Description
Support me on Patreon and get exclusive contentNOW AVAILABLE AS A PRINT!!!
From my most recent set of Art I thought I would begin with this one. Bad to the Bone.
Its a T-Shirt print, hence the fading off to the edges.
Its based on a concept, that of Heavy Metal Skeletons, thats sold well before so we thought we would try it again. This was the result.
My only personal gripe about this one is the hair, he looks like he's caught in a force ten gale rather then rocking out.
Aaaah well, nothing I can do about that now.
Enjoy
EDIT: Firstly, the response to this being a DD has been seriously amazing. I could never reply to you all if I hope to get any work done today. So thanks for your kind comments.
Secondly, many of you have mentioned this Guitar Hero game thingy. Well, this image was done before Guitar Hero was released, acording to my data on the PC, my Artwork was finished on the 5th May 2007, Guitar Hero was released in October/November 2007.

Until this image was DD'd, I had never seen anything to do with Guitar Hero appart from the occasional Advert on the radio. So for the few who's comments were not so kind, please get your facts straight before you judge someone, as it seems I came up with the idea for this guitar BEFORE Guitar Hero did. Maybe they saw this image and copied me??? Who knows.
I will have to have a play of the game sometime though.

Pretty cool. The whole heavy-metal-skeleton can be a little tired sometimes, but this manages to come across as sort of "classic", rather than just clichΓ©d. Nice work!

Seriously badass. Wonderful attention to detail, great use of perspective. Bravo!

Ah well just think, heavy winds are pretty hardcore, and metal is definately. It fits perfectly. When I saw this on the DD page I was thinking it'd be an awesome band shirt, and when you said it was a shirt design I got all excited.
I love the colour choice in it, very metal concert-esque and also the little details are phenominal (little cracks in the bone, etc).
Well done!

Definite Eddie pose reference. Looks awesome!

Heheh, actually no, I didn't use any Eddie Reference for this. But there are clear parallels admittedly.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow. No references? Then that pose must be the very essence of heavy metal!
Seriously, though, that is awesome. You captured the spirit of metal perfectly! The gale force winds actually works really well: the intensity of the music embodied.

Heavy metal indeed!
Keeping the spirit true. Amazing work, I think you've captured it perfectly.

Everyone keeps mentioning this. I've heard of this Guitar Hero thing-a-me, its a computer game right? I'd be interested to see this devils guitar if anyone has a picture of it?
