"Hunter S. Thompson" Tribute Artwork

This a rework of an old drawing that I did when I was on the plane coming back to Bulgaria from Germany. I was visiting my mother, 4 years ago. The flight was smooth and I decided to draw for a bit, just started with 2 circles in the middle of the paper. Added 2 lines on top. Then somebody pushed my hand a bit, and it looked like the outline of a brain. I kept it, started applying shadows. When I came back to Bulgaria, I visited my teacher in Sofia. There I continued rendering it. The original drawing is called "The scientist" Recently, I was laying in bed and all of a sudden I had an idea to rework this drawing a bit. I was talking with a friend of mine about S. Thompson and his work the day before. Then I took a break from the other painting that I'm working on and did this one, the guys that joined the stream loved the idea and the look. As you can see, I took my time with it, overpainted the cigar and the brain, added the glasses, had half of the canvas-covered with references from the movie "fear and loathing in Las Vegas". The only trouble that I had was with the aviator shades, I was painting without hiding the part of them with the nose, it was looking really weird, was tweaking that for around 3 hours, then at the end I had a FacePalm moment, just had to erase few millimeters, and it worked perfectly... Sometimes the obvious is hidden.
