black ink
horned demon
art nouveau 2.0 portrait
first artwork of 2019. the main reason it took me so long to do the lineart is because i was majorly afraid i’d ruin the fine geometrical details. the pencil sketch was done with french curve rulers and compass, but the inking is freehand.
reference pic was a shot posted by the divine kato (@katopunk, from SteamGirl.com) on instagram.

so i turned cosplayer/reenacter Armin Bastler (mimins_workshop on instagram) into a mightily pissed davy jones on the brink of losing his human guise.

ok, to be honest, i fucked up the mouth part during sketching and couldn’t get it right at all. so i decided to do a bold angular frame thingie. the defining part is the scar in any case.

his voice, his looks, his poetry, his music … i love everything about tom waits and i often paint with some rough, moody song in the background and a glass of bourbon next to me.
