updated, moved eyes and adjusted look, added more skin texture, focus put even more on figure, and adjusted skin tones and contours to look more natural, and closer overall adjustments to match original.

Better Marco.....but...... the sweater.  You should make it something without a distinctive pattern. It is warped all over the place and you have seems that just disappear. Mr Rogers wouldn't wear that sweater.  Honest. Your going to need to make a bigger image too if Blue is going to print it.

Beautiful work on the paintings!
I know it sounds weird, but you could also try taking a close-up photo of the photo and see how the full res of your camera treats it. I've had some success with this method of enlarging images myself, but of course, your mileage may vary, especially starting from such a low-quality image.

Not that big  He's not making a billboard you dick.
Sorry about the sweater. I did not know it was personal. Did your Mama knit that?  I've seen better sweaters on homeless people.
Wait a minute....I have a big ego because you drew a picture of a homeless guy in an ugly sweater????  OK. I can accept that.

This thread is about doing something nice for someone. All the donations are very nice. I was just tryin' to help, Marco. Sometimes it helps to have a second pair of eyes. I called my buddy to look at mine to tell me what he thought it needed. I was thankful. It is very difficult to not lose the little details that really make the image resemble the person. I've been doing it for a long time with PS and Paints. I have had good ones and complete failures. I just thought it would be nice for these folks to get a couple really nice images that really described the man.
That's all. Whenever I would paint a portrait and the model had a very busy sweater on with a lot of details, I would simplify it a lot if I did not have time to do the original. If you are doing a looser style of painting like Gran's, you can get away with a lot more, but your's is photo sharp so mistakes stand out like sore thumbs. Mine is not perfect either. There is a weird blue spot under the guy's ear. The shirt is too sharp in areas and too soft in others. I could have gone into the sweater/shirt with a lot more detail and shape but I don't think there is anything too offensive.  I'll fix these issues too if I have time. I always ask for a second opinion. An artist gets lost in the details sometimes and forgets the big picture. You get so interested in making an ear perfect that when you zoom out you realize it is too big, or low or dark, or whatever. That is all. Now I am going to lay my enormous head on my big pilla'

Firstly let me say thank you to you all, god I love this place and you know why, you guys every bloody one of ya.
After a long look and a good cry with some mates and Gregs family, they have decided to do a digital montage on one of them digital frames. They were so over whelmed with the skill and the art work they want to show them all.
They have asked me to give there heart felt thanks and gratitude to you all for your wonderful gift of your art you time and most of all compassion in this there time of mourning.
I just wanna say one more time you guys are better than a pool full of lime jello and 30 hot naked midget babes, thank you.
Every bloody one of you.
