Some of you might have already seen this piece. Used a pic of Tupac as reference. Everything was done by hand, including the insane design of the bandana; as a matter of fact that little part took more time than the rest of the body XD.

Great piece of work!

You've got just the right amount of detail in exactly the right places.

If you'd actually look at the piece longer than 7 seconds before commenting, you'd notice that the entire cluster of pixels is different, and it isn't a stray pixel, his nose is pierced.

sk8m8trix (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/26/2006 18:39

wow this rocks, but theres a white spot on his nose....

eckered (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 10/17/2006 15:13

PandaPlanet (Level 2 Stalker) @ 10/8/2005 13:01

Breathtaking, just breathtaking..

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 7/25/2005 06:16

It's a great piece and all, but honestly more work could have been done on the transitions between skin colors, especially on his chest. Those big blotches of color needs a LOT more dithering so that it looks smoother. That's the one and only beef I have with it. Otherwise I really love this piece.

Claudster (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/29/2005 17:50

This is a fantastic piece! I have a friend who loves 2pac,he would love this! The bandana is amazing! The detail and time really paid off!

x.KiMmI @ 6/24/2005 13:51

Alucard @ 6/9/2005 18:40

Garage Inc. (Level 3 Sergeant) @ 6/9/2005 14:16

The pixeling is great. Im not a fan of tupac, or rap in general, but the pixeling is great.

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 6/9/2005 13:12

Agree with Blueberry pie. Great job!! Favorites.

Matt Katt (Level 2 Mercenary) @ 6/9/2005 12:49

One question Iv been meaning to ask about this piece for a long time...Photoshop or MSPaint?

Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) @ 6/9/2005 12:23

The amount of work you put into the bandana really paid off, it looks great

Nice work on the rest too.
