Artist's Comments

To make sure you know it: It's a painting and not a photo! :D
------------------

THANKS:
First of all: Thanks for all the new comments, favs and watches! crayonmaniac [link] is truly an angel! Thanks for the support! ;-)


PORTRAIT:
So, here we are:
This time it's not Alessandra Ambrosio or Doutzen Kroes. It's one of my favourite guitar players - Greg Howe. Because of his versatility I cannot say exactly which genre it is. It's instrumental rock, fusion and funk I think. It's a pity that he's not so well-known like Joe Satriani or Steve Vai.


PAINTING
Painting was done in 15 hours. As you can imagine the shirt and guitar (especially the Floyd Rose [thats the vibrato system at the end of the guitar] took a lot of time) but I'm very satisfied with the result.
All done in Photoshop. Used a reference image of Greg.

I hope you like it! ;-)

PS. this time you can download a huge version of the painting! ;-)


GREG HOWE MUSIC:
If you want to listen to him, click here:
- "The Terrace" [link] (Instrumental Rock Ballade in Jeff Beck style)
- "Sunny" [link] (you never heard such a jazzy / funky version of "Sunny"! ;-))

And Greg! If you read this: Please !PLEASE! come to Hannover, Germany! ;-)

Danke Jan, also die Hand kann man echt verbessern. Ich war heut nur zu faul dazu! :-) Was magst denn am Gesicht nicht?
:iconjoediebestie:
mag ich, meinte nur, daß man dort erkennt daß es ein gezeichnetes ist, sonst würde ich glatt sagen daß das ein foto ist, und nicht von dir! ;)

Wake me up in my dreams

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.

Thanks José! I'm also satisfied with the result. But the Floyd Rose was really a hell to paint! :D
