I had done this last week and wasn't sure if I should post it or not but I guess thats the point of this blog so here it is. I couldn't decide on a title because anything I thought of was adding a lot more meaning to the image and it wasn't speaking for itself. So here it is unfiltered.

Nico Bellic

Niko Bellic of Grand Theft Auto IV

Here is an image I did for Official Playstation Magazine UK which is in their latest issue. I had a hard time getting it to look exactly like the game model because I started out with an illustration that I realized later was a bit different than the game. So after the fact, I started messing with it to try to get him closer to the game model.

This image involved a lot more illustration on my part than the other ones too since I was changing the lighting compared to my source image.

Anyway, enjoy!

* UPDATE * ugh,.... you'd think after all this time I would have spelled Niko right. thanks Brian.

Been a bit quiet here lately as I catch up on some errands and work. A word about upcoming things; I'll be posting the Nico Bellic image next week probably on Monday or Tuesday as thats when it hits newsstands in the UK. At the risk of losing a bit of my audience I'm going to be taking a break from untoonings as I feel like exploring some other concepts. I'll probably come back to them from time to time as I'm inspired to.

In the mean time, here are a few neat sites I've come across this week.
