I see that Mr. Voltaire is one of the many citizens of the Land Of The dead.

Wonderful song and a cool pic with a awsome perspective *take a closer look* hmm, the second person from the right looks like Voltaire himself...

Yep. That's V! Well... sorta. An homage to the man.

I'm curious, are any of the people on the right supposed to look like specific people. I think the dude 4th from the left in line looks a bit like Voltaire if he were from guillotine era France (can't remember which century exactly). Very well done as always.

Yo.

MyDyingRose In reply to heyyouinthebushes [2006-07-31 13:51:52 +0000 UTC]

Yup! That guy is definitely a nod to V himself!

Psst.... I put the Jeff's Days stuff you sent me on my jump drive so i can work on it while i'm at Jeremy and Lucy's this week. I'm going to at least try and sketch out some ideas

Well, I very very very much hope something worthy of a DA post comes from it. Regardless, any progress on any of the projects you're working on is good news to me. Looking forward to all of them.

Yo.

Hopefully i won't be working too late this week. We're coming up on rush season, so i'm gonna be gettin some good overtime cash. The trade off is that i have even less time for art

Well, the lines are done by traditional dip pen, but the shading was with photoshop.

MIDeviant [2006-07-26 10:17:44 +0000 UTC]

Wow....first let me commend you on tackiling the concept from such an ambitious angle. I love the vacant look on the crowd as they seem to have their eyes totally fixed on something else, totally oblivious to what's happening next to them. I like your style of using pasty blotches and textures within your work. You always give the impression that we don't know the full story for each piece

God, I love that song...
Anyways, I absolutely love this! The perspective is just amazing, and I love how the bystanders seems completely expressionless. I think it really adds something to the peice.

Rogue-Darkholme [2006-07-13 23:57:30 +0000 UTC]

This goes wonderfully with the song. I don't know if this was intentional, but the fourth guy to the right looks a bit like Voltaire.

I'd love to see what you could do with "The Vampire Club" in mind..

MyDyingRose In reply to Rogue-Darkholme [2006-07-15 20:59:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that V lookalike was definitely intentionally... a bit of a head-nod

I've pondered the Vampire Club... you never know. I might do one for that in the future
