Description Lead Guitarist/Secondary singer for Cosmic, Cheen.

Cosmic is legendary, considered the greatest rock 'n roll band of all time throughout the galaxy. Their songs are catchy and inspiring, moving and intricate, and the band mates mastery of their instruments is unmatched.

Cheen has been playing guitar since he was 5 and hasn't put it down since. His style is fluid, organic and he can hammer out everything from simple chords and catchy riffs, to blisteringly complex and melodic solos. Also, his special Bio-Cyber augmentations allow him to produce a limitless amount of sounds and effects. As far as guitarists go, he has no equal.

As you can see, I tried something a bit different with the lineart and shading. I wanted to give Cheen a more "painted" feel. I think I achieved that. His color scheme is sunny and bright, with some tonal contrasts to help direct the eye to all his details. His overall feel, I believe, matches a rock star really well. Oh, I wasn't lazy on the fawn colored orbs by his ear/tail; they are made of a special, light dampening material that gives them a flat look under any light. Cheen had them made this way to give himself a "stand-out" appearance. The BG has a large, pseudo-3D "C", and some flavor text.

BTW, Cheen's guitar is his tail tip (the blue part). Folds up nice and neat. Nifty, huh?

Oooh... this is gorgeous. I'm loving the colours. The shading on his hair is excellent, and the shirt is really good too. Hah, the "rock on"... is that a sort of electronic billboard where the words go around in a circle? Y'know... I hope I'm explaining that correctly.

The details on the pants/jeans are really attractive; I especially like the little red-to-white chain. And is that music notes on his pants? That's really cool. It's quite an original idea, too. Nice job, overall. I wish I had some critiques for you, but I can't find anything bad about this picture.

No, it's not that . That's a cool idea though. Yes, that is notes on his pants. Thank you much.

… Sweet Jesus… I don’t know how you do it, but you do. Another fantastic and BEAUTIFUL work of art! One which I immediately fell in love with and must fav ASAP.
It is a bit off your normal coloring style, but that’s not to say it’s lacking style. In fact, I think it’s bursting with it. The little details really add up, and help to show that this character is fully formed and unique. The shirt and pants radiate cool, perhaps because they’re so well done and have a lot of thought put into them. All in all, I think you get my point, but just to clarify, I think this is absolutely fantastic!

Awesome job as always, but I did find something strange. Is that tail supposed to look like it went through the leg(s)?

Ha, a folding guitar. That's something new.

I like the sunny and bright colours you've used throughout the pic, including the background. It's somewhat different from your previous pics, but in a good way. The little things in this are very eyecatching too, liek the 'Rock On!' slogan going around his shirt, or the beads on the pocket of his pants.

I think one of your best pics yet Pure *+fav*

With the advent of bio-augmentations, one wonders if music is no longer played, but synthesized...

Very nice work.

Ever-Dream-Onward In reply to SonOfNothing [2006-01-26 15:36:05 +0000 UTC]

Well, you're actually right. My Zenith Point story is very futuristic, so it only make sense that music would be advanced as well. For example, Cheen's ear augmentations (the three diamond shaped objects near his ear housing) is a highly sophisticated amplifier which makes whatever he plays loud and rich. Bulky, old school amplifiers have been pretty much phased out.

I'd explain more, but then I'd be writing for a while ^_^.

Geez, talk about being linked with one's art--literally, in this case! Cheen's tail-tip guitar is an intriguing idea. At first the false 3D "C" was hard to see in the background, but after closer inspection, I picked it out; overall, this illustration is -very- impressive, x-PURE-x.^.^
