Amon - Realism

Description

First time attempting realism in earnest. Something's off about this painting but I can't tell what :( Would love some criticism.

Used a photo of Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore in Vampire Diaries as reference. Gotta love that show, and c'mon let's admit it, if Avatar got turned into real action Ian Somerhalder would be the perfect actor for Amon. Seriously that guy just oozes the 'sexy bad boy' vibes :D

Yes, I think you can tell, I have a crush on Amon...

I don't know how to do critiques, but I'll give it a shot!

Beautifully coloured- very well done with the lighting! An excellent piece of art overall. You have thoughtfully balanced this picture out with the symbols of the Water Tribe and the Equalist Revolution (nice touch!).

As for making this realistic-looking, I say, well done! The face is in great proportion and the skin colouring is quite realistic, especially when it came to the blue lighting. There's one thing that's slightly off though. His right eye is slightly bigger than the left. I think that's what's looking a bit off.

His hair looks realistic- strand for strand- but I think it lacks just a little something to add to the realism. The styling of it is very suitable though!

I think more detail on Amon's outfit should have gotten a little more attention. Maybe add some roughness to his jacket front to add some texture.

That's all I've got. Well done!
