Artist's Comments

I am re-submitting this for a couple of reasons. First,..... the previous photo/scan was terrible. Second,... let's honor the greatest band ever; Megadeth!! :D ;) (I'm so against fan-art, but I had to make an exception here. hehehe)
Gigantour was pretty cool, BUT.......the sound system was kinda mediocre, and there was a curfew. So.... although the performance was good, it was hurried in order to fit in as many songs as possible. I first heard Megadeth play in a small venue, and it was one of the best musical experiences for me. It just plain ROCKED! Unforgetable fusion. That's the only way I can describe it.

I was going through my sketchbooks, happened to find this drawing, so I took a new photo. I drew this many years ago from a reference photo in Hit Parader Magazine. I used a mechanical pencil. Although not the best drawing (proportions may be off here and there), I really like the way I put the lines together to create shadows. I remembered that's how I used to shade everything back then. Pretty good method/style, so I'm not sure why I stopped. The drawing is a little smaller than the full-view.

Oh, how awesome! I'm glad you had fun at the Gigantour... so jealous, wish I could've seen some of those bands. tee hee. Anyways, it's a good tribute to Dave. :nod:

Alright, I have to say right off that, from the day I started drawing with pen and ink, I've been a sucker for uniform hatching like this. It creates a rhythm and a texture that has a life of its own, and which seems to hide behind the image you create. I've done it a few times with the ink drawings, and I've almost always loved the result. This is a really good use of it, and I must point out how thoughtful (or just intuitive) it was to have the lines going in the direction he is looking. It creates a psychological movement to it. This is really good, especially for something in a "sketchbook." Just accept it: you're really good. No arguing with me. ;)

Oh please,... you know I'll never give in. ;) The day I do, it will be the end to my improvement. :fear: I have to admitt though,... that cross-hatching does impress me, mostly because I don't think I'd be able to replicate it today. Those were the days when I spent hours drawing, every day. In fact that's one of the things I really love about your ink drawings! That's what pulls me back for more (aside from all the other stunning stuff you do with ink). I'm thinking I may have studied DaVinci's drawings back then, and picked up on that cross-hatching.

You know,.... since they played on a College Campus, they wouldn't allow them to have 8 bands playing. :pissed: They had to cut it down to like 6 instead,... and of course the curfew. :no: Dave really kicked ass, and did his best to give the audience the best show possible under those circumstances. The other bands were great too. Whenever I heard the electric guitars (especially the solos), my insides started to melt. :D Damn... there's just something about them.

:no: I never win... :cries: Okay, I apologize in advance for this, but I must clarify this little bit of semantics here. Now, by "hatching," I'm referring to the parallel lines used throughout for shading, like these //////. "Cross-hatching" is where the lines go in two different directions, like these ###, right? The "Rats" stuff is FULL of cross-hatching, but pure hatching like you've done here you won't find in much of my online stuff, save for "Naglfar," which is my favorite such work in my stuff. I don't mean to start yet another argument here with this, because I'm tired of losing everything everytime... ;) :laughing:

Shading is gorgeous. I particularly love that gleam in his eye. That's something I need to get the hang of. It almost makes him seem more.. swept up in a moment. You should do portraits more often. ;)
