Description
Everyone knows a time when you feel like you would rather curl up and let the world escape you, and suddenly time has stopped for you but the rest of the world keeps going, keeps pushing. All those times when you had wished that curling up would give you an easy escape and it didn't.I have been wanting to draw a picture like this with Wade in it ever since I heard the song "man fading" by Kenna that maui ([link] ) sent me. Just now I got it somewhat the way I want it. I used Sharpie, a V7 roller ball, and india ink. I used PS to make the windows because I knew I would screw up badly with sharpie. I messed up my keyboard when I sprayed this with black ink. Now it looks like my keyboard has some sort of disease.
"i'm just a man fading, I've been a little bit jaded, everybody wants to get on....the neon lights have got it on" - kenna "man fading"

Very expressive, the texture makes me think of how gritty the city is. Very nice job. I should decorate my keyboard too.

Holy crap! This is incredible. Awesome! The ink splatters, oh the ink splatters. How do you do that? I wish I knew.

its easier than you think! With paper or as maui has told me, rubber cement, you cover what you don't want to splatter. Then taking an old tooth brush (which trish taught me!) and dip it in the said india ink. Run your thumb over the bristles over your image and viola! You have splatters. Just make sure its in a place where you can get everything dirty. >_>

That's badass. See, there you go with that badass black and white thing again. The pic is very expressive. I think it captures the mood perfectly.

I've gotten bad at commenting. Inthe sense of making semi-good comments. Either way, I feel this...it makes me happy. I love Wade. Something about him...just...I dunno. He has this energy that I like.

That is really wickedly expressive, something intense no doubt with his positioning and the way you inked it almost giving it a 'rough' fell, not like a draft, more like, it's not a soft picture.hehe I make no sense

I duno what to say to a picture like this, emotionally anyway .-.
But I really like the composition, as usual. And teh use of no colour and the very nice line-work (:3

The fucking brilliance of this does not escape me. Rather, it grabbed me by the throat and shook me around for a while. " If I were you..and I wish that I were you..." haha...the rest of the song doesn't apply, at all. But I'm such a fan, Vert, you know it. And this is..godly.
*heart*

Really nice job on this, it's a lot more expressive than a lot of your pin-ups. Not that the other stuff is flat, this is just nicely up a level.

wow tessa i'm blown away. i don't know what you were talking about .. about not being able to do blood. even though you said this isn't necessarily blood, it looks like you know exactly what you're doing. this is amazing, i'm really impressed. and i'm really happy that you liked those songs too.

y'know... this would be perfect as some poster for a gig of the hardcore/emo sorts~
"rabid grannies, refused & infested minds" instead of the windows on the left. the time, price and place on the left car and who's handling the gig on the road. all lines exploding from the centre and out. aw maan, hehe. it'd look GREAT I tell ya!
you could check out the flyers becky has put up on [link] if you haven't already

Hi there~ *is not sure if she's already left a comment or not* ...
I read Kill the City on your website today; it's one of the best comics I've seen in ages and your artwork's inspired me to get off my butt and practise my own inking for once. ^^;
This picture is just spectacular; I love the pose and the foreshortening. And don't feel too bad; at least your keyboard isn't an impromptu ash tray like my old keyboard was. o_O
