So Time magazine decided that Obama was the person of the year with this cover...

So my older brother took a picture of himself and made this....

colors too upfront for me. perhaps he can make a couple
of other versions of the piece? like try to copy the
obama colors, then change them into colors of the same
tone to make it easier on the eye.

and some overlay layer like on the obama piece would
do wonders as well i think :3

It's nice to see he stayed true and closer to the original colour choices rather than the--washed out version--used by the magazine.

...But the concept itself has been done to death by many artist on many other forums. Also considering they made theirs during the election as opposed to know, much much later,leaving the "wow" factor for your brothers piece...missing. That aside-over all nice clean vector lines with bright eye catching colours. Good work.

Haha.
Yeah, my brother is no graphic artist. He just does stuff like this randomly for fun.
It would look better if it had the background stuff from the Time magazines cover.

But like I said he doesn't really care lol.

Anyways thanks for the feedback guys :love:

It's an overdone concept, but atleast he stayed true to original color-schemes. I can respect that.
