Description ...he did his time in Vietnam
still mad at Uncle Sam
he's a simple man
with a heart of gold
in a complicated land
ooooOOOOh he's a working class man.

Was at work last night when Triple M played a bit of Barnsey, and for some reason Sousuke came to mind. Full lyrics can be found here: [link]


Ugh, been in something of an art slump of late. Hoped a bit of simple fanart might be the thing to break it, but apparently not; I still can't get down on paper what I want to. Skipped the background in the interest of saving time.

Still: there's nothing like a bit of Barnsey to help you through the work day

I just wish I'd had enough time/inclination to do a better shading job of the background as well :Roll:

Thanks. Actually the shading was an attempt to cut down working time... but I'd forgotten how hard it was to get that sort of thing to sit right

Nice piece there mate! Are you going to colour it in? It's still very good nonetheless.

Hmm, probably not. I've got other stuff I'd like to do first. Cheers mate.

teehee, looks like Sousuke put on a little weight. Chidori been feeding him big meals every night? You do realize that's more background than I EVER do, right?

Well she should be.. I mean come on, the bloke's almost as skinny as I am, and that's saying something

lol, true. But he looks so rugged all tall and thin. Pudging him out would lower his sexiness factor.

Nice one, mate. The border trim really stands out to me in this. Adds character to the perspective.

Heh, and ol' Barnsey rocks. Went to a concert of his in Rocky sometime back. Never would I ever get seats at the front again. Especially when they right in front of the loud speakers. XD Not to mention, the middle of the mosh pit as well.

Mate, it took me about three goes to get that right, first to position it, then to work out how I wanted to close it off... so simple, but not late at night

But, the whole reason for going to rock concerts is to get so close the only way you're aware of the music is 'cause you can feel it going right through you. Ears are just unnecessary paraphernalia at concerts

Which is why I'm glad I was semi-deaf with a wax build up back then. Still could feel every beat though, so that's all that matters. Much more vibrations from that than say a Queen tribute concert. ... but I wasn't at the front row for that.

Very nice renditions of the characters.

I also admire the perspective of the buildings and helicopter.

Dojang [2007-08-21 12:05:09 +0000 UTC]

that should read;

oooOOOOOooooh, he's a working class man...

otherwise it reads like a quick 'oh!' sound...

frame tilt is snazzy...i allways liked the way you did that.

wraith11 In reply to Dojang [2007-08-21 12:10:02 +0000 UTC]

Fixed... actually it's a slightly shorter oooOOOh in that verse than some of the other oooooOOOOoooohs used. I guess technically those longer ones should be differenciated with a "whooooah" type sound instead... See what happens when you copy and paste out of third rate websites

Cheers mate.

Well, thsi captures his emotion nicely! I like the face and his personal bag slung over his shoulder! I also like his offcial uniform! The apache helicoptor is just so nice looking!

Thanks mate.
Is it hard to get a decent reference of that uniform or what? Took me ages to find one.

victortky In reply to wraith11 [2007-08-21 12:12:34 +0000 UTC]

quite hard indeed. I like the design of his face...seems to match one of my self created characters.
