Andy Biersack, (formerly Andy Sixx) of Black Veil Brides. I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan, but I saw them live a few weeks ago (Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows were supporting ) and it was a seriously great show and I appreciate them more now
The reference for this painting is from BVB's "Fallen Angels" video
Photoshop CS5 Wacom Tablet 6-8 hours?? It didn't feel like very long but when logically it must have been about that...
This was really fun to paint Deds to Linzi, my wee beffer, a loyal BVB fan She's a hell of a gal to have put up with a pain in the ass like myself for all these years
PS: Expect a Craig Owens painting in the not-too-distant future!
Tbh i've seen it as a variety of spellings, and i'm aware purple isn't a real eye colour, nor is it his - the colour i've used is actually a highly saturated blue lol - it was to make the appearance more striking as the image is largely monochromatic. I've used his natural eye colour in my other painting of him though!
