yesterday i was working on a caricature of nero from the new star trek , and i came to the conclusion that i need to exclude a few key identifiers for black and white ink drawings:
1) facial tattoos. eh, they were stupid in the first place.
2) facial scars. as black marks, you can't tell what they are.
3) beard stubble. tough call, cause without it he looks like any other romulan.
a couple of these can be solved in the coloring phase (when applicable). i like the bottom right version best, where i changed the color of the scar lines and filled in a beard shape with a multiply layer.
now i just need to draw him beating the snot out of spock.
UPDATE 05.21.09:
so, there was a good reason why i had so much trouble finding photo references for eric bana's "nemo"; that wasn't his character's name. it's friggin' NERO. i have shamed myself.
