John Malkovich

It is finished, the final version of my vision of John Malkovich. I really didn't like the first try and I was frustrated that I didn't express my true feeling about his character and portrait so the decision was made: ''Do another one''. The progress is in that blue cyan tone and I did want a monochrome style to this piece, but I wasn't sure of the blue tone so I changed it at the end, because I wanted him to feel a little sneaky with that bad ass attitude and that ''I'll kill you m...f...'' look. Hope you like it and have a nice night.
