OFF TOPIC! Caricature #8

[Matt2584]

Hmmm...

[RachyBoo]

Hahaha Gordon Brown springs to mind

[Matt2584 in reply to RachyBoo]

Uh, I would never do a caricature of Gordon Clown. He is a caricature in himself haha.

Don't recognise this scary fellow ; the nearest contender for me is Cyril Smith but the eyebrows are different.

Hi Matt

I got to agree with Cat that Ciril Smith is first thought but there is someone else that's in my head somewhere but at moment just can't find. Frustrating cause being as overweight as this guy would seem to be I'd of thought he'd have been big enough to find easy lol

[Matt2584]

Well, you're all wrong so far.

I've got to say though that some parts of this caricature are much more exagerrated.

That is what I like about caricatures is the cartoon-look while exagerrated features. I try to draw my own and they don't always come out the way I want/picture them in my head.

I'm not saying I didn't draw this one because I did but I. Copied this picture from the internet, along with the other caricatures, apart from the David Coulthard one. That was an attempt of my own caricature that could have come out looking a lot better.

I'll give a clue though. This guy is an actor. I don't know what he looks like now so I don't know if he really is quite big or if he is just highly exagerrated in that picture :).

I'm going to say Bobby George, although I thought it could be John Prescott? Oops, am I only allowed one guess?

[Matt2584 in reply to barny1]

You can have as many guesses as you like but I shall tell you now that both guesses were wrong :).

[Hidden]

Who'snows'.. I don't 'snow'.

sorry Matt but its coming tonight lol !!

seriously I've a feeling this is a woman am i right?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Cant be you said guy

[Matt2584 in reply to Hidden]

Snow is coming tonight! What area are you in? It is rather chilly at the mo.

That's it is a guy, so your serious thought was wrong :).

[Hidden in reply to Matt2584]

Started just.Shropshire on the edge of Staffordshire. Supposed to be snowing from 7 tonite till am. Not expecting to go anywhere tomorrow!

[Matt2584 in reply to Hidden]

Ah, you are a bit more in-land than moi. I am a coastal boy :). You would have more chance of snow than me. We'll probably get frost and that is it haha.

If it does snow here then I hope it buggers off by tomorrow morning haha cos I am going out tomorrow :).

I don't like going out in the snow.

[Matt2584 in reply to Matt2584]

Staffordshire, that is where those dogs come from haha.

My friend used to own a bull terrier, lovely dogs.

[Hidden in reply to Matt2584]

I wont drive in the snow.Yes Staffordshire terriers are ok if they've been bought up and trained properly in the right hands but many of the owners are irresponsible with them as you see on the television.

[Matt2584 in reply to Hidden]

If I drove a car, I think I would avoid the icy roads too.

Ah yes, irresponsible ownership leading to poorly behaved dogs. It's similar with people too. There are some rough kids around who have such a horrible vocabulary. Katy Price was one of those kids :).

It's a shame cos if those types of kids had decent, loving parents, they would more than likely be lovely people.

[Hidden in reply to Matt2584]

I know what you mean Matt

[hamsolo]

I see a definite and strong similarity with Steven Seagal?

[Matt2584 in reply to hamsolo]

Well, it is good you had that similarity because Steven Seagull... Seagal, is the answer :). Well done :).

[Hidden in reply to Matt2584]

well i would never have guessed that one

[cat3 in reply to Hidden]

I don't know who the original cartoonist is but they got it horribly wrong. Cartooning is supposed to emphasise/exaggerate a person's dominant features but as Steven Seagal has only a slight double chin . . . . . . . . . no more than most men of his age, this depiction is nonsense.

No reflection on your own artistic ability Matt which, as always. is brilliant.

Have a look at images of Seagul from youth up to present day & you'll see what I mean.

[Matt2584 in reply to cat3]

I had a look at some more up-to-date pictures of Steven Seagull... Seagal :).

The original cartoonist has definitely over exagerrated his chin/throat.

Like you say, caricatures are supposed to be exaggerated but not exactly over exaggerated.

Well, I copied what I saw and thanks for commenting my art again :). I'm glad my drawing looks like the caricature that looks nothing like Steven Seagal haha :).

[Matt2584 in reply to Hidden]

I struggled when I first saw the picture as the chin is so big and it makes him look quite obese, I don't know if he is a big guy now but he certainly did not look like that in the 90s :).

It was the eyes that gave it away for me.

[cat3 in reply to Matt2584]

Yes the face is fine, but even today his neck & chins are no more enlarged than the average 60 year old. Glad you agree Matt.

But once again, your talent is unquestionable. xx

[Matt2584 in reply to cat3]

Unquestionable! Your making me blush :).
