I don’t know. I think Hellen Killer got it right.
But I think this artist has some interesting things. I like the concept of painting an action or emotional face but some turn out odd looking.

This looks like a character taken directly from movies like A Scanner Darkly. I think there have been a few other films like it where it was shot in live action but animated later on.
He kinda reminds me of a frightened gerbil.

So the artist is doing a series of “Manga” (Japanese serial comic-books) style paintings based on the movies of Michael Mann, so Helen made the Pacino painting into a Yu-gi-oh anime picture – which is sort of like Manga, but animated and the drawing is more simplistic…
Did I follow that very complicated joke correctly… or is there just a misspelling on the listing I missed?

@#17: if theblackapple had painted this, then the brushstrokes would be really crappy and poorly applied… the eyes would probably still be as wide, but the actual technique would be crap.
Why would I want a Manga Pacino? Seriously? I saw Carlito’s Way (which, yes, is my only Pacino reference)… Why would I want to see Pacino all doe-eyed?

For some strange, twisted reason, I want nothing more than for Rob Lowe to be in a Michael Mann movie, just so he has a chance of being painted like this.
