New art: Nikita Filatov

[broom_rider]

A portrait of Russian hockey player Nikita Filatov for vamm_goda. Hope that you like it.
I am not into hockey and don't really know how this guy looks in life. I used this photo as a ref. (And was stupid enough to take a look on his other pictures only when I was half-through with the line art).

Портрет хоккеиста Никиты Филатова для vamm_goda. Надеюсь, ей понравится.
Хоккей меня не волнует, поэтому я понятия не имею как он выглядит в реальности. Я использовала это фото для рефа. (Ага, и была достаточной идиоткой, потому что додумалась поискать других его фото только когда практически закончила лайн арт - не знаю, как раньше не додумалась.)
Не думаю, что я когда-либо ещё возьмусь рисовать спортрмена...

Thank you! He really is cute, no wonder that Rebekah likes him ;)

My goodness, that is completely gorgeous! I love his hair, and my word his eyes are gorgeous. And the shading of his face, the folds in his clothes. It's just perfect. It's so fantastic, thank you so much for him! Is it alright if I show him off on my journal?

Whee! Thank you very much! I am so glad that you like it! :)
Of course you can post it in your journal! :)

Very handsome. I think you did it well. :)

Thank you! Guess, in real life Mr. Filatov is even more cute... But you know what, I understood one important thing while working on this picture: I definitely prefer strong personality to beauty in the portrait subjects! :)

I agree. Personality transcends all the various ideals of beauty.
