More practice; copy of this photograph: [link]
Miyavi on the right and, uh.... actually, I have no idea who the other guy is, and I can't find any info on this photoshoot on the web (because, uh, I don't know what to search for). He looks vaguely like Hyde, but google tells me Miyavi hasn't done a photoshoot with Hyde and it is more likely one of the Gazette boys, but google images also tells me that it doesn't look particularly like any of them, either.

Spent far too long on this thing and since most of it was done last June I no longer have any idea how or why or what I was doing for most of it. I skipped out on Miyavi's tattoos because I was sick of this thing. Finishing it last week was mostly several hours of heavy black color pencil.

Listened to Linkin Park while I was finishing it up, since I'm in a bout of hating myself (I know, and right after that motivational post, too--this is temporary, I promise, more of an incredibly-and-continually-pissed-at-myself rather than hating). It was all very lol-worthy and I knew it at the time, but I didn't care. ANGAR AND SELF-LOATHING, COME TO ME.

I guess I'm actually pretty pleased with it now that it's done, but of course since scanners and color pencils are in a long-standing feud, I had to go into Photoshop and blur all the black shit so that it didn't look so crappy after I scanned it. I hope that worked out all right.

plz excuse all this incoherent rambling; I am sick and know not what I say. wut.
