Description "I'm Darby Crash, a social blast..."
Darby Crash of the Germs, looking especially retarded.
I saw the photo and at that second decided that I HAD to draw it. I believe that's the first time I've ever drawn a tongue. Weird. Anyways.
Some things I'm happy with, others not so much.

~Stuff~
+9b charcoal
+9x12 Bristol board
+I'd guess between 8 and 9 hours

(I'll think about this one being for sale if anyone is interested. Note or email me.)

Ah that's cool. I heard they're making/have made a Germs documentary thing with Shane West as Darby - have you heard anything about it?
Thank you so much for the comments - you're incredibly talented and I am quite flattered

that's exactly what i like about your style - i don't see a britney or a angelina or a george bush anywhere - you do pick good icons that the select few know and love - i just happen to not know this one lol

Lysistrata In reply to Vampires-are-Angels [2005-10-08 16:16:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks - they're my favourite part

Yep. Colored in all the background. Charcoal's good for that kind of thing (I highly recomend using it to fill in large dark areas, even if the rest of the piece is graphite, just be careful about the mess)

The shading is great and you really captured the crazy look on his face. All in all I'd say "not bad at all, ma'am."

Really not bad. Quite good.

Awesome work as always,and again I don't know this guy but I am sure it looks like him.Now I wonder,the right eye looks a bit larger than the left (from the viewer's perspective).Possibly just more open,either way it is great work you are doing.You really have that charcoal firing on all cylinders.

Lysistrata In reply to choffman36 [2005-10-07 21:16:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much
The eyes were... weird. [link] that's the original picture (though I upped the contrast on it to do the drawing), so it's not exact, but I had overworked the area a bit and decided to let it go since it didn't look horrible.

I tend to draw somewhat-obscure people
