Stephen Colbert

Tonight I Just felt like doing a portrait, so after an hour of trying to decide who I wanted to caricature, I finally settled on Stephen Colbert. He has some interesting features like that one wild ear. He was on a blue background so I decided to stick with the color scheme. I've provided the original image I worked with below for comparison. I think I'm going to do a soccer player tomorrow. I'm still looking for Heavy Metal stars and I'm taking requests provided I have a good image to work with.

George Wein ~ "Jazz Master"

I've been fixing computer problems all day today so I didn't get to do the caricature I wanted. I decided to do a quick one to have something to post tonight. I chose George Wein named a "Jazz Master" in 2005 by the National Endowment for the Arts. I did some experimenting on this one with recreating skin textures where they were totally lost. It was a good exercise and I learned a couple of tricks. It's late...off to bed.

Bill Clinton - Still Kickin'

Tonight I did a manipulated caricature of Bill Clinton. I know he's not in the news much these days but I never caricatured him before so I decided to give it a go. Me makes a great subject. I've posted the original image I worked with below for comparison. Now it's time to do something a little more wild and crazy.

My Life Morphed by Rodney Pike

Tonight I have a morphing video I created for one of my Behance Network projects which I've posted on my YouTube Channel and was put together using FantaMorph by Abrosoft. It features some of my photo manipulations and caricatures cropped for the face morphing. This was a learning process, so the next one will be much better. This is a very short video, just over 3 minutes but was a huge file size, just under 2gb so It took for ever to upload to YouTube. Hope you like it. I'll be back to photo manipulations and caricatures tomorrow.

James Hetfield of Metallica Head Caricature

This is a photo manipulated caricature head study of James Hetfield of Metallica that I used in a previous project. I thought the Heavy Metalers out there may like to see it. I'm planning on doing AC/DC next. Anyone know of any good images?

Robert Trujillo of Metallica

Tonight I have a caricature of Robert Trujillo, the bass player for Metallica. I've had some requests for metalers and Trujillo specifically. I'm working on another project so I did this while I was uploading some large files. The image I had to work with wasn't the best; so I used a little Topaz to clean it up a bit. Not the resolution I like to work with though. Here is the image I started with. I had to do a little splicing. I've also posted a video with Rob in action. He's awesome and a great subject...very animated.

Ozzy Osbourne

I've been away for a couple of days buiding my Behance Network page and putting together a few projects to get it kicked off. You should check it out. Tonight I did a quick caricature study of Ozzy Osbourne. I've always liked this image of him and I had a lot of fun tweaking it. I've also posted the original image as well as a very popular song and video by Ozzy called "Dreamer". I'm looking for some good images of Heavy Metal groups or individuals so if anyone knows where I can find some, let me know.

Below is the image I started with.
