This face was just excelent for a portait on black paper. I might redo him in oils some day.
The original was kinda screwed up, cause I had it laminated and it becam to dark. But it's fixed up a bit in photoshop.
Artist Reply: I know man. It used to be brighter but I laminated it, wich wasn't a very good idea. That kinda ruined it, that's why I'm gonna redo it in oils.
