The people belong... to themselves. Silly.
All painting done in Painter 8, text & border in Photoshop as well as cropping/resizing.
It's funny, at first I couldn't wait to finish it. I was excited, exuberant, vibrant, etc., etc. And last night I couldn't wait to finish it because I couldn't stand to look at it anymore. xD Doesn't help that I was wired on caffeine.
I stopped looking at the reference half way into it so the colors look more... blue-er than the original. Well, at least on his clothing. I'm not sure if the texture looks canvas-y or burlap-ish like in the reference. I just thought "screw it" and went with the flow.
If you notice something astray... I've probably noticed it too. And I don't feel like fixing it. X3
Huzzah for cheap backgrounds. Suppose it's time to fall into the norm of painting JRockers now.

Hi-res version was off line for a few months. Oops. It's back up now. =]
