Holmes & Ian (my original)

Medium: PS 5.0
finished: July 20th 2005

8D so maybe 2 or 3 people in the world remember the photo! Girls morphed into guys! The most challenging part was obviously the BG. it was straight reffed. Closer to (our) right I stopped understand what was going on with the BG because it was covered in the ref, hahaha. As you can see I had trouble with the framed picture here.. I admit it kind of looks like a window but I altered it many times and this was the best I could do!
I didn't really think of the text as the idea of the pic, so I added the key more or less near the end. Though in my mind, Fake should be the drunk one, not holmes. I guess I was drawing too much of the FI combo and I changed to draw holmes instead *heart*. Plus holmes is a family man and shouldn't be socializing after work!! and did you know that jayce was suppose to be ian's original partner?? jayce used to have pink girly hair and glasses (T_T);;;;;;;;;;;;; many things have changed since then.....
I am talking to myself.
It's summer, aka party time, so don't DRINK and DRIVE (no error this time)! Or don't drink at all!!! Or don't drive at all !! Haha
the colors are kind of haywire. Many dull colors but also many bright colors at the same time. Where is the light source?? it's obviously magical! It's rare for me to draw ian smile without him looking really really weird, but I think I managed to capture a genuine expression on him this time!
Glass is impossible to do. IMPOSSIBLE. I am vaguely impressed with my patience
personal photo reference used! done in a sitting/night! Koyar says ogata should be the sexy bartender (oh no! bunnysuitogatabartenderwithfishnets!)
