How many of these have you done now?

Is this just a hobby or a job or are you studying/practicing to become a professional at the moment?

5/5, as usual.

iirc he has his own business, where he takes commissions for life-like portraits. Something along those lines.

Very nice job... do you work from photos?

Your eyes and hair textures are very nice... you must have spent hours practicing them. I still struggle to get the eyes right and you just draw them individually and they still end up perfectly aligned.

I'm sorry, but why SHOULD it have been Carl Sagan or Stephen Hawking as opposed to Neil Tyson?

Was the title of the drawing, "The most influential astrophysicist that has ever lived" ? Why is NDT not worthy of being drawn to you? You've manufactured this hierarchy of people who are more deserving to be the centerpiece of Glider's art...what metric are you using to determine who is more deserving?

Did you bitch at him when he drew Rihanna, saying that he SHOULD have drawn Britney Spears? Did you bitch at him when he drew Bryan Cranston, saying that he should have drawn Robert DeNiro?

I don't understand why you have to run your mouth at all, even if it is qualified by a compliment afterward. This is amazing work, and there was no obligation he had to fulfill with this drawing other than to do something that interests him. So why SHOULD it have been someone else? It's like you study the cosmos and have a high level of knowledge about it, but have an axe to grind with people that only know about Neil Degrasse Tyson. So by pointing out two other extremely mainstream brilliant people that you feel are more deserving of a picture, you somehow discredit NDT and assert yourself as the intellectual alpha male of this random subforum of a computer gaming website. I think it's really cool you pursue knowledge with your free time, but you don't need to shit on others to look better in comparison to them.

King Charlie all he's saying is he likes those other people better and would have preferred a portrait of them. Not a big deal . There is variation on how you interpret "should" - it either means "you really should have done something else, i'm disappointed" or "it would have been nicer had it have been something else". Its just a personal opinion, don't get worked up about it!

[...]

The reason you don't understand why he shared his thoughts of his own personal "hierarchy" of influential minds, is the same reason why you felt you SHOULD have exploded unnecessarily on him.

Who Artax feels are the most scientific influential people, and who you feel are the most, are completely subjective and opinionated. Look at it as Artax sharing who he feels are his own hero's, as glider shared his hero.

I don't understand why you ran your mouth at all, there was no hostility within those words.

I can't say it detracts from the picture as it is, but I think a bit more detail/realism into the suit could have looked nice and helped.
Nonetheless, obviously great work. The pose he's in looking up is quite fitting and provoking. Was a single/specific photo used in order to create the picture?
