Description
An illustration I created for the Japanese Rock magazine, "Purple Sky". The group's name is Buck-Tick. It was pretty fun to draw. The 4th guy at the top in particular, coz he looks like he just walked through a sandstorm in a desert of cocaine.It's not often you get to draw visual kei j-rockers and retain your masculinity. I GOT PAID FOR THIS SO IT'S ALL GOOD.
This is not a paint-over. This is an entirely original image and the members are in entirely original poses. For those of you who have pictures of these band members in your wallet, I am sorry if they are not of absolute likeness. I DIDN'T GET PAID ENOUGH!

The lighting is delightful as usual, especially on the guy on the far right. He must be the lead singer?
You took a lot of time on this one right? Five people in one room, whom you've never met, and you had to pose them in a certain way. Impressive!
Awesomeness!
