Comment on Christian Bale by Joruji
Absolutely AMAZING! I really thought it was a photo - I'm so glad I enlarged!
I really like the skin texture, actually - it looks quite gritty and textured (like real face
) and sort of adds to the mood of the pic, which in my mind screams subterranean vault or interrogation room, but that's just personal opinion 
Only have 1 critique and I have no right to give it, because this level of perfection is simply astounding and way beyond my reach in visual art
but I would've liked the (t-shirt?) black shirt's collar to be as rich in defined texture as the jacket. I know creating that much texture on a piece of black cloth in shadow could be mighty hard...
But as I said this detracts absolutely nothing from the painting as it truly is remarkable in its perfection!
So skin-texture + old (and probably a little frayed off-screen) military style jacket + big spotlight really makes me wonder what the story behind the story of this shot would be.
Anyway, it's fantastic! Sorry if this portrait is a much older post than warrants comment - but in my opinion if I Fav something I have to comment - it's only polite (and it's a pet peeve when others fail to do so...)

Thank you so much for your comment, it's really very much appreciated 
This painting is the one I like the most from my gallery, and it's because it has been the hardest and maybe the longest to get finished. I'm really proud of the result but,I spent so much time painting these damned textures

It's absolutely my pleasure! I can only imagine the amount of passion, energy and time that you poured into this piece and I can truly say it paid off! And, yes, the textures definitely too!
