I painted this portrait of the late wrestling legend Rowdy Roddy Piper for a friend's Christmas present.
I chose to depict Piper with both angelic and demonic characteristics to signfy his brilliance as both a babyface (wrestling terminology for "good guy") and a heel (wrestling terminology for "bad guy"). The photo did not come out as well as I would have liked. The flesh colors appear more merky here than on the original.
