Artist's Comments

David Bowie, from his hours... period, with Nashi pears. Because they so delish.

I think what throws this off the most is that his hair is too brown. I tried to grey it up, over and over again, and it just looks too vivid. He's not known for dark hair, so it's not so recognizable. And there should have been a lot more shoulder going on.

For only my second attempt at using my beautiful Letraset Tria markers, I think I scored. :)

This is my favorite phase of Bowie. Married to Iman, being a dad, working the shag cut and the pullovers, sporting beautiful crow's feet... Yes, indeed.

I listened mostly to Zap Mama's Ancestry In Progress.

Very beautiful colouring.

Beautiful work, as always. I agree with you about the dark hair, it just doesn't seem to it him. I like the emotion of the pic, keep them coming!

:D
:iconiria-l-unpardonable:
and the genius strikes again!!!

certainly that's ione of the most charming pics I've seen of a more mature Bowie, getting better with age :heart:
a tad too dark skined (let's forget of 80's tanned Bo) or maybe it is mah screen.
I :worship: you and your markers now. and the comment :faints:

Reality Bowie next plz?

what about the GK? :lol:

You know what, I totally hear you on the skin tone. I have five friggin' sets of these markers, and still there's only one or two possibly skin tones, and this was the best of them. It's like when you're little and you have only an orange crayon to color faces with. What the hell, right?

I have almost no photo refs for his Reality phase, so if you'd like to ply me with some, I'd be delighted to give it my best shot. :) And Jareth is still being a bastard. I can't get him!

Gah, thats all kinds of love. seriously!!!
Those markers, maaan they're just all kinds of hot. I kinda like how rich the colours are, kinda reminds me of when he had bright red hair, but more mature.

This is really good. I'm a huge fan of Bowie, and I think you captured him well. I like how you remembered to make his left pupil bigger than the other, but I think you should have added just a tiny bit of green into it, because that's how it looks.

I like his hair. You did a great job!

My father always said good things happen to good people. Now I know he was wrong.
:iconhybriddemon22:
I'd imagine that you really enjoy using him as a subject? ;p Not that I can blame you...

Yipe! Bowie! Tria markers! PEARS!

This is oodles of fantastic. Thanks for making my day better.
