I know this is a bit late and all that needs to be expressed are done by everyone far better in the main thread. I been on this site for .. close to 15 years now? While I don't know Geoff personally, his large than life influence on this community can't be understated. Which brings me to... why do a drawing now?

I went on sc2 rarely here and there for a bit of break and yesterday I saw this as a featured commemorative package with the accompanying digital portrait / Icon:
[image loading]

Now I think this artist did a great job, he/she probably had to do it under deadline and the main style of features are there. But truth be told it didn't immediately make me think of Geoff, and I felt like there is a lack of warmth and life that should be in the drawing. So I did my own take, same basic angle. I want the drawing to be also fairly rough (doesn't mean it can't be realistic and livelier) and This is my version, with the video below it if you are curious about the process. Thanks guys and I hope everyone safe and happy this holidays.

Prefer your version by a distance. As I cannot draw at all I can’t really criticise those with talent but the previous one I’d only really think was Geoff after someone told me it was, your one I could have randomly seen anywhere and immediately known (even without the TL flag)

Speaking of, the TL background works much better as well. While obviously not the actual flag, the original initially made me think of Sweden for some reason, adding to my confusion. Reminded me a bit of an old Rain fan image which was great but unfortunately the background was very reminiscent of the flag of Imperial Japan

Great job!

Yeah definitely feels like you did his character more justice imo. Great portrayal imo.

Minor nitpick is that considering the long history of iNcontrol with EG it feels weird to see him in front of a TL logo. He was a long time TL (the page) member, but while EG and TL seem mostly cool with each other, these are still rivaling orgs.

Wow, your work for sure has more soul in comparison to Blizzard version.

I'm thinking to print this picture and place it somewhere on room walls one day...

yeah, it's very sad. I believe it. Time goes by so fast and it was pretty unexpected. I'm glad you found value in the video.

Your painting captures his facial structure far more accurately. The brows and cheeks are much more true to Geoff and the hair is kind of generally painted better.

Posture and facial expression are also more evocative of Geoff.

Very well done, is yours digital? It captures the traditional media brush stroke really nicely

This reminded me that Incontrol is dead. A thought which still cannot be easily accepted by reason.

Though he was at EG, not TL. Still the background, in the sense of the forum, fits.

The heartbreaking thing: Glider's rendition is like Intcontrol smiling at me while he knows he is dead. Something in the image is moving.
