cheers bm, now i am getting the page from the thai government,
the page is blocked here, just like youtube is blocked. sadly i cant see the picture

Yes, it happens aswell in China, Cuba, and you know those countries well known for their freedom speech.

However, I think there are sites that act as bridges, you go to the site peewee which may not be blocked, and the site brings the video to you. When I have time I'll look what site you can use, I think that block can be bridged.

yeah sabre, is it similar to when a work blocks sites you can use a different host or something?

you tube is blocked because there was a video that was slightly offensive to the thai knng, its been blocked about 6 months now

Without your telling us how and why I would reckon it is your profession.

It's actually just a hobby, but I did used to make a half arsed living from it painting murals for people's rooms and business' and stuff.

To answer the question on did I use picture references, yes, I did. Though the images I used, I changed somewhat. He was wearing Athletico shirts, as there were no images of him wearing our's at the time, so I'd to create those on my own. Also, the dilemma of creating a proper composition was the only difficult part, like chosing to have the arm protruding over the middle Torres or not. I decided to leave that as it looks like he's pointing towards the crest. The composition of the flag wrapping round and the Liverbird burting out of it into flames just came to me as I was working on it as the Spanish flag's colours were perfect for that. Though now I do feel slightly guilty for not adding a forth figure somewhere in the middle of Torres in a Athletico shirt. Ah well.

Thanks for the feedback, anyway, fellas. Oh, and yes I do plan to do more of these. In fact, I've one planned of Gerrard, that ends up taking a bit of a twist. Just something different from the usual.

What? if we paid 3M for him, you could feel a bit guilty, but for the money that's been paid, he's well and totally red now no need to paint his former club shirt.

Excellent work
