Description New fanart, guys!

This time it's Siouxsie Sioux, the gothic and punk queen of the 80s and Robert Smith from the Cure.
In the case you call yourself goth and don't know Siouxsie and the Banshees: I demand you to listen to them immediately. They were the band who invented the gothic rock genre along with other uk punk bands.

If you're not familiar with goth: please try them out though. I think they are one of the best post-punk acts of the 80s and early 90s, a real pearl of the old 80s music and pop scene. Their late works are more poppy and "mainstream" (if you can dare to label it like that...) but they still kept their unique sound and the deep and meaningful lyrics. And Siouxsie Sioux' voice is one of the most beautiful I have heard.

I doubt there is any need to introduce neither Robert Smith nor the Cure to you. I like them very much and I put Robert next to Siouxsie because he was playing guitar for the Banshees between 1982 and 1984.

Yeah, I tried to draw them in some sort of Chibi or Cartoon style and failed epically... but at least I got Siouxsie hair right. Her look here is inspired by the style she had during the Juju album era. And Robert Smith's chibi version looks totally different and not like the real Robert, sry X__X

Image title named after the song "The Sweetest Chill" by the Banshees. Listen here: [link]

Thank you very much. It makes me happy too to see people who like good bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees or the Cure. In my opinion the old post punk and pop bands are 100 times better than today's pop music. ^^

And you can't beat Siouxsie. She is pretty awesome and you've captured her look really well!

Thank you very much :3
Oh yes, Robert Smith is great. There aren't many people in the modern music and pop scene who are as crazy as him, especially when it comes to his singing style <3
