I made this portrait as a tribute to Yoshimo, whose tragic fate made me sad for some time. I hope it will honour the wonderful character he was. Yoshihiro is a rogue, and was created for Verasia RPG. Let it be known, for I do not wish anyone to claim that Verasia stole my art and put it on their website.
Update : I uploaded the pre-final portrait (my mistake), this one should look a bit better.
I've always LOVED your work. My only complaint now is that I wish I could see some portraits with some eye-glasses. I do not know if those are difficult to draw or if artists dislike them intensely, but I know those of us who want to play scholarly types would hugely appreciate them. Hey, girls with glasses can look cute, too! Just a thought. Loved this portrait by the way. I do not see many Asian portraits and I think this is a handsome one.

Yoshimo was a bastard. He got what he deserved in the end. In subsequent play-throughs of BG2, I just KILLED him as soon as I saw him. But the pic is good, though!

Yoshimo begs your assistance! (Okay, I know Yoshimo is his name, but why does it feel like it's NOT his real name?) P.S: Nice

Hello people, Thanks for your encouraging comments, as always. Also, I looked up Andy Lau, and I have to admit the upper part of his face looks similar to what I have done. I based myself on a Poser render, though, so it's very coincidental. ;) And Stig... I'm a guy. ;) Cheers.

I agree with kevin d lee, that really looks like Andy Lau, the chinese singer and actor.
