    Hello artists,

    My last contest was a success so I´ll try again. This time I need a cartoonish color drawing of a face. It will be used as a logo for a friend. Here are some descriptions of what we are looking for:

    - Dirty old man. Between 40 and 50 years old.
    - Wild looking eyes.
    - Sleazy smile, but a little hint of insecurity.
    - Red hair 70s style.
    - No facial hair.
    - A few freckles.
    - Pretty slim. Not overweight.
    - He is looking straight into the camera with his wild eyes and sleazy smile.
    - The more it looks like a real person the better. Does not want it to look like a cartoon character.

    It is something of a mix between the wild eyes and hair color of Chris Penn:

    And the age and hair style of the youngest man sitting at the front row in this photo, at the left side:

    I want to get it finished by Friday this week. $50 PayPal to the winner. Will comment on all submissions. If no suitable submissions by Friday I may extend it.

    Thank you for two very good contributions!

    Sway: Good looking and creepy, a bit too creepy. Must hint at some humanity under all that. And the hair is too curly, must be more like the 70s hairstyle at the person at the bottom left on the photo.

    DesireeJoy: Also a very good one! A feel of something sincere and kind behind the front.. The hair and face is absolutely what I am after. Is it possible to get some versions with other types of eyes? Some eyes that are a bit more crazy and some blue ones? The mouth may need to better distinguish what is tongue and what is teeth?

    KingMohan: Nice looking fella, but there is too much anger, needs to be a person you could maybe be able to talk about the weather with if you know what I mean?

    DesireeJoy: Very nice version, I like the crazyness. Reminds me of an old version of the MAD boy. May I be able to see this type of crazy eyes and the original eye color from your first version?

    Congrats DesireeJoy. I liked a lot this illustration/caricature. Well done.
    Only few contributions to this thread but all are looking good.
    Desireejoy's work is outstanding.
    @ smi : Right choice.
