5. chelydra wrote: Thanks... now if only his eyes were an inch and a half farther apart, I'd like him too.n Never realized how much I relied on penciling to start until I got into this obsession.

7. stevedover1965 wrote: Wow portraits using beads has turned out brilliantly for you you seem to be able to use the pieces exceptionally and create lifelike faces that continue to impress us all...in fact I am staggered by the realism you have been able to capture in your portra

9. belladonnis wrote: You are quickly turning into one of the Greats that I refer to here on TD! Great style!
10. Normal wrote: Is this Ravi Shankar? Face looks more "familiar" to me than his would be!
11. chelydra wrote: It's those too-close-together eyes that give Ravi S an air for familiarity. His actual face is stranger, so highly evolved, almost hyperhuman, it inspires awe

13. Dreamy wrote: Your portraiture is otherworldly...it makes me howl with envy.
14. chelydra wrote: Sorry, I thought Showcase was still just Springtime. But he is quite green, so maybe he can pass for a plant.

21. chelydra wrote: Aw shucks! (Blush) ... But... Too-close-together eyes are driving me crazier and crazier. Coulda been a contender otherwise.
22. Normal wrote: Enjoy your self-analysis! But don't overthink! We like your current degree of craziness just fine.
23. chelydra wrote: All I'm analyzing is this absent-minded habit of letting eyeballs wander off course, wondering if it'll get worse as I sink into my dotage. Underthinking is the problem! I need to share my grumbling or it'll fester & ferment.
24. chelydra wrote: Thanks for comments and for letting me grumble on. More grumbles to come, most likely.
25. Shanley wrote: ditto Normal!
26. marthacc wrote: You are right. His eyes are much too close together! (just kidding)
27. chelydra wrote: "Never share a stage with children or dogs," said W.C. Fields. Poor Ravi has to contend with not only his free-form eye sockets, but also two dogs (one's a wolf but a cute one) and a %$#@ panda bear, all by Mom, and if they're by Mom you gotta love 'em...
28. chelydra wrote: Ravi has no chance to be the most popular picture of week. Maybe on a week with fewer cute animals, or less beautifully drawn cute animals... oh well... I guess I might as well go do the decent thing and vote for Mom...
29. chelydra wrote: Did it! All 3, 5 stars each. I guess if the one TD'er I'm jealous of can favorite the panda, I should consider it an honor to do my bit for an endangered beastie. And for Mom. Quite liberating to do the right thing!

40. ferretkiss wrote: Don't know if I should say this or not, but for me this portrait is U.S. President Jimmy Carter (who is a man of peace and true hero for the way he lives his life and spends his energies). I know it is not him for you, so that's why I never said this....
41. mrozowski wrote: I'm with ferrtkiss on this looking like Jimmy Carter. Had no clue who RS was. Thought it might have been a political inside joke until I came back to this today. Good face, whoever's eyes he has.
42. AFSOUTH wrote: Wow! So excellent in beauty!
43. mum23 wrote: I just heard he died, and remembered you'd done this portrait of him, so came to have another look. Hadn't read all the comments before now... quite a revelation!
