Well, it's not completely done, but it's at the point where I was ready to show. Since this is a mixed media project, I'd like to add something a little more 3-D, but obviously you can't scan something 3-D. This is the main part of the project. This is the girth. There may just be some extras added later.


This. This is clearly a piece meant to be viewed in person. Collages were not meant to be looked at from across the net. But, considering the net is one of my bigger audiences, I did the best I could to show you this piece of mine.


THIS IS NOT AS EASY AS YOU MAY THINK. o_o In fact, it was quite difficult. They do not make the perfect J-rocker skin colour in magazines. Yes, 'tis Hyde, and if I did this right, you knew that before I told you. I've never done this before, but I thought that it would be a cool twist on a J-rock portrait to add to my collection. Or at least a nice tribute to Hyde. Beside those three new fans I got him the day.


By the way, those words you see in the background are all lyrics from L'Arc En Ciel songs. Some are in original kanji, some are in romanized Japanese, and some are English translations.


It's nice to have something a little different every so often, isn't it?



The original of this piece has been sold, but prints are still available. Note me if interested!
