FINALLY FINISHED

^^ I'm very please. as my watchers might have realise probably my biggest weakpoint is decent backgrounds for anime characters. I can never get them right. and this time I got it quite decent. the colour scheme and the theme of the picture etc all fit quite nice. of corse theres always faults people and pick and pick and pick at. but people who live their lives as a constant critiques, I'm guesing they don't have very fun lives cause nothing would ever make them happy, they'd just pick out faults.

So this is Peter. a character of ~dark-rogue's ... from our serice of storys we have. he may look innosent, but thats just his act.

the cowboy theme is NOT related to break back mountain in any way. it was not inspired by it or whatever. I think the whole cowboy thing probably came from studing Of mice and men in english lessons. I don't know much about the american depression times yah know the whole "american dream" of getting like a BIG plot of land and a ranch of their own, cause we don't learn much about that time in history in england ... we learn about british history and women rights ... -_- ... but I hope the ranch and senery is right. My great grandad worked on a ranch. I saw a painting of him my grandad did, its got these sorts of colours, maybe lighter. my grandad actually painted it looking at a black and white photo, he showed my great grandad and he said it was exactly the right colours.

XD lmao ... ignor the crappah shading on the sunburst guitar .. I had no reference.

I was actually walking round the city center with a note pad, pencil and that weeks NME. I just flicked through it for pictures of guitars. lmao nothing as a particular reference. I didn't draw it acurate ... my bass has around 20 fretts ... I dunno if electrics have the same or what ... T_T I'm gonna have to learn guitar chords ... "so I can link notes better" or whatever ... I'm gonna rob one of mums many guitars and teach my self from her old books ... bleh ... shouldn't take long ... well ... I gotta learn strumming and crap ... T_T walky fingers on the bass ... much easier.

XD I was in the 99p store with my mum and dad drawing this and some guy was like "look at the ladys picture" and lifted the kid I was like "ignor ignor" ... then we got in the que to pay and there they where again gorping over my shoulder. very offputting. bleh ... awh well.
