Aside from looking like he's situated in front of the outfield wall at Wrigley, the other thing everyone started pointing out after the portrait was unveiled is what looks like an extra finger on his left hand...
https://pjmedia.com/trending/artist-give-obama-extra-finger-go-freakishly-large-hands/ Also his hands are the size if his forearms in this portrait. I know his hands are big compared to Trump's "tiny hands", but they make Andre The Giant's hands look small here. |
For one....what? are people really too stupid to reconise that a hand has a fleshy muscular part below the pinky finger? It starts next to the knuckle, below the ligament. The shadow is maybe a little stark, but there is nothing anatomically surprising about this hand. That part also starts sagging with age, btw. And how on earth do you not reconize the 'spare middle finger' as a pinky finger?
As for the forearm bit, a little bit on actual body proportions (on average, variations on this is what gives characters uniqueness in character design and what makes us reconize Trumps hands as 'tiny') :
Normally your feet are roughly the size of your forearm. If you put your thumb into the crook of your elbow and lay your hand on the inside of your arm, your index finger will reach your wrist. (If it doesn't you have disproportionally short fingers).
Again, the way his hands are positioned with his arms crossed just below the wrists, there's nothing particuliarily surprising about the anatomy. Ombama has long fingers, but it's not a big exaggeration, or anything. (For abnormally large hands look at the stature of David by michelangelo, he accounted for the frog perspective that the average viewer of the statute woud have, looking up at him from the floor and gave him larger hands and head to visually shorten the perspective.)
