Description A last minute birthday present for my best friend starring Campino, the singer of Die Toten Hosen. They are her favorite band and I really, really hope she's gonna like this! If you haven't heard of them: They are incredible! Go check them out!

I am actually quite happy about how fast I've been able to work! Only about 2,5 hours and I am happy with the result! Yay! I need to get this printed now!

Thank you! *___* It means a lot to me especially since it's quite an old painting. ^^

(warum habe ich eigentlich in englisch kommentiert? gewohnheit...) hättest du etwas dagegen, wenn ich mir das Bild ausdrucke und aufhänge oder so? ich finde das richtig, richtig, richtig schön und würde in meiner DTH-Ecke total toll aussehen…

ich wünschte, ich könnte auch so malen/zeichnen *seufz*

Ooooh! Ich hab total vergessen zu antworten!
Gegen Ausdrucken am Drucker zu Hause hab ich nichts, auch wenn die Qualität da sicher schon ein bisschen meeeh ist, bei größeren aber bitte direkt bei mir bestellen oder über meinen Society6-Shop: society6.com/apfelgriebs Und falls da irgendwas fehlt an Bildern, einfach kurz Bescheid geben, dann ergänze ich das. (:

Falls du den Campino reinstellen willst, dann ist das ein klarer Fall von shut up and take my money.

Wobei ich alles von dir toll finde ^^

I discovered this group only this year, and I like it a lot.  I watched the "Altes Fieber" music video and was floored by how good it was. I think you did a good job on this particular painting; it fits the music video and captures Campino's rugged looks.  Based on the thumbnail, I thought it was a chalk pastel drawing.
I'm surprised that this group isn't more popular. It has done a good job of writing and performing such a wide variety of music. I'll let others have Rammstein.

Uh! That's really great to hear! They are truly awesome and their live shows are beyond words: Incredibly emotional, fun, energetic and a breathtaking experience. In Germany, they are very, very popular and in South America, I think, even though I don't know why. xD Awww, it makes me happy to hear that you like them! And thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a comment!

I suppose we have so many bands here that vie for an audience that not many foreign groups can get a large following, particularly if they don't sing in English or use a lot of special effects.
I have seen a large fraction of the Heimspiel performance on YouTube, and I agree that the experience would be fun and breathtaking. I don't understand much German right now, and yet I'm still drawn into the performance. I would like to see them live, but the costs associated are prohibitively high at this point. My apologies for taking this long to respond.

CaptainSassafras [2013-05-24 05:18:09 +0000 UTC]

Ooh! I'm loving this one! I love the rough and ragged sort of look you put into this - which totally fits the band by the way. Once again, I love the colors you choose! The gold coloring and shading/highlights in the eye is lovely too. Awesome job apfelgriebs!

Thank you, dear! I'm really glad you like it! I had first considered to paint it more neatly but like you said, it wouldn't have fit that well. ^^

And how did you draw so fast..it takes me about 2.5 hours just to do lineart

Thaaaaank you so much, sweetie!
I... never do lineart, maybe that's why. I lay out some basic colors where I think they belong and start painting. When I do lineart first I feel too restricted. o.O

Lidius-Arcanriz In reply to apfelgriebs [2013-05-23 03:43:30 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome ;u;
Probably..
But my anatomy goes nuts when I don't lineart

I guess more practice is in due?

apfelgriebs In reply to Lidius-Arcanriz [2013-05-25 19:46:16 +0000 UTC]

There are quite a lot of people who do lineart first. I guess, you just have to figure out which suits you best. There is no wrong or right. To me it feels more natural to splash color all over the painting first and then go into detail. Otherwise I get bored. But practice is always a good thing!
