What medium are you using? I think the head is a tad to big...the giant afro-splotch dosen't help it look smaller. 8)
If it were me I would make it more unique than the painting it's based of off and do some shading and such on Jimi himself. Would look even more trippy then, IMO, with a graphic guitar and crazy background, but somewhat realistically shaded face and clothes.
Nice job though. At least you get off your butt and do paintings, unlike yours truly, who can't get the &*&(^ing guitar out of hand. :)
The king of rock, some say lives
the lizard king, is surely dead
the king of France, lost his head
the King of Kings... bled

it's acrylic on canvas (40inch x 40inch).
i know what you mean by the head size...but it was intentional - as was the size of his hands! :) Because the canvas is square i felt it fills the space more.
the splatters and exploding guitar/jacket/afro are meant to capture his explosive style! i did get carried away with the 'diana ross' afro...but i like it :D
i'm about to put it on ebay as i need fast cash for a plexi head. but i've got another 40x40 that i'm gonna do another with. It'll be pretty much the same
here's what it looks like on my wall...
that is such a great painting, the finished product looks incredible.
how much are you expecting to get from ebay for the painting?

It looks great but, don't you think it looks a lot like another painting?

aye, it was based on this...
Aww man.. that stinks that you're not getting any bids... I would bid, but I don't even have 50 pounds! :oops:
Stairway to Freebird!
I'd give it 9/10....I wish you'd done a bit more detail on the guitar, then again I'm a critic not a painter, I couldn't have done something like that....
Great job!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D
