"SIXty∞NINe by D'espairsRay

Yeah, I know, the title...and it's not "teh pr0n!!!!111!!!11one!!111eleven!" I apologize for leading you on...well, sort of. I was trying to think of a D'espairsRay lyric to title this with and since I've been listening to their new album...excessively...this is what I came up with. :sigh: I'd probably be doing you a similar disservice if I translated some other lyric because, well, it's all pretty twisted. XD

Right. Enough on the title. I drew this BEFORE the new CD came out oddly, but I just scanned it now. Usually when I draw w/ pen and ink I do hatching and stuff to shade, but someone in my class is doing their concentration w/ ink breaking everything into solid shadows, and since her work looked really cool, I wanted to give it a try (that and I am SO tired of eating/sleeping/breathing/shitting freakin' watercolors!). Turns out this style isn't really for me. Over all, I don't like how this turned out much at all--especially since I really like the band and now def. feel the need to draw something good related to them after this -injustice-. That said, I guess it's sort of interesting-looking...
I think Tsukasa (far left) came out the best and maybe Karyu (far right) the worst? Karyu had the largest amount of pure white expanses to begin w/. Zero (2nd from left) looks freaky and all, but he sort of looked like that anyway during that era (he looked damn good in the Murder Day DVD if that's any consolation...).

So, I think I'll shut up now before I talk myself out of submitting this.

Material: Pen and ink on bristol board (this is NOT digital even if it looks sort of like an effect one can easily do to photos in PS)
Time: 5 hours tops
Size: 5"x12"
