☯ Josh © me.


All right, I'll admit it, this is pure fanservice (inspired by a picture of Ichigo wearing big headphones that I got from somewhere), and I'm sorry

Josh, like me, is a musicaholic. And he'll tell you that you can't truly appreciate music unless you're hearing it with big noise reduction headphones (Anyone recognises them? You get a cookie if you do ) So anyway, Josh demanded to be drawn like this and wouldn't let go until I did... Don't ask me why he's shirtless; I don't know. I'm ashamed, there really is no excuse for this one. The shading could have been a lot more elaborate but this time I wanted to do keep it simple, light and clean (and prove that I can not use textures!!)

Title from the awesome John Miles song "Music", which you can listen to live here: [link] (YouTube)

That's not a poem, that's lyrics from the song that inspired the picture

Wow, you have a lot of comments on this one... But that's not why I'mcommenting, I have an idea(without reading through the comments) on why he is shirtless. I've experienced once or twice beginning to sweat just sitting listening to music. As your character is a musicoholic, maybe hes gotten the habit doing it without shirt for practical reasons?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mangsney In reply to Tedd92 [2010-02-18 19:30:34 +0000 UTC]

That's... an interesting suggestion. The real reason he's shirtless is because I suck at drawing clothes and rarely enjoy it but I guess I wanted to focus on... the purity of his love for music...? (if that makes any sense) But I can definitely imagine him chilling out on his band with his T-shirt off and big headphones on (providing it's not the middle of winter )

Michael is very different from Josh. He's more the cute, awkward type, as seen here [link] (please don't look at the neck too closely; it's way too thick but I'm leaving it as it is to remember my mistake)

I really really need to draw them together again. Work prevented me from doing the Valentine's Day pic I wanted but I still have the sketch.

love the first link.
you call the second one fan service but i don't see how...and i see myself in Michael in the second link. not how he looks but his personality.
he seems the be the cute awkward type in the first more than the second.

yes you do...are they characters or people? care to give me the complete story /b/ t/ 2?

Mangsney In reply to Rhys-the-Redeemed [2009-02-19 10:03:00 +0000 UTC]

I thought you might like it

Josh and Michael are original characters of mine. It's been nearly 2 years since I first thought Josh up. To start with I only had an idea for a scene between them and nothing else. I had no idea what to do with these boys so I tried drawing them, and as backstories developed I realised I'd have to write about them. And so I am, slowly. The chapters aren't on dA but do you happen to have a LiveJournal account?

Awww. Well don't do it for me. I'm thinking of maybe hosting the story somewhere else, like Fiction Press, so that even people who don't have accounts on the "locked" sites I use can have access to it.

I could... e-mail you the prologue and first chapter, if you're interested...
