Correct! when I looked back at the pic I was assuming people would think it was sci-fi based or something, but to my memory that's exactly what his face was like.

You're up!

I actually thought of Hotline Miami for some reason.

I can see why you'd think that. But seriously, I just checked out a faces of Max Payne video. Some of the faces are brutal.

They all have one thing in common, they all look severely constipated.

Don't know if you know but the consensus on Max Payne's facial expression was that he looks constipated. The developers later included a reference to it in Alan Wake and even created this gif, a link to which would be found in form of a QR code located within the game world of Alan Wake (and yes, it's actually the author of Max Payne who also represented Max in the cutscenes and who Max Payne's 3D model is designed after).

Edit: Okay, I just noticed that you actually included "constipated" in your previous pics' name. I presume you already knew the stuff I mentioned. :P

Edit 2: Oh God, even tinyE mentioned constipation and I didn't notice it. A clear sign that I'm tired and should go to bed (oh yeah, 3 AM - I REALLY should).

I didn't know too much about it until I just started reading up on it, the video made me curious. Didn't know the faces were the developers themselves in the first games, and I missed all the references in the Alan Wake games somehow.

This talk show bit from Alan Wake makes a lot more sense now.

edit: Oh god something happened with the url tags send help.

edit edit: fixed, BOOM.

Relax, I mention constipation in all my posts.

All skill levels are welcome.
And this thread often halts for days, so don't sweat taking some time.
Still, if you don't feel like drawing, you don't feel like drawing. That's just fine, too.

BONUS ROUND

to illustrate the desired skill level of drawings

That's actually pretty good, seriously. It's got a Big Band Great Gatsby vibe to it. Mind you I have no clue what it is but I'm totally digging it's artistic merit.

I think I do, because it was always something that interested me and I actually watched a video about it yesterday.

Haha, it's actually well done.

I've never been tempted by Leisure Suit Larry, but I suspect that that is a lounge lizard.

Not in, but I totally know that one too! "Never take career advice from Joe Piscapo!"

I think you made it look too good. It certainly beats all stuff I have submitted.
