This is a cartoonised version of Buckethead, some insane guitarist i discovered recently....been listening to his legendary solo's for about two weeks, and since i had no better idea, i decided to work on this project.

It took me 5 days to complete mainly because i spent 4 days for the line art...i drew a couple of different poses...and they were all bad and worst till i came up with that one, wich seems decent enough
the hardest part was...ahem...the mask, and probably the guitar too..i wanted to draw it in some side angle with a bit of perspective, but i didnt got what i really wanted, but after 5 days i lost my patience and decided to go on with that, in the end the colors shown up really well...im particulary proud of the shades effects on his trenchcoat , i worked my ass so the coat dont look straight, but folding at thebody angles.

I used 2 layers of shades , one straight to reveal the forms and another in gradient to reveal the light
in the end i kinda like the result and i consider this piece as a tribute to my now, most favorite, musical artist

cant wait till he throw a concert in Montréal ....
