its rely hard draw humans for me is looks awesome your art

Thanks you very much, I'm glad you like it. ^^

I always love seeing artists do self portraits.

Hehe... I admit, this is some "skill show off", indeed! XD

AND I would also point out: I am grateful for any +fav here... but people don't have to fave this. I mean, WHO seriously wants to have my face in his/her gallery? XD
It's okay to comment.
After all, I just wanted to show my latest drawing AND how I look like! ^^

This is REALLY good. Well done. o.o

Thanksssssssssssssssssssss ^^

And um, on a somewhat related note you look an awful lot like a guy in an episode of X-files I just saw. That was kinda eerie. I saw him. Then suddenly, I swore I saw him on FA - here. It was weird. x3

Gwaaaaaaaaaah!!! XD But at least I'm no the "Smoker", hehehe...

Oh god, cancer-man? He's creepy, he is. D; I'm still somewhere in season 4, so I don't know a ton about him yet. No spoilers! :B

oooh, great job on the shading.

Glad you like it!^

Wow, this portrait looks really amazing. I like the soft shade in some part, such as the side of face and neck.

Heheh, I have to say to it: Hello, there. :D

Yes, "hello there" might be right! XD

Yeah, that's me! ^^

Thanksssssssssssssssssssssssss

Damn. You really did a great job with this one!

The shading, lighting, and simply knowing how certain facial expressions will have a slight effect on the face itself and getting it across right. IMHO, it all works.

THANK YOU! ^___^ I'm happy you like it. Seriously, SELF-PORTRAITS are really difficult to do...

Dat Head

Almost bald, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! -..-"

And?

I'm 26 and I only got about as much left as you do.

Aw, you poor thing. I'm 33 (soon)! ^^"

You remind me of my politics teacher.

Hehehehe... maybe, all teachers look alike... XD

Hehe. Der Sketch sieht VIEL besser aus als der Sketch den du vor ein paar Jahren gemacht hast (bei dem ich der Meinung bin, dass du dich nicht gut selbst getroffen hast). Sieht wirklich toll aus {^}v'{^}

Oh, warte. Ist das ein MDA-Anzug?

Hi, du! ^___^ Du meinst das alte Ding hier:

http://reptile-universum.de/reptile.....ie/Patrick.jpg

Ja, der war furchtbar... ^^"
Das neue Portrait wird das Bild im Rahmen ersetzen.

Neee... das ist ein normales Sakko!

Youve definately improved, the old portrait looks like it wants to kill me.

XD Thanks... I would never do that.

Oh, und danke! ^^

OK, die "MDA-Stadt" ist nun auch hochgeladen... plus eine JPG, damit du es aufm Handy ansehen kannst. ^^

Danke! Sieht super aus

( ^*^ ) ( ) ('' )

^^ Aus irgendeinem grund hab ich immer gedacht du hättest einen kleinen Bart, keine Ahnung wieso.

Schaut echt toll aus.

Ich habe mal einen stehen lassen, aber der wird viel zu unsauber... ^^"

Woah, hehe, you look very friendly, and I love your smile

Thanks!!!!!!! ^____^ That's one of my best features, I guess.

Ha ha just one word to say!
Ooooooold Man! XDDDD

Yeah... old fart I am! XD

32 und schon eine Glatze? :O
Wie ist das möglich? owo

Och, da haben noch ganz andere schon FRÜHER keine Haare mehr. Aber du weißt ja:

"Wo Wissen und Verstand oft walten, können sich keine Haare halten"! ^____^

Schöner Spruch, muss ich mir merken :D

+1

Das Bild ist dir mal echt gut gelungen. Das shading kommt sehr realistisch rüber.

Vielen Dank für den Kommentar! ^^ Meist "verwische" ich ja nix, aber hier hat es gepasst.

Ja, diese Wischtechnik darf nicht zu stark eingesetzt werden

Nun hat man endlich mal einen Eindruck wer hinter dieser Schuppigen haut steckt.

Man sieht jedes mal die leidenschaft in deinen arbeiten, weiter so! =)

Ich habe zwar schon oft Fotos von mir gezeigt, aber klar... hier ist mal ein Artwork, das den Kopf (ha ha) hinter der ganzen Sache zeigt. ^^

Great!

jop muss man wirklich in voller größe sehen ^^ sehr gut gelungen, wobei du andere wohl immer lebensechter zeichnen wirst

Das stimmt... ich denke da mal an DEIN Bild, hehehe... das ist um Längen besser. Aber liegt wohl daran, dass ein SELBSTPORTRAIT immer schwer ist... vor allem, weil man versucht, möglichst still oder perfekt auszusehen. ^^"

I don't remember when I first saw a picture of you... but this looks identical to you. Nice job Reppy!

Hehehe, thanks very much. ^__________^

Awesome portrait I think this looks even better than one you did 6 years ago, shows also development, despite of getting more age and all that but its not important now XP Your choice of glasses by the way are also nicely stylish ;)

Yes, I was trying to draw TOO many details, such as my iris (eye)... and that really sucks. Also, the line art and shading was much worse 6 years ago. ^_^
Glad you like the glasses, hehehe.

Du siehst sehr gut aus!

Vielen Dank. ^^"

Who knew that one of the best reptillian artests was also the manager of a Staples!? :P *Wa, wa, wawawawaaa...*

Eh... *cough* IF I would, then I would not draw anymore! XD (either because of the time or because of the money)
*grins*
Hehehe... you flatter me. ^^" Thans a lot!

The shading is incredible! Cute too, what can I say, I have a thing for guys with glasses!

Glad you like my glasses, hrhrhrhr... ^^"
Also, I'm quite happy that nobody feels "disgusted" by the lack of hair and stuff... I mean, well... well... I lost it very quickly.

Pah! Don't be ashamed of it or anything, you are who you are! ^^

Gosh, it's hard to believe that 6 years have already come and gone. This portrait is absolutely fantastic. I love the shading and how it truly gives the feel of 3D, especially the eye brows. They really stand out and make the piece pop. The only thing is that your pupils look dilated as though you've consumed far too much caffeine or something and you're spacing out. (Perhaps the lighting used to take the picture for reference was dark. I don't know xD)

Beautiful work, Patrick. The only thing more stunning than the piece itself is how quickly you were able to muscle through it! 4 hours?! Wow! :D

Thanksssssssssssssss very much!! ^^
I also like how the hair and brows came out. AND the glasses, hrhrhrhr.

And you are right about the pupils... this has two reasons:
1) The glasses change my eyes and
2) it was rather dark in the room... that's why the pupils are that large. ^^"
Creepy, yeah.

4 hours, yes.

Oh my goodness, I can't believe my eyes.
The first time saw a picture of you!
*very excited and smile*

You look very wonderful human.
*hugs* Can't wait your birthday is coming.
I going to draw a gift for you, Patrick Reichel. Just you wait is going be great birthday gift ever!

Love it your artwork, Patrick Reichel.

Hrhrhr... believe it. ^__^" Yeah, that's me... *grins*
Thanks for the comment. ^____________^ And I'm looking forward, hrhrhrhr.

How handsome!

You think so...? ^___^"

Has anyone ever told you you look kind of like Hunter S. Thompson?

Gwaaaaaaaah... but I don't have sideburns or these huge glasses. XD

Glad to meet you

Not half bad, you look like a pro ^^

^^ Thank you! ^^

Welcome :)

Wow your nothing at all what I imagined O_o

I like to surprise.

haha well you accomplished that XD

Gestochen scharf, haste sehr gut gemacht.

^_________^

Remind me a lot of Robert Picardo, aka the EMH, or Emergency Medical Hologram on Star Trek Voyager. He also played Eddie, the main werewolf in the original Howling movie. He's a versatile actor, really surprised me with all he does - and of course you know what a big fan I am!

Hehehe, well... I still have a tiny little bit MORE hair than him... ^^" BUT you know when he played in the movie "Innerspace" (The Cowboy)??
He still had his hair then and lost it very quickly... just like me.
Oh, and he IS cool, indeed! ^^

Innerspace was a funny movie, one of the take-offs on "Fantastic Voyage" that really was intelligent but cute and silly as well. And it had Mike Myers, who I really think is funny - love all his Austin Powers films

that is a extremely well done portrait.

Thanks a bunch for the comment. ^^

Sehr schöne Arbeit, da erkennt man den Profi ^..^

(Täusche ich mich, oder hast du das bild von dir auf reptile-universum als Vorlage genommen. )

Hi und vielen Dank! ^^

Ja, das Foto war die Vorlage, stimmt. ^____^

I'm fav this because for someone who is other-kin that likes furry art, I have to say that you are pretty hansome for you age.

^__^" And I'm always wondering, WHO would fave this and WHY! Thanks very much.

It is painful to make eye contact with your drawing! That may sound like a criticism but it is actually a very real complement due to how real it looks! Making eye contact is very disturbing to me and your picture is so realistic I experience the same effect as if I was looking at a real person. Great Job!

Now to take my insanity to someone else's page.

Hehehehe... a real person, huh? ^^" Well, yeah... that's what I AM, after all!!! XD The REAL man behind the REPTILE! ^____^
And I know, sometimes... a close-to-realism-drawing can be "disturbing"... ^^

funny enough i especially like the hair xD Looks awesome man, its nice and clean and you look like a smart fellow ^^

My hair...... WHICH HAIR????????!!! XD
Thanks for the comment. ^^

I remember meeting you in the consuite of iFC. This looks just like you. Very very detailed! Great job!!!!!

Where did you meet me...?? I have never been away from Germany.... at least not that far.

Ahh... I got you flip flopped for the fellow you shared that locker room comic with a few years back. My apologies! You do look very similar in real life tho! Awesome pic ^V^

Aw, hehe... yeah, you're referring to "FalconMcCooper". I guess you met HIM! ^____^ (though he left this place somehow... nevermind)

I do plan on coming to a conventions in the future, though.

Hah! Remember what you told me once? "If i lost hair on the top i will shave myself like Picard" :D

Yes, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it's not really GONE yet!!!! ^_____________^

It goes to the top and I still got a LOT of hair at the back of my head. Really.
BUT if the top of the head would "meet" the back of my head... yes, that would be horrible and I would shave it all!! XD

Well, you look older with "hair" like that.

Yeah, he he... but I got used to it. ^___^ And I don't mind. Soon, it'll be gone totally.. so what.

I guess diplomacy is useless here, you look awfull :D

Thanks. ^^ That's what I wanted to hear, hehehe... plain honesty!!!

Yes, I know... but I can't make the step to the "total baldness" right now... ^^" I'm still not brave enough.
BUT in time... the razor will come to me...

Hun, you prefer to look funny and totally unattractive? :) Becouse right now you look like stereotype middle aged teacher who wasn't laid for like 30 years now :D

Well, the second part of the sentence is NOT correct, at all. XD

Aaaand ya know: attraction comes from within.

Anyway, I won't look like this for long.

aaaand ya know, first you must attract somebody to be interested in your insides :P Humans use eyes first. :)

Hopefully you wont :)

Fortunately, I never rely on my EYES first, when meeting a person. ^_^ Very important is the voice... the language/expression and the character (which I'd get to know later then). ^_______^

Most people... are attracted to my smile first... maybe, I can get valuable "points" with the smile (or butt) before they look at the hair! XD

MAby, but remember those are the other people who look at you, unless you carry a mirror infront of you for all the time :D Personally i guess i wouldn't be able to stop myself from laughing each time i look at you in such state :D

Hun, if nature/god or whatever wanted us to look at male butt first it would palce it your face, which by the way happens to alot of guys lately and it's attractivness is pretty doubtfull, women on the other hand have butts on their chests :)

Dammit... you females always have a natural advantage!! XD *grins*

And remeber that you ALREADY DID laugh about my hair once and in the last time... ^^" *smiles*

of course ww do, that's why we aresuperior over race of men :P

Yeah i did, but this time i would have more resons *hug* :D or more like less reasons :D

lol u look pretty cool ^^

I thought you'd say "pretty old", hehehe... aw, well THANKS! :)

lol no way ur young to me ^^
