The last of the drawings I drew backstage during the last show I was in. Drew these listening to songs that more-or-less represent some of my characters.

Ajzul: Lady Madonna by the Beatles (using the song as a vague metaphor for her responsibilities to her country and its treasury)
Pele: Standing in Motion by Yanni and his long swooshy hair (but skip the first 2 minutes, cuz that’s a different song and I don’t like it)
Lucency: Scarborough Fair/Canticle by Simon and Garfunkle
Cosmos: the piercing screeches of fangirls…and Viva la Vida by Coldplay
Emperor Cory: Nowhere Man by the Beatles
Gloxinia: Immortality by Celine Dion

Characters are property of me and my wrathful dominance of terror. :)

i'm new here so i don't know much about your characters, but did you by any chance draw inspiration for Pele from the hawaiian goddess of fire (whose name also happens to be Pele)? i only ask because your drawing is exactly how i'd imagine the hawaiian goddess looking :) and your artwork is simply amazing!

Yes, that is indeed where I got the idea from. I Europeanized her a bit, but kept the Hawaiian name. :)

They are very good fictional men to fall in love with. I'll admit I have a soft spot for them as well. :blush:

After looking at your work for a while I've developed a crush on Emperor Cory.... but Lars is really cute too.

Okay, why is Aequinoct not one of these pictures?! WHY? YOU NEED TO BE IN ANOTHER PLAY SO YOU CAN DRAW HIM ONE SHEESH.

I have only met two of these six. :no:

BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN OFFICIAL THEME SONG FROM MY IPOD FOR AEQUINOCT THAT'S WHY! It's gonna be a while before I can be in another play. If Oakley was closer I'd totally do their Fall production, but they're not. And the place that IS close spreads thier shows over the Fall and Winter semester, so I can't be in it. What a stupid time to have rehearsals, with Christmas right in the middle of it. POOR PLANNING THAT IS!

Is it sad that part of why I've chopped all my hair off is because I know I won't be able to be in any plays until after 2013? And by then my hair should be longish again. I figured I might as well have fun with short hair while I'm in school, because women are less likely to be cast as a lead with short hair, which is part of why I've keep it long for so long.

Half of these guys are blonde-types. It's gonna be a while before you meet the blonde-types.
