Young Jack Nicklaus by Arrjay

Here you go Marcus Aurelius. You wanted a golfer and I give you " The Golfer".
I love everything about this shot. The pose, the vintage clothing, those fish belly fore arms and how about the way he could star down a ball. Eat your heart out Tiger.

KN, thanks. I worked on it 2 nights after work. About 8 hours. The face alone took about 4.
If you look at the original photo you will see he has some nasty snarly teeth. It was tough to get those right. Again like the girl last week, one pixel off and it changes the expression.

ahahah

I am wondering how I missed this. 8 hours on a DS screen would make me curl up in a sobbing, twitching ball, but to see the results of such a long haul is just great. I particularly like the rendering of his left arm (our right) and the clothing folds there about. :)

Munin, yeah a lot of the time was spent retouching because my screen wore out and pixels would shoot in a one line.I wore out the buttons also. Bought a new one so It's Rococagogo.
