31am
