Haha, ulterior motives asides yes! Interestingly, I find it hard to "colour" people I haven't met, so there must be something in their tone of voice and mannerisms that gives me the synesthesia experience.

Next in the series! I'm aware of the strangeness of the right side eye, which is something I've worked to fix since scanning (but CBF scanning it again).

I will seriously consider your offer, Ody! I've got a couple more to do out of obligation, but I whip them up pretty quickly and can't see myself burning out yet.

My favourite part of that picture is the hair. It flows very well indeed, but then again I draw hair with a ruler...

I'm going to try and imagine around that picture.... Looks like she's just cleaned the condensation off the window in her car and has seen you looking at her.

I'm not sure what to say about the right side eye though!

Amazing ink work there Ped!

She is very talented. I have no idea how long she must spend on all these!

I've been following her work for a while now, and some of them really are masterpieces.

Thanks Jansz! I should do a few more of these, but my friends keep giving me crappy webcam images to work with, and they're really not helping me as references.

I can't believe the inspiration for these are pixelated webcam shots! Incredible!

Nah, the two I've done here were worked from real shots I took of my friends while we were dicking about in the last two years.
