Viktor Krum - book version

This is more like a photomanipulation/photobash/overpaint/whathaveyou than an actual legitimate painting but dammit I'm proud of it Q_Q
The actor who plays him in the movies is just... the polar opposite of what he looks like in the books, which is a tad bit disappointing, so I've been trying to draw him as he is. As I'm not really familiar with these particular facial features I came up with the solution to do studies of three different people with the fitting features and mix those later... But I didn't calculate with the pitfalls of my complete artistic incompetence, and he didn't really click, so I thought, what the hell, let's try cheating it. And then this happened xD

For those curious: these were my three base images: wfiles.brothersoft.com/a/adrie… kathrynruthd.files.wordpress.c… 38.media.tumblr.com/9d1767f3b2… , I cut them together, desaturated the whole thing, flattened it, pushed it around with liquify until it matched the image in my head, slapped some colors on it and painted the whole thing over so everything would match nicely and blend together, and voila

I'll still be trying to work him out, I have my ideas and references and whatnot, but I kinda suck artistically and it ends up looking weird so IDEK =_=
