I recently read a terrific book called Manhunt:The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer. They had some great old newspaper clips & wanted posters in there too. This one's an attempt to mimic that ol' timey style.

great job Ryan!! this is incredible!! looks old enough to me! ^^
ReplyDeleteand it's surprising and nice to see you drawing a quite "normal" character! ;-) I dig the hair, the look and the moustache you gave to him.. oh! sorry for my ignorance about your history but it's a real character! lol! you did him really well...
so Ryan, you're also a great portraitist...
great job, man!
ol' timey, indeed. very nice!
ReplyDeleteNice! I would hang this on my wall.

ReplyDeleteI think this looks absolutely fantastic Ryan!! Really nice effect.
ReplyDeleteHi Ryan....
ReplyDeleteAs always great illustration!!!

Nice work. The "tone" of it has a really nice feel. How they always had that odd separation of light and dark. Nice textural effect, too.
ReplyDeleteLove this Ryan I don't think I have ever seen you do something like this before. Great!!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely painted You did a great job with the face but kept it relatively simple.

ReplyDeleteReally nice. I love how this is monochromatic in some ways, but still there are all these little subtle washes in there. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteTerrific as always.
ReplyDeleteDo you use a Cintiq, a Wacom, or a pencil for your sketches?
Flawless, Ryan! I don't think you could have done this any better!
ReplyDeleteyou make it seem so effortless....
ReplyDeletealways a pleasure to see your work!
You really captured that ol'timey style.
ReplyDeletewonderful!
This is amazing. If they ever trace some stuff back to me and a "wanted" poster becomes neccessary, I hope you're the one who paints it. You handled this one perfectly.
ReplyDeletereally nicely done. love the feel of it.

ReplyDeleteYou definitely nailed that old timey feel, Ryan! Nice stache rendering too.
ReplyDeleteOh this is very tasty! I just saw a book on the same subject... it's question was "why did Lincoln have to be killed?" When I get some time, I want to read the book... we need more conspiracy theories:)))
