Description

This is a charicature of one of my favorite tv characters, Deputy Barney Fife, played by Don Knotts. Don passed away on Friday at age 81. I've always wished I could leave the real world and live in Mayberry. Maybe someday I'll get to go fishing with Barney and Andy.
**** This is supposed to be much more of a cartoon representation, than an exact likeness. I find it very difficult to do charicature work with Poser. I made the hat, bullet and badges and used Questor's revolver. Rendered in Bryce and then worked it hard in Photoshop

Fantastic image of Don Knotts character. Barny Fife s' Mayberry is the simple life we all long for.

Charicatures are tough to do, but I think you've done it pretty damn well. Good stuff :)

I see what you mean about it being hard to do a good caricature. Still, not bad!

Superb! As someone who grew up watching the show, I share your viewpoints. When I learned of his death, I wrote a short, tribute piece for him. Maybe, I'll post it? T.P.
