Hey guys, I'm sorry in advance to the mods here if this isn't allowed - I usually post my artwork on the other boards and everyone is cool with it but just in case it's not same over here, my apologies.

Just finished working on a digital illustration of Kobe from back in the day and wanted to share it with you guys and see what you think. Went a bit out of my comfort zone with some of the techniques I used, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I have prints for sale of it if anyone is interested and the high resolution detail shots can be seen on my Tumblr or Behance.

Cheers! Excited to see what you guys do in the draft this year. I'm a Raptors fan but I've always had a soft spot for the Lakers.

I got a new wallpaper...

Pretty good price for a print.

Thanks, I just graduated from an illustration program so I'm just starting to build it up right now!

nice but his left hand only has 4 fingers yet he has 5 rings

Outside of the missing finger, that's some quality work. Good attention to detail especially in regards to the ripples in the jersey.

yours looks better than the original imo

Not bad.. but I'm a little disapppointed that it wasn't an original rendition. You basically just copied the photo.

He's not missing a finger, it's blocked by his thumb.

Nice work tho.

Very good tracing

Excellent! Do one of kobe in the lakers blue jersey from back in the miken era.

All you would have to do is go back to 04-05 when he wore it vs Dallas.

Can we get one of this:
