Description
Fouh.. This took quite some time, but I enjoyed doing it. It's Miyavi, a jrocker that I admire for making good music and for being a total spazz D:Please take a look at all the freaking details.. LIKE HIS TATTOOS. It took me one day to find/ask chinese friends for help/draw/erase/re-draw them.. T-T
I forgot to say.. The text on the wall is the heart sutra, which Miyavi has tattooed on his back. (All this research made me obsessed with his tatts x_x I even began tracing them on my friend's arms at school)
Last minute entry for 's contest.
supported me throughout the entire process of drawing him. T-T Arigatou, Gai-sensei!!

I wonder what'll happen on the day when he doesn't want those tattoos anymore
I really like the lighting in this ^^

lol he said each tattoo represented an important event or part in his life so chances are he'll never want to get rid of them. But who knows xD
Wow I'm such an expert now 
Anyway, thanks

Wow! I don't know if I'd go so far as to tattoo important events in my life, but it's cool anyway! I just hope he doesn't run out of space!!!

Explain too me..what is the heart sutra on his back mean? And why are there numbers on his hand? I have ALWAYS wanted to know this! And what does Un-Do mean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The heart sutra comes from Buddhism and it's a long complicated philosophical text @_@ You should be able to find a translation in english on the web easily. The numbers on his hand mean 'MYV' because those letters correspong to numbers when you dial a phone number for example. As for UN-DO.. Miyavi has not explained its meaning o.o No one really knows but him..
Hope that helps you!

Wow, this is really awesome. The pose is great, and his expression is awesome. Putting the Heart sutra in the background was a great idea. I've never seen any pictures of Miyavi, so I can't judge how good the likeness is, but your picture is very nice.
