Description FULL VIEW PLZ!! (Oh yeah, this is my first portrait EVER, so plz go easy on me...)

This is the bassist for Keep of Kalessin, and his moniker is "Wizziac." Yeah, sort of a silly name, but I tell you, the man is one of the most physically beautiful human beings on the planet. He is also a real sweetheart who respects those who appreciate his music and whatnot. He's charming as a kitten, too. I met him after one of his shows, and he was just a little flirt!

I wanted to capture the essence of his angelic beauty in this picture. He has very fair features; he is light-skinned, slender, blonde, and has beautiful cheekbones. That's usually what comes to mind when I think of angels, so I figured that adding wings onto him would make a nice touch. However, and most fortunately, the photo which I referenced has his eyes as being very dark and flat, which gives him a rather sinister aura. I really love that about this picture...things aren't always what they seem.

Took about 50 hours, and the paper is 14x17. I used HB, 4B, 6B, 8B, and 9B pencils, and blending stumps. My reference picture is here : [link]

On a side note, I put that piece of paper in front of the drawing so that little bastards won't steal my art and claim it as theirs. Oh yeah, and this was for Wizziac's birthday, too, haha...and he liked it.

OH YEAH, SCANNERS HATE PENCILS, SO IT IS NOT REALLY THAT LIGHT, I PROMISE, ARGH!

Thank you, my dear. I really like the way this piece turned out...I was proud of myself, considering that it was my first portrait! I probably won't make another one like it though, since my art has changed so much.

Yeah, he is pretty nice...I wish I could have talked to the guys a little longer, but the stupid security guards at the venue kicked everyone out. >.<

Haha, you're so sweet! Actually, Wizziac said something along those lines too...but this is my first portrait, and definitely my last. It looks nice, but damn, it's so... boring. Kinda reminds me of the cover of a cheesy romance novel...

Hehe, thank you! Yeah, he liked it. I just put it on MySpace, so I guess he'll be tagged. Hah, some other girl made a drawing of the same picture, but mine is like 1,000x better...

My God Dragonfly, this made my day.

Here I am going through my deviations like trained chimp, looking at the same old things by the same old artists when BAM. Hit in the face with this masterpiece.

So thank you ^^

Wow, man! O_O That *is* beautiful. You captured a sense of such grandeur and general awesomeness Your use of contrast and shade is superb, too. The angel wings are a lovely touch too - honestly, I can see everything in this man simply from the way you've portrayed him. I play the bass too, so it's that much cooler for me. XD
Fantastic work my dear. Keep it up

AWWW thanks lovey! <3 Man, I wish you could see the real thing. Scanners are such assholes to pencil drawings, so I tell you, SO MUCH DETAIL has been washed out because of the damn scanner... I should stick to ink drawings, just because scanners seem to like those better. The image is much darker than it scanned--it looks about the same brightness as my reference picture.

On a side note, he read my message from MySpace about the drawing, but he ain't responded yet... I AM IN DESPAIR... or, he still really freakin' busy from this tour that's going on. It'll be over on Sunday, so I'm hoping he will write to me about it then. I worked my ass off on that drawing, dangit! ='(

Hopefully he'll respond. But yeah it's a shame about the scanner, although there's enough there for me to see it's a brilliant picture.

Really? Teeheeee...I really hope he does! You remember that Dimmu show you were jealous of me going to? Well, that's the show where I met Robin at. He was such a peach... oh man, if he doesn't like it, I'll never draw again, I swear!
