I jiggled the pose around a bit and did a bit more work...



There's still much I don't like about it. Skin tones, face structure, foreshortening, perspective etc. But I'm getting there... slooowly. :dry:

I think the face is looking pretty good. It's got a nice intensity in those eyes. :)

EDIT: I googled images of Mr Newton and oh my G, they could all be of different people. But I think you're using a reference made when he was fairly young? And which does resemble his death mask. Though when I saw the death mask I thought it looked like a slimmer Tarantino and then...


Is it just me or could "McKay" play Mr Newton in the docudrama about his life? :p

EDIT2: Correction - it was the painting that reminded me of Tarantino, but the mask made me think of McKay.

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.

Yeah I was using that painting that crops up immediately when you search for him. I never go too far for my references. :lol:
To be honest, I'm not that bothered about the likeness (who knows what he really looked like) as long as I get the vague impression of him or someone like him. The distant eye still seems a little bothersome to me.
But... hands! :woohoo:

PS. I don't even know who that "McKay" is. :dry: *goes off to google*

I watched the Stargate movie just the other week and was entertained by Kurt Russell's perfectly flat hair. :lol:
But I have never seen a single episode of any of the TV shows. :dry:

Press that Ban Button if you must. :giveup:

And when I look back at that death mask I just see Robin Williams. :blink:

Oh you're right! But since he's also dead it wouold be difficult for him to play Newton... :dry:

Was I really stupid enough to say that?

It should really read like, "Hands?!?! :eyeroll:"

The one holding the gun is acceptable enough but I'm struggling with the one brandishing the ID badge. Gonna have to google pics of Agent Mulder and maybe even do a complete redraw of that bit. Hopefully not. But maybe. :dry:
