Think she’s related to this one http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=34472087 — and don’t know about the rest of you all but my first thought was “Perry Farrell, with bigger boobs.”

When it’s that bad, why not just call it “shelly” or something and call it a day? Because then us assholes will never notice that it doesn’t look a thing like the person it’s supposed to be rendering in portrait… just a helpful artist’s tip.

No, no, no. This isn’t John Travolta, there are no visible hairplugs or toupee line. One if the Willis girls, maybe?
The light source is so strange. Looks like the artist used his own “flash.” And what’s the “A4″ for in the description? Some kind of code to sink this battleship? Or…the forth in a series???
His other work is much better. Although his Scott Weiland looks like Christian Slater.

#31 A4 is a size of paper.
But totally my first thought was, OK, fine, a face can be difficult to do realistically, but WTF is with the body, or lack thereof? I think, on looking more closely, she’s supposed to be in bed with a sheet on her, but I shouldn’t have to interpolate that. It should be apparent.
Why on earth do these people try to sell their first attempts in new media? This is called practice, not a finished work.

I can’t believe you are all so heartless. Clearly it’s a very serious rendering of Winona Ryder as if she were afflicted with Stage IV Ear-Boob Syndrome, meant to draw much needed attention to the little understood, but ultimately deadly, disease which is known to cause shoplifting, poor choices in romantic partners, and giant boobs sprouting out of the side of one’s head.

On a side note, regardless of skill level, this guy’s drawings clearly take some time, yet it appears he’s selling originals for 20 bucks? That’s about 11 pounds sterling. Perhaps he’s desperate to get them out of his house.

This is one of the things that Etsy has done to art and to the marketplace — devalued it to the point where someone feels he can sell his first “stab” at watercolour, no matter what it looks like. So bad.
