Here he is, the man who changed my view on moustaches forever... Freddie Mercury.

It actually wasn't supposed to turn out like this. I just wanted to do a quick little something to test out them charcoals and smudging stubs I got from the store, so I grabbed my DVD and started to sketch it out. I guess I started going too far with it to leave it as "quick," though. I was afraid of using the charcoals on this so I stuck with pencil. The smudging was fuuuun (especially when doing his hairiness), but frustrating. I thought about the background for days and days and days until I suddenly got the idea to use Freddie's arrow tanktop. It went well with the pose and energy, and I could've cried when I was finally able to go forward with the picture.

The pose was taken from the cover of Queen Rock Montreal, WHICH I SAW IN THE MOVIE THEATER LAST NIGHT. "One Night Only." It was such a pleasant surprise -- I found out the day of the showing and was actually able to go. It was in a city about ten minutes away from ours, hooray, so my mom, my sister, and I hopped in the car and drove to the closest thing we'd ever get to a real Queen concert. I even had semi-post-concert depression after getting home!
