It makes me happy to see such a young HAKUEI, I'm not sure why.

Uh, it's going... okay. I guess. I'm drawing Kiba. Here is the WIP .
It's not too late for me to switch to Riku if you don't like it so far. I know it doesn't look like I'm very far in, but I should be able to finish within the next day or two depending on how busy I am. Oh, but do you want it inked and colored like this one ? It might take a little longer, but I don't mind if you don't.

OMG.
I LOVE IT.
It looks like a serious Kiba (believe me, he's not that serious), but I love it so with that unclean pencil look. I love unikned drawings, but do as you wish. If you think it will look better coloured, do it!

Hooray! I'm glad you like it.
I forgot how much I love drawing j-rockers~~
He looked pretty serious in all the pictures I found of him. I'm going to try to find some of their music to listen to while I finish. Is it hard to find?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AyamaSullivan In reply to Dante-alu [2011-07-30 22:52:36 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but if you get to see their Twitter, you'll see that they all act like kids and Kiba seems to be much nicer than what he looks in photo sessions. However I do find hard o get pictures of them.
Is not that hard... If you have problems I can direct you.
Also, here are some songs:
[link] ~ Destroy
[link] ~ Halleluyah
[link] ~ Enigma
[link] ~ γ‚Έγ‚§γƒƒγƒˆγ‚Ώγ‚€γ‚¬γƒΌ
[link] ~ BALA θ–”θ–‡VARA
[link] ~Dogma
[link] ~ Cogito Ergo Sum
[link] ~ Purple Heaven
[link] ~ ε½±ηŽ‹

And here are the band acting normally:
[link]

Aren't they just adorable? :3

And I have no idea what is Frypan doing in the middle of γ‚Έγ‚§γƒƒγƒˆγ‚Ώγ‚€γ‚¬γƒΌ PV.
The BALA θ–”θ–‡VARA version I linked you to is an older version, that's why Kiba's voice sounds much younger and kinda different.
Dogma and a few other Gargoyle songs were released under the name of Super Battle Gargoyle which is a faster, harder version of the original band. They also dress in leather while in Super Battle Gargoyle.


Hope you enjoy the songs!

Oh, the only pictures I used were from their website and from last.fm. I didn't really look very hard, though.

As for the songs: Thank you! I didn't expect you to do that. ^^ Kiba's voice really surprised me, but I like the last two songs quite a bit. Recently I've been listening to Baiser constantly, so the contrast is pretty big. Haha. (You should listen to them, too, if you haven't. ;>)

They are adorable for a group of old men. XD I really love seeing the dynamics between band members, especially when they get along that well.

AyamaSullivan In reply to Dante-alu [2011-07-31 11:21:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, I do have some problem. JRock Scans has some, but I need pictures of his red kimono (probably for a cosplay. A friend of mine wants me to cosplay Kiba next year so she can be my gheisha).

I usually do that. There is no surprise about me doing this. My favourite song is the G-Manual version of BALA θ–”θ–‡VARA and their ballads like Kaze no Shiro, Last Heaven or Yagate Hikaru.
I've heard of that band... Are they good?

I know right? They're all on their mid 40s (expect for the blonde one, their guitarist, I think he's younger than that), but since they studyed music on their youth, they're doing all the things he couldn't do when they were young now. You know that Kiba directs all the PVs of the band? Yeah, he wanted to be a movie director.

Dante-alu In reply to AyamaSullivan [2011-07-31 19:27:48 +0000 UTC]

Oh~ Fun. I hope you find what you need!

Yeah, his voice sounds really nice in ballads.
Oh of course, Baiser is great! Many of their fans say they are the "definition of visual kei." They're old school and no longer together, though. I initially took interest because of their connections with PENICILLIN, which are many. For instance, Hakuei refers to the singer, Yukari, as his little brother! <3

Ah, since you did it for me, here are some songs. Listen at your leisure.
Doku (PV)
Pandora no Hako (Live)
Apokalypse (Live)
You (PV)
The End of Eternity...
Damage (Live)
Kimi no Inai Sekai
Prism (PV)

They actually have quite a bit of darker music like "Damage," but it's not on Youtube.

He directs them? That's pretty awesome. He does a good job! I think Full from Guniw Tools directed some of his band's PVs; he also directed a few for Buck-Tick, but not some of their better ones.

Yeah! If I don't I'm going for Itoshi Hito Miyavi. I have the perfect hair.

I know :3

Oh, now I know where KISAKI got his outfits from XD
I like old school Visual Kei because they were more carefree about the visuals and still focused a lot on the music itself, which newer bands don't seem to do...
I really like his voice too, reminds me of HAKUEI's (and I love HAKUEI's voice), I'm going to try to download their songs, they seem like a very lovely band <3
Thanks.

Yeah, he does. He knows what he wants, that's pretty good in a band... Really? Gunwin Tools is another of those bands I sadly never tried.

Dante-alu In reply to AyamaSullivan [2011-08-02 23:29:06 +0000 UTC]

Speaking of Kisaki, they even have a song titled Phantasmagoria. XD I'm sure it's just a coincidence, haha~
I like old school because most of them aren't drawing on someone else's sound. A lot of newer bands are just copying old school bands. :\
Really? His voice reminds me, in the slower songs, of Dada from Velvet Eden. But you're probably right, I'm sure Yukari was influenced by Hakuei since Hakuei was Baiser's producer for a while. He was supporting Shaisuke, the bass player, who was a Penicillin member at one point. Lol, like I said, these two bands are connected in countless ways.

I only like a couple Guniw Tools songs, so I can't wholeheartedly recommend them. They're a strange bunch.

AyamaSullivan In reply to Dante-alu [2011-08-03 19:58:42 +0000 UTC]

Really? Lol
Though I think KISAKI has an obsession with ghosts and the past, thus the name Phantasmagoria. He likes DELUHI and D'ERANGER, though.
Yeah... Mago were pretty unique for their time, but now a lot of bands seem of want to have that kind of magic. Same with bands from the first and second generation of VK.
I'm kinda scared of Dada to be honest. Velvet Eden is a nice band, though.
Lol, a lot in fact!

I see. Really? lol

Dante-alu In reply to AyamaSullivan [2011-08-04 01:52:15 +0000 UTC]

I don't know a lot about Kisaki D: Although I've always thought he was cool. I used to put a lot more research into bands I like, now I only do it for a select few.
Oh, I feel the opposite way. I don't really like most of Velvet Eden's music, but I looove Dada's creepiness.
Yes, a lot. I could go on, but I'll let you discover for yourself. ;>

I know a lot because I like to observe him. I find a good subject of study when it comes to personality and how teh society you in affects you. His awarkness in talking and acting is, probably, a product of his personality type and the society he lives in.
It's only nice, it's not really my type. I perfer Hora. Hora is awesome.
Oh well, thank you. :3
