Description

*FULL VIEW PLEASE!* Tiny pen work means large picture.

This pic was inspired by the song "Sleepwalker" by Marc Almond, sent to me by the lovely . While listening to it, Himes suddenly went "Ohhh!" and showed me bits and pieces of a jazz routine to it along with a crystal clear image of his costume. After showing the sketches to , she told me that Sleepwalker was his individual performance final his sophomore year at Tisch. And since I've already had two people think that the wristbands are the cuffs of a shirt, they're not. All he's wearing is the vest. The tie is directly around his neck and the wristbands are just there for sparkly stage decoration.

I decided to go a different route this time as far as executing the pic, using microns and stylized shading rather than plain pencil or coloring in Photoshop. I still might color the original sketch to experiment with the sparkles on certain parts of the costume... I dunno. And just for imagination's sake, the strip on the hat, the wristbands, tie, and a stripe going down the sides of the pants are all silver sequin.
