50 %

I had not draw in just pencil in a long time, so I thought a caricature of 50 cent should do the trick! I wasn't going to post it, but my friend Rob Hume talked me into it! Will Appledorn did a 50 i really like as well.... well I hope you guys and gales like it!

    That's a very impressive pencil rendering, Damion. The way you've worked up to those small details is epic.
