That's amazing Nobbs, you really are a true talent. Captured him perfectly.

Nice!! That is really well done. I always saw him as a bit bigger in mass, but the features are just as I pictured him, one bad ass mofo!

Great job dude. Do you mind if I post my version here in this thread? That way we could have all the entries in one thread...

@ Corporal Nobbs - that is a very very nice portrait. I like it very much indeed.

@Urb - great idea :p

Great drawing Nobbs.

Is it me or is there also a small hint of BA Baracus in it (eg the jawline and the beard, atleast these parts reminded me of that guy)

Anyway, greatly done.

Looking forward to the other drawings

Oh man, I looked at this and immediately thought of the, "This man isn't just good at killing, he enjoys it". The guy looks like a god damned cold blooded killer. Nice friggin work mate!

His eyelashes? Haha what's wrong with the eyelashes? I think they're fine.

Dayum, that's good work. Nobbsy, you certainly nailed the expression, although I think the actors' natural expression suits.

Is it permitted to post pics of the artists' influence?

Those are some massive cheekbones.
Nice work dude :)

I love how you made him look so big. Kalam moving faster than the roadrunner greased up with cheetahblood while dragging that gut around would be most impressive :D

Wow!

That is your best work I've seen on this forum until now. Your version actually looks more the way I imagine Kalam than my version does.





sorry if I'm spaming the thread...

nice work on the faces peoples! just read a scene where he's described in GotM.. busy day at work :)
"Rallick looked up as the heavy-set man entered the bar.."
"..horn-handled, silver pommeled long-knives tucked into the mans narrow belt."

I picture him fairly ripped and big armed, but stocky/barrel-chested.. like Grims
