A birthday gift for Leesa Perrie: another scene from her fanfic, "Look Back in Anger". Young Rodney has been kicked out of the house for the day, and paces in the cold while wearing a woefully inadequate coat.
Leesa had originally wanted me to do an image of young Rodney before deciding to commission me for Mud Planet. I won't do images of celebs for pay, but I was sorely temped by the notion, as I had been thinking I wanted to do a "Young Rodney" pic anyway. So when I found out it was her birthday today, I decided that was as good a reason as any to indulge my art muse, La.
F pencil for the face & body, 3b for the hair. Background is a photo I took in DC. Compiled in Photoshop Elements. David Hewlett refrences used: scenes from the movies Pin and The Darkside.
You can see the pencilwork, without background or snow effects, here: [link]
Thanks, for the comment, the fave, and the feature, too -- I'm honoured!

That's fantastic! Very emotional and a great likeness. I can't stop staring!

I like this - both as a lovely portrait of young Rodney, and as an evocative picture. I like the way you drew his hair (and oooh pretty eyelashes!) and nose.

I think, it's better without the effects.
