Description They are being loved and despised for their oddity, weirdness and originality. But in the end, they don't mind what people think about their behaviour. I guess they have created their own freedom of art and music. <3


6 quick (scribbled) sketches of young eccentric singers with funky haircuts that I like. I gave them a new make-over by giving rainbow hair colours.



From left to right:
Björk Jared Leto Kelis
Matt Bellamy Lady Gaga Adam Lambert



Although they are original individuals on their own, they do have 1 thing in common: their love for having extremely weird haircuts (and make-up but that's a subject we'll leave for another day).


Also, they are somehow connected to each other, the so called "Six Degrees of Separation". Can you find their connection? Start with Björk and you'll end with Adam Lambert.

First clue: Jared Leto covered a song of Björk, called "Hunter". He also covered somebody else's song...


-------

Bruynzeel coloured pencils & H 0.5mm mechanical pencil on crappy quality paper. A few references used, but nothing specific. About 4 hours of time.


This summer I offer coloured and non-coloured sketches for $15 per head! You can reserve up to 3 small portraits of whoever you want. Note me if you are interested. :D

Jared Leto as in 30 Seconds to Mars covered Lady Gaga's song 'Bad Romance' ( :
I'm going to find other connections between these six amazing artists ( :

It was a bad Bad Romance
Yay good luck figuring it out (though you can read most of them by browsing the other comments hehe )

OMG, Jared Leto is perfect! by the way, EVERYONE is perfect... but you should have used pink as Jared's color. hahaha and his version of Bad Romance is awesome. <3

I changed their haircolours on purpose

and no it wasn't 8D we all know it, but no-one talks about it. But it's okay 30STM is great anyways!

how can you say it wasn't?! HAHAHA man, at first it seemed weird, but now I really think it's awesome. they did some better covers (their version of Stronger is one of my favorite songs, and I don't like Kanye West at all >_>), but Bad Romance is still so good... and omg, Jared singing in french, even if it was for only 5 seconds, was like a dream coming true. <3 HAHAHAHA

I didn't recognize Kelis because I haven't heard of her. And I didn't recognize Bjork because, well, your drawing of her is actually one of her least eccentric moments. XD I definitely recognized the other four immediately though. I'm pretty sure I've got the Six Degrees of Separation down for them too...I think...

Cataclysm-X In reply to drgnladyblue [2010-07-12 18:55:05 +0000 UTC]

hahaha that's cool
Kelis usually makes R&B/Hip-Hop/Pop music. However, her latest song Acapella is simply beautiful. And not only that- the music video that comes with the song is a moving piece of art too

Haha Björk, she has had a lot of different hairstyles and outfits. She's amazing

i think the purple one is my favorite, but the green mohawk is a very close second.
i'm mad jealous of your wicked color pencil skills. they all have very nice hair

Cataclysm-X In reply to A-san [2010-07-12 18:58:24 +0000 UTC]

Those are my 2 favourites too! I liked to draw them the most (and they were the easiest ones as well ).

vladimir-the-hamster [2010-07-12 05:25:44 +0000 UTC]

I'm amazed how recognizable they all are from just the profiles and hair. XD But I guess eccentric hair helps. haha.
Except I don't know who Kelis is. I'm ashamed. :$
Though I did figure out connections between the other five! (though some are a bit... vague)
This is such a cool concept, though.

I looked at the faces before the comments and thought I was going nuts for seeing Leto and Gaga. Glad to see I was right. Great job capturing their faces with so few strokes!

I recognised Lady Gaga straight away. It might have been the lightning bolt, or maybe the nose. I guessed Matt and Jared because I know you like them! xD I actually mistook Adam for Bowie at first. Huh. And I love the colour you have for Kelis' hair.

MukeiRoyalty In reply to ??? [2010-07-12 03:18:30 +0000 UTC]

I am assuming that most of these artists have either done a cover of the previous one or have worked with the next one in the line, because I know that Adam Lambert had worked with Lady Gaga on one of his tracks.

I recognized Lady Gaga first, for her nose and the lightning bolt, and then Bjork. Then Lambert. Then Bellamy. I love Muse xD I also love Bjork. You should have added Manson, though D: He's still around... just, in the shadows.... where he should be..... lol.

Chromattix In reply to ??? [2010-07-12 01:18:51 +0000 UTC]

Lady Gaga definetily has "weird" all over her but I bet that's half the reason to her success you forgot to include the musicians with the most bizarre and beautiful hair of all - Jrockers

Cataclysm-X In reply to Chromattix [2010-07-12 08:39:13 +0000 UTC]

Don't like Gaga eh?

I'm not familiar with Jrockers, and I wanted to make sure I liked the musicians I was drawing

Chromattix In reply to Cataclysm-X [2010-07-12 13:56:19 +0000 UTC]

Lol, Gaga's alright - her dam songs get stuck in my head though I don't listen to Jrock music, but the singers are gorgeous - their style in hair, clothes, makeup etc makes them look like real life Final Fantasy characters

I actually really love this for more than just the fact that all of them have amazingly unique and badass hair, but for the fact that I too have an odd hair style for a girl and I'm sick of the way people treat others who look different. Fav'd, I LOVE THIS
