Description

I'm not sure if this should go in portraits or fantasy..?
It's supposed to be Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, but I don't think it really looks all that much like him. I think it's mostly because his hair is so dark in the photo (poster) I used but.. something about this seems very severe. And Martin doesn't really look severe. It probably also has something to do with the fact that the eyebrows are very dark. I've redone them three times, and will probably redo them again once my christmas gifts & the dnd club poster is done.

Anyway, I guess I like this. I mean I was very proud for the last week and it's probably one of the best (if not the best) digital paintings I've done but.. something about it just seems weird. I dunno.

Critiques/comments/suggestions are always appreciated!
Also, this isn't done but I figured I'd upload it and update the deviation once I get a substantial amount of work done on the background, his clothing and his eyes.

i get what you mean about the seriousness of his expression. with that look i half expect there to be some sort of explosion in the background XD

in all seriousness, this is quite possibly one of if not my favorite portrait you've done.
KEEP UP THE FANTABULOUS WORK MY DEAR AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!
