First and foremost. Yes. I did the calligraphy, no, I didn't just use the computer for it. And yes, it took a really, really, really long time. Second, that is all ink, I didn't just fill it with photoshop like I usually do, I went at it with the Prisma colors for a few hours until the damn thing was solid. So that's why this is in traditional art. (though the lame black border was in photoshop)

This is M. Shadows, the lead singer of Avenged Sevenfold... or at least it's supposed to be. (Boy do I love him, he's gorgeous and has an amazing voice. Okay... but I don't love him as much as I love Gerard >.> ) I guess he looks alright, I'm not particularly proud of this piece, but I like how the webbing and the calligraphy came out. D: and god damnit, tatttoos, I only know what a few of them actually are cause I had such a hard time finding reference pictures of them, so it was basically me staring at really tiny magazine clippings to try and get them as close as I could.

I might make a series of these, of my favorite musicians. Right now I know I want to do Gerard, Frank, Ray, Synyster, Davey, and Zacky. But, we'll see. We know how my projects usually fail.

Not sure if I'll color or shade this. I haven't decided. It'd be a shame to see this suddenly get really ugly by my coloring it. Oh well, if anyone wants to take a stab at it, I can send you the much bigger original file. (like 3500x3500 pixels... it was a rather large piece of paper)

In honor of the new A7X album that releases on tuesday. I'm excited c:
