mmmmm is that a rainbow I see?

Whoops, I should have wrote that in my description! The reference pic for this was a photo of Gackt (Japanese singer of wow.), lying down in what seemed to be this HUGE pile bed thing 'o feathers...he was all soft and wistful looking in blues and purples and whatnot. He had his blue contacts in, though I like him better all natural and dark-eyed. This picture looks a lot darker now, though, and I like it more than the first one I'd posted.

The darkness of his eyes are really enthralling. Wow, this is beautiful. I've seen cd's of Gackt every now and then in anime stores, but I never bothered to buy them? What type of music genre does he sing?

Anywho, what type of art materials did you use to draw this? It looks like charcoal, but I could be wrong.

This is a great drawing. I like it very much!

I know. He had a lot of eye-liner on in that photo - it made his eyes look like something in a drawing, and not real ones! When I drew this pic, I kept fussing that the eyes didn't look real enough, but I coudn't change them because that's how they actually looked!!! ^_^ Actually, I think I darkened them some, but oh well!

I love this picture.. his eyes draw you right in. love it

You've SEEN CD's of Gackt's? WHERE?!?!?!?! Which country are you in...? (Must go check...)

Anyways, hear me ramble.....!
When Gackt first became all famous and stuff, it was when he was the lead singer to a group called "Malice Mizer" - an ultimately cool J-Rock band which I beleive was pretty famous itself, both in Japan and in the usual other pockets of places around the world. Gackt then went solo and now sings a very large variety of music, in many different styles. A good amount of his music is very soft, but all of it is packed with this raw emotion, sudden changes of volume and tempo, etc. - which as an artist personally seems to inspire me to draw the most beautiful things. His voice is pretty pure, but isn't annoyingly flawless like many of our popular artists in english....you can hear him taking in breath, you can hear the pain in his voice when he sings....overall, I find him the most SOULFUL singer I've ever heard. His music isn't part of an image, it's part of HIM - he writes most or many of his own lyrics, I beleive, and there's no person I would recommend more highly. Had enough of that? Bet you're sorry you asked...!
Either way, I used 0.5 B lead in a mech. pencil for the original pic (which scanned horribly but it IS posted), and for this particular version I enhanced it to a darker tone and then blurred it, giving it unintentionally a somewhat charcoal-ish appearance. But I like this version better.
