This was done as the first part of my current Illustration assignment- two portraits of well-known people, one in color, one in black and white. This is, obviously, the color one. I think I'm doing Edgar Allen Poe for the black and white one.
This one went through a lot of process, and I think it's my first really successful picture involving a human. Process included watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas at least 12 times, reading the book once, buying and looking through a copy of Ralph Steadman's "Gonzo; the Art", also numerous sketches, and a very extensive digital color study. Over all, though, I think the result is more than worth the effort. ^^
Wow I like this! I am so hardcore into Hunter S. Thompson. Ever since I saw F&L. I bought the book and also two more! I wish I could have met him... I just can't wait to buy the Special Edition DVD where there is a commentary by him!
I can't tell you how incredibly awesome this is. HST is a hero of mine (for reasons I can't really understand; I'm totally against substance abuse), so I love pretty much everything about him. The characterization just rocks.
Greatness.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
