Mastermind - The Music Itself.

Before anyone asks - no, this is not Johnny Depp/Jack Sparrow. I assure you that it's nothing unusual if you see the likeness there somewhere, though. Anyway, this is something way better: Tuomas Holopainen, the one-of-a-kind composer/lyricist/keyboardist/mastermind/soul of Nightwish. He's the music itself.

Pencil drawing, colour layer added on computer. Very typical for me.
This is not something you're supposed to stare nose close to the screen, so please, back off a bit. I prefer to watch this from at least a couple of meters away from the screen myself.

Maybe I wouldn't call this as my masterpiece but I think this is already one of my favourites among all my work and probably the best portrait I've ever made. This was not intended to be photorealistic; all I wanted was enough likeness to make it recognizable. I hope it's there. I've been staring at this for a couple of weeks and countless hours now and to be honest this is too close to me at the moment that I could have an opinion about it.

Sorry for the watermark thing. I really don't want this to end up to wrong places, especially not without my permission.
