So, I painted some stuff. Excuse the poor quality, since I took the pictures with the worst camera phone ever due to a broken scanner.
I did these with acrylics on canvas. On the first one, I tried to water down the paint just a *little* so it would transition to the next color better, but that didn't really work. On the second, I used a sponge brush for the color instead of the normal brush. Um. I think they look better in person, but try to critique on what you have. =] Patrick Stump Original  Gerard Way Original  I was going for a kind of abstract, cartoon-ish look. So, what do you think? |

the first one's face looks weird, I mean it doesnt look like a person to me.. It looks like a big bug playing the guitar. In this one, it looks like some sort of jacket is infront of the guitar? I dont know, it kind of looks weird there. Its like a straight line infront of it. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Second one is okay but I think the colors are btter in the first one. |

Uh. It's a mic stand. O_o
I added the original photos so you can tell that it is not, in fact, "a big bug playing the guitar" as you put it. |

I really love the second one, and the idea of what you're doing. I think it'd be better if you just colored water-color paper with multiple colors and use ink to go over it. That way, you can have more details show up.

Yeah, that's what I was going to do, but I didn't have watercolor paper, watercolors, or ink. xD
Also, I'm just a really lazy person, so I messed up a lot on Patrick and just didn't bother to fix it. |

Haha cheap water colors and thin and thick Crayola markers should do the trick ;)
I'm not sure, but you can probably buy water color paper by the sheet. Or one of those sketchbooks that are good for all mediums. |

I really really like the Stumpy one.
They're both good, but the Gerard Way one doesn't really look like him very much. I definitely think the Patrick Stump one is better. Very creative

Very neat. The shapes seem a little funny in some parts, but I love what you did with the colours. Great work.

Firstly I love the colors, and the first one looks great.
The Gerard Way one is pretty cool, but it seems a bit.. stiff? And unnatural? Other than that though, they're pretty good
