Artist's Comments

...that he can be seen only in shadow. Or something. Anyway, it's Samoth, a black metal icon, during the Emperor reunion tour.
Yeah, this is actually just an experiment with drawing with an ebony pencil, which kindly suggested to me. I chose a simpler photo for reference so I could focus on the pencil's abilities. I'll have to poke around with it some more before I get really comfortable, but I'm happy with my results so far. It's definitely a tool I'll use in the future.

Wow...that's so cool!

Being the idiot fanperson that I am, though, I can't help but see AC in the silouhette...But if you didn't tell me I'd totally have thought it was a photograph!

Your mastery of greyscale with a pencil is astounding.

Thanks! :)
Who's AC? (I feel like an ubernerd for having to ask, and I know as soon as you explain I'll go "oh, YEAH..." ;) )
