Prince Poppycock by genocyber Prince Poppycock by genocyber
If any of you don't know who this guy is, I suggest googling him. Amazing opera singer/entertainer on the show America's got Talent.
I'm a sucker for classic theater and since he doesn't get much art I decided,why not?
I worked really hard on this.Spent about 5 days roughly drawing and coloring everything.
Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Looking back at this, I particularly enjoy red!Poppy's all-knowing grin-- Like "Oh yeah, you know you want this. >D" His hand on the mirror in the green version is nice to look at. I love the little finger extended out.
His pagliacci hands put me off a little but I like him anyway. I could see this as a poster advertising his future show in Vegas, if it was cleaned up a bit. :heart: Very good.

Greetings, Genocyber.

An interestingly pointed work, this. In what little I know of this individual, it seems clear that his flamboyance and simultaneous controversy and anachronism exist astride his natural capacity for voice and expressiveness. I can see why he could be easy to admire for his eccentricity and excellence.

That aside, what strikes me initially is the purposeful stylization and presentation of the image, and how those two factors intermesh. While the red and green attire of the two figures at the top are clear and smoothly set, the figure at the bottom, and his backing of clashing carnival colors, both acts as a unifying agent, but also one of presentation as well. The stars and tiles provide a kind of background to bring attention to that ambitious and bold expressive stance, while the darker upper background of the image makes one focus more on it's Victorian-like bearing, and those trademark items, the fan and mirror, as well as the fine hats.

Although the appearance of Poppycock in both left and right upper images is rather complex, your style of linearization of such details allows both images to settle naturally. Flat areas of colorization allow the eyes to rest, and the sharp tangle of lines (such as at areas of lace or the ringlets of hair) is balanced or mitigated by this. The colorizations also vary subtly along their range of cool aqua and green shades, as well as the red and magenta tones, embodying a nice contrast of rich color.

Very different from either two figures is that of Poppycock at center-bottom. Virtually symmetrical in his stance and relative lack of effluence, he seems literally the focussed jester standing between the rifts of now-obscure anachronisms and the humor and tirade of today's general body of acting and performance. With his outheld hands, there is an energy to his pose; his appearance, likewise, is naught but the hard lines of diamond geometries and hard basic colors, punctuated by the collar and cuff frills reminiscent of that style from earlier times.

Your stylization within the image remains strong, and although there are some points which I disagree with, such as some incorrectness as to his hands, the overall dynamics and characteristics of the image easily smooth over those edges.

As an outward dedication, I can see this as one of your better images for it's effectiveness and straightforwardness, Geno. Good work; I hope those who see it also agree with it's message and standing.
