Description

Now this one I really had fun with :XD: 3/6

When my friend first suggested I do a musician next, I was quite opposed to the idea. Draw an instrument? Pah! But then I thought it would look pretty cool, so I did it anyway.

The bricks looked better before I shrunk this down :( Oh well. I also looked at dozens of guitars for reference, plus I came up with my own design for it, so I can't cite any specific sources on that. And it IS NOT FLOATING OKAY. It has a strap. See that blue thing going across his chest to his shoulder? GUITAR STRAP.

Dedicated to algy, since she hasn't stopped drooling over him since I showed her the sketch.

P.S. - I know some people don't care for smokers, but I like adding a cigarette to characters sometimes :P If it helps, he's not real so he's not going to die of lung cancer, haha.

Most of it done in Painter, bricks done in Photoshop. Detail shots: www.bottledtalent.com/anime/orโ€ฆ www.bottledtalent.com/anime/orโ€ฆ

That's some nice work. I actually signed up to comment on this (well, I've been planning to for a while, but this made me sign up now). For whatever reason, that cig makes him look way cooler. It's 02:35 a.m. local time now, and I'm tired enough to lose my inhibitions and google "male pinup"... which, for whatever reason, makes deviantart show me lots of ponies *puzzled expression* But this a) is top-notch drawing b) let a gay guy tell you, it's hot as fuck and c) looks like a re-imagined character from one of my favourite book series.

Though, as a musician, I have to complain. Unless it's a baritone guitar, the neck is a good tad too long, and aside from the fact that I dislike PRS guitars (I know, not a specific model, but the headstock makes it look like one for sure, they've an easily recognisable design), aside from that, with the Jaguar-slash-Jazzmaster body and the long neck, it should be neckdiving like hell. Now way that lazily draped hand on it would hold it in that position, it'd point its headstock to the floor fur sure. Kudos for drawing an axe without a tremolo, though. And nice pattern on the strap.
