Description
Full view for best viewing, plox.This is the last Guns pic, I promise.
These were on the other sides of the portraits and only took up about a third of the page. The other 2/3 was stuff I decided I didn't need to show here.
Izzy (whose extended arm I had to cut off to balance it all) and Slash were done almost completely without references, but I caved because I didn't know what their guitars looked like. Even then I didn't get them exactly right, haha. I think I had the "Paradise City" video in mind for most of them when I was drawing. I can't quite-ah remembah.
The colors come from the backgrounds of each of their portraits.
I had to clean them up a bit in Photoshop. My scanner made everything look a bit yellow, but it's all gewd.

AHH I love it. They're absolutely adorable, kind of caricature-like. I love your pencil lines too.

Muchly welcome! :3 Yer in my journal now, featured! Loved it. I'm just insane. I'm drawing Freddie for a Sept. 5th yay-joy upload thing, and made myself sad. Would you like to know why? I'm crazy. I'm drawing him in Slightly Mad mode, and I was just fiddling around with the BG trying to make it passable, and the weird purple pattern I ended up with at one point, coupled with the suit-thing, reminded me of this funeral home that we used to have all my relatives' funerals at (and there have been a LOT...). Which then made me sad. And then realized the pose his hands are in - ye know the one, fingers-splayed-on-chest , kinda Bo-Rhap-ish - OHGAWD IT'S LIKE THE DEATH POSE PEOPLE DO SOMETIMES.
... I'm CRAZY. ;_; To the point that I'm considering doing an ENTIRELY different drawing/coloring, even though I'm COMPLETELY DONE WITH THIS ONE. D:
... At least I got five days to deliberate and be a crazy person. xD

OMGAAAWWWD, thank you so much for the feature! Hawt diggity dawg. Oh man. I understand... when something ends up being the exact opposite of what you intended right before your eyes. You notice one thing, and then start to notice others and you're like "MAANNNN! The whole time? The whole time?!" (Mrs. Doubtfire reference.
)
If you can't think of anything, hey. Just explain it. Cuz that pic does sound pretty fun.

Yer so welcome, hon! :3 I loves featuring things I likes.
Agh, SLEEPY. As all get-out. Going to sleep in like. Two minutes.
But YES, that's... weird when that happens. Except you said it better. D: (I dun remember that line in Mrs. Doubtfire! I haven't seen it very much, though, and never all the way through from beginning to end.) Yeah, it was pretty fun doing the pic until I just went insane and depressed myself - I dunno, I may do another one (one can never have too much Freddie in their gallery, can... one? xD). For some reason this one just bothers me.
I don't think it even LOOKS like him very much, even though I used a reference and stuck as closely to it as I could. Maybe it's just the new coloring style I'm trying that's throwing me off, I dunno.
In any case, it's not a very celebratory pic. xD Especially as I kept trying to tone it down color-wise like a few people have been telling me to, so... it's definitely more subdued than a lot of my fun, colorful stuff.
Though frankly I think Freddie'd rather be bright and colorful than looking like he belonged in a funeral home. And I'd much rather adhere to the birthday boy's preference than a few critics of mine.
'Kay, that settles it, I'm doing another one. Still gonna upload this one, though, at some point. Perhaps two in one day. :B

Yeah, I've seen that movie way too many times.
Well, I'm looking forward to it... or them.
