>YouTube video of my Caricatures
>
This video is a compilation of photo-manipulated caricatures. I have been doing photo manipulations for FreakingNews.com since April 2010 but I just started experimenting with caricatures 6 months ago. I have put together about 85 of my caricatures in this video. I have done more but a lot of them are rough studies not suited for this project. It’s 12.5 minutes long. I hope you like it.
I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

>James Hetfield of Metallica
>
Tonight I have a caricatured manipulation of James Hetfield of Metallica. This was a requested caricature. I used two different images of Hetfield for this one. The image with this pose wasn’t real clear so I used another head. It’s still not as crisp and clean as I like my work to be but It was good practice.
Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

This is a couple of caricatures I did for some good friends, Claudio and Adrianaa Paolini as a gift. I hope I got Claudio’s wife’s name correct. Click on the image to view full size. Merry Christmas Claudio!

Tonight I did a couple of quick caricature studies of Lady Gaga. She’s definitely not hard to caricature since she normally looks very abnormal to put it mildly. I think I made her too cute. She can be kind of disgusting at times. That’s all for tonight but I should have something a little more interesting tomorrow.
I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Tonight I’m posting the finished piece from a study I posted a few days ago. This is a caricatured manipulation I entered in my 34th “Freak Show” Photoshop contest at FreakingNews.com. It took gold. The original body image was created by Sven Juhlin, a brilliant 3D artist.
I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Yesterday I told you I wanted to do a more extreme caricature inspired by Russ Cook. Well, this is my attempt. I chose Charlie Watts, (Drummer for The Rolling Stones) because he already has that long face and nose. It is in no way to be compared with Russ Cook’s mastery of extreme caricatures. I tend to be a very conservative person and I have to push myself to try and max out the color, saturation and exaggeration in my work or it turns out looking muted and washed out. This was a big change for me and is about as extreme as I get. This type of exaggeration when manipulating a photo really gets challenging trying to maintain skin textures as well as likeness. This was a great practice piece for me and I hope to do more of the same soon. I’m including the source picture below for comparison.
I Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
