Iconoguy is having a lot of success delivering one-of-a-kind caricatures done directly from your
photographs. No more sitting there squirming while the artist tries to get it "just right" in front of a bunch of rubber neckers
in the local mall.
Contact us directly and we'll set you up in one of our many different styles of renderings such as the
"Retro" style, or the "Sketch" style or our newest offering: the "Extreme Cartoon" style. Realistic portraiture is also available. All
styles are full-color, but monotone such as black, white and grey, is popular, too.
"CARTOONY" STYLE CARICATURE By far our most popular style we dubbed "Cartoony" for obvious
reasons. Your caricature in this style will show off your wildest, wackiest side, and be the most abstract. It's really fun, and while
maybe not so quickly recognizably "you," it probably captures a person's "essence" best, and is the best style of all our
choices.
"RETRO" STYLE CARICATURE This style is our second most popular. It looks "retro" because
it harkens back to the style of the 50's & 60's with it's flat shading and dark outlines.
It also looks a little
like a "paint by number" painting, also very popular "back in them days."
This young lady to the left is a professional model. She pointed me to her MySpace page and I chose a photo I liked, then created
the caricature from it.
You can see here the final product as well as the photo below it.
This gives you some kind of idea of
what yours will look like, the differences and why a caricature is better than a photo in many ways.
It's definitely more "fun" and
also grabs your attention faster than just a photo. It's more colorful and simpler, of course more stylized.
Here's another example of the Retro syle.
And it is by far the more popular out of the two color versions (Retro or Sketchy).
You may have noticed some added props to our artist here. The customer requested we add a berret & and paint brush,
to give her that "artist look." We happily obliged, and we can do the same for your caricature. Just be sure and tell us ahead of
time when you order.
Here's an example of the 3 "realistic" style caricatures we do, and the photo that inspired them.
First of all, there is this "Retro" style.
And here we have the "Sketchy" style.
Finally, this is our "Greyscale Sketchy" style.
He doesn't look too happy does he? He's really just a good actor!
Here's another example of the "Sketchy" style to the right.
"Hmmm. I wonder why he wants a photo of me anyway."
AND finally an example again of the "Retro" style of the young gentleman to the left here.
Here's the original photo.
And here's my good friend and client Cindy Ingram in the fun "Cartoony" style.
