Description
I've always thought of Gackt as this really fake person with thick cakey make-up... until I read his Jihaku (Confessions). You can find the translated version here --> [link] (I must stress that this is not the replacement of the actual book)He's quite an inspiration to me. His seemingly passionate, eccentric and perfectionist ways...
has definitely affected my approach to some things.
Oh and of course, his music's great - especially the instrumental pieces.
media = 2B pencil

I apologize. I don't have the confessions saved, and it seems that the links on that website are dead.

I'm so in love!
Your montage is really good, especially with the positive and negative spaces.. it's such a beautiful composition, and with your pencil rendering skills... wow...
I love Gackt too, I'm obsessed... @_@
I think he's simply more than any other ordinary idol.

I totally understand your obsession with Gackt. It happened to me too! Gackt's eccentric, beautiful, obsessive and totally inspiring.

This is simply stunning... I'm in awe of your shading and coloring skills... So bold, and so smooth, you make him look almost real! I can really tell that you've spent a lot of time and effort, and so much passion put into drawing this. You have inspired me...

I MUST BUY THE PRINT. D: *shoe'd*
*cough*
But seriously...THIS just amazes me. Few people are ever really able to capture him well, but damn, you did. D: Those pictures are perfect; you've really captured who he is...both his talent, and him as a person.
And you know...I think a lot of people immediately assume a celebrity is completely fake, especially if they're popular, AND men who wear makeup. XD But nope...he is himself, on stage and off. That's why I love him. D:
I am just...in awe at this. And ONE PENCIL, you say? I...am speechless.
Let me just say that as soon as my paychecks get deposited...I am buying this print. Should probably be some time tomorrow.

ulos12 [2007-06-20 03:50:22 +0000 UTC]
i think the profile one with his guitar captures him the best, the middle one i think his eyes look a little too big.
i love how this picture flows. how you used the lights and darks to fade into the other pictures and how it's 5 different pictures but they all look like the go together. i find piecing things in this way to be extremely challenging >.>
i like the yellow haze in the background though i'm not sure if that was intended or from your scanner.

Thank you, thank you!!! Gackt's a silly, pretty, dorky and cute man, who's also a great inspiration to me. So, I kinda HAD to put in some extra hours of love for him, on this drawing.
Thank you for the fav! (Am looking your Gackt drawing now)

T0T so after poking around your gallery...my eyes wide from looking at so much awesome work...i came across this...and as a hardcore fan of Gackt...i could not resist. It's amazing...*.* you blended all of the faces so nicely together....and your shading work is nothing short of perfect. When i come across the cash I am going to buy a print...seriously...i'm not just saying that...i want this one my wall..so i can see it before i sleep...Amazing work!!

Thank you!!! *feels very very flattered*
And thank you too for wanting to buy my print!! I seldom have anyone buying my prints, this is pretty exciting for me!
If you want a larger print than the ones that are already in my store, please feel free to tell me. I scanned a hi-res version of my drawing a long time ago and I've lost the file, but I still have the original A2 drawing with me and I can re-scan it if you want.
Thank you, again!!

oh really!! OwO i was going to buy the biggest one you had on sale...lol....but i wasn't sure i could visualize how large that would be. When i get ready to purchase i will note you to let you know! Thank you!!!

ciaee In reply to Nocturnal-Doll [2007-04-23 23:03:24 +0000 UTC]
The biggest one I have on sale is 8" X 12".. That'd be around the size of A4. That's quarter the size of the original. Quite small, methinks.
No, thank YOU! (and also to Gackt-sama for his prettiness and eccentric character that makes girls like us go... *melts*
)

Yea, it's pretty small to be put on the wall... But like I said, if you want me to make a larger version available as a print, just note meh and I'll rescan it the original A2 size!
