I honestly think I love this man far too much for my own good, haha. xD The quote is something from The Joker; I worked it in here because it's certainly applicable to Synyster. But like ... there are other things I find amazing about him. Like how he didn't do well in school, how he worked in a family business doing paving or something revolving around construction and like ... the fact that he can get a tattoo done and be on the fuckin' phone to someone at the same time. XD It's not just because he's insanely talented and gorgeous, I like the person he is too. C:
I got a copy of "Kerrang!" magazine on Wednesday; there was the tiniest of tiny features of Avenged Sevenfold; they had a shot of Synyster until just after his shoulders, and I just felt like sketching something random, so I started to draw him without really thinking about it.
It's been a while since I used his anthro-ized form (he's a Pit Bull hurhur), and there are a few changes I've made ... like, for instance, he doesn't have the patch over his right eye anymore. Also, that new roman numeral tattoo (which is seven if I have it right), and the fluffy face hair. XD
I used three different shades of brown in his hair, just because his hair fascinates me however he has it. XD There's never just one shade of brown there dude.
I used guidelines for his face and neck only; the clothing I just sketched how it is now. I made up the design on the t-shirt myself, and the colours I picked for his jacket and jeans are totally random. Even tried a little more shading practice, haha.
Oh my goodness, I wanted to try drawing the Deathbat again, since my last attempt was ... somewhat shitty, and I must say... aside from how Syn's face turned out, it's my favourite thing about this. I was kind of worried that it'd be super-hard, but it wasn't. The eyes were the only thing that gave me a bit of trouble; the rest came easy.
Yey for picking out lyrics that mean things to you and drawing craptastic versions of musical notes, too. XDDDDD
