A Man of His Wordby ~Straye-Close

Digital Art / Typography / Other

**EDIT-- Well so many of you asked for higher res, so this is as high as I could get without my laptop crashing

This is my pride and joy! I have never dedicated this much time into anything and have it turn out so magnificently! I started this last semester and the teacher gave me an A because she knew what was going to go through haha! So now something like 3 or 4 months later I am done! I can not express in words how extraordinarily happy I am right now! I just want to thank all of my friends and family for getting me through this! haha The file is so large i had to find a better computer to finish it on because my laptop could not handle him! I AM SO ECSTATIC RIGHT NOW! WOOT!

Anyways for those who are interested:
time spent: 150+ hours (I lost track after a while)
Yes every bit of this says something in text... from his hairs all the way to his pupils!
I was advised in not taking the easy way out by using I's and )'s for hair, so every hair is his name.

His portrait consists of
1. his name Morgan Porterfield Freeman Jr.
2. Movies/Tv shows he's in
3. some names of the people he's played in those films
4. Just about every quote I could find for those movies
5. and a few awards he has won for being so great!

p.s. Thanks to

~TaxisAreBlack says: ''Well, over 100 hours put into something and a good result, gives it enough reason.''

Also suggested by ~iHaz who says: ''Christ! When first viewing this thumbnail one would think that it would either be a photograph or skilled drawing.What is amazing is that it is neither and is easily one of the most epic typography portraiture that I have ever seen. With very, very small test in most of it, it is very easy to see all the hard work slaved away to give us this great piece.''

And by =Raishuu: ''I don't know much about text art, but this piece just amazes me! It is easily recognisable, full of detail and seems to have taken an awful lot of work, dedication and patience. And it's not just random letters, every part there says something, his characters' names, movies he was in, quotes, awards he won - every hair is his name! I'm blown away and I hope you are, too!''

And I couldn't agree more with the suggesters. Fantastic work! A Man of His Word by ~Straye-Close ( Suggested by ~TaxisAreBlack and Featured by !Sander-Seto )
