The "Black" Baron


Tonight I got frustrated with that Tennis magazine job...poor source pics. Anyhow, I decided to finish up "The Black Baron". The sneak peak I posted yesterday. Obviously Obama was the perfect fit. This was a pretty intense manipulation. I did a good bit of research on The Red Baron to try and assemble a uniform that looked authentic. I used a mess of source images on this one. I totally lost count. I literally spliced pieces of leather together to make his coat and there was a lot of texture reproduction. It's about 95% complete. I see several little things that need tweaking but I'll do that later.

I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
