I was bored this morning since I'm on spring break, thought so I drew a little bit. This is a smaller version, the larger one is huge.

    Nice, what application did you use? Illustrator I am assuming.

    You should charge some $$ and offer the service for other people. It looks really slick.

    cheers :jared:

    there is a filter in photoshop that produces a similar effect. I've used it for some of my comps. I forget what its called atm. though if he did that in illustrator it'll be vector which is nice. I need to learn to really use illustrator. I've never had a strong urge to use it. I want to buy a graphics pad when I get $100 of spare change.

    I did it in Photoshop, freehand without filters. Two filters produce similar results on pictures, one is cutout, the other is note paper (just turn the relief to zero). However, both produce poor images since it often melds the person with the background, or doesn't allow for enough detail.

    There's a disparity in the intensity of lighting, you'll notice, between the three main parts (head, body, and legs) that wouldn't be produced by a filter.

    The real question... how long did it take you to modify the image?

    There wasn't a direct source image, there's a few I looked at with me in them. It took about three days.

    So... you created it from scratch?

    I doubt it, I mean Nomad is obviously good, but this isn't one of those types of images that looks "from scratch" to me. If it is, then awesome(take my disbelief as a complement), but I just can't see it.

    Yeah. It's really not all too hard, these are the type of 'screen print' drawings I'm really best at. Since they lack a lot of detail they're not so hard to create. Just set some general markers of where the torso, shoulders, and head should be. The hardest thing is proportion.
