Description

When doing celebrity caricatures it's important to find the image that fits what people have in their minds - not necessarily what the person looks like at this exact second. Men, like George Lucas, keep the same hairstyle for decades, but women change it every week. If I drew Rihanna - what hair should she have? The same applies to age and weight. I "averaged" Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher to an age and weight that's more easy to decipher - because they're both fairly unrecognizable if you look at a current picture of them.

LOL. Nice, I like your artwork. Lucas looks pretty funny as a caricature, with his slight squint and large neck. As as for Hammerhead....ah, it all makes sense now! Why didn't I see it before?! :)

As for them not looking the same....shit dude, come on. It was 30+ years ago, everybody gets older. They ain't that different. Just A LOT more wrinkly. I hope I live long enough to get wrinkles and extra weight, too. ;)

Again, nice job. I checked out your other work, the quality and humour is consistent. I hope you do work for papers and stuff, because you're good enough.
