TrueBlood vs Twilight

The entire thing is a digital painting. NOT PHOTOMANIPULATION. Not that the detail is that good, but you never know. Someone might make the mistake of thinking it's a photo.

In order to get the perfect likeness of each character, I essentially had TrueBlood and Twilight playing on my computer. Whenever someone posed in such a way I thought I could make work, I'd pause the movie/show, and get to work, using the still as reference. Often times I had to cycle through multiple shots of say.. Sookies face, and then search for a better shot of her uniform. The whole process took absoloutely ages, but in the end I was left with a painting that was literally as close to the orignal cast's likeness as I could possibily get, while it still being a painting.

I spent eons on this. And I dedicate it to my wife, Sarah, without whom I wouldn't be where I am now. Loves you.

PS.. Can I sell prints of this? Is that legal? I dunno, fuck it. Remember, if you like, pass it around! <plots for world domination>

EDIT: TWEAKED all the things you guys critiqued. (Other than conflicting lighting on faces, but tbh, I'm a fairly poop realism artist and I'm just glad I was able to get actor-likeness.)
