Tuomas Holopainen - 3 of 3

Que rufem as trombetas do apocalipse:
EU TERMINEI!!!!!

Third of three commissions to
(Val, it's delayed, but hope you like it! )

Tuomas Holopainen (oh, really? ) is the keyboarder, mastermind, dead boy, werewolf, spiritual leader, Jack Sparrow cover and blahblahblah of Nightwish... you've already known him. At least, you know the 237829478 drawings of the guy in my gallery... but this is gonna be the last one. Not because it's not fun to draw his face anymore (actually, I think I may do it even without a reference ), but everything comes to an end one day. Although, it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy making this one. I liked it a lot! It's been a while since the last very detailed portrait... so it feels good but I guess I've lost my patience a bit haha. Due to my lack of practice lately, his hair was particularly difficult (ele realmente tá precisando de um tratamento anti-frizz, jesus amado...). I also had a serious problem shading his lips (?), actually, which made me to re-scan it many times before it was done. The background wasn't in my plan, but without it the hair would end up covering totally his face. I had to darken, but don't know if it turned out good.
