Inspired by @Animedragon 's photos of the Glastonbury Abbey. I drew a mash-up of a traditionally inked background, with digital drawings of Mana Sama from the band Malice Mizer over the top. Mana-Sama was the bassist for the Tanbei Visual Kei band, meaning their visuals were highly inspired by European Culture. This is my favorite song of them, Ma Cherie.
Mana Sama's a mysterious man known for never speaking to the public, and being a gothic lolita.
I decided to combine these two. During school, I would draw on my computer, pulling references from a photobook of Moi Dix Mois, the band Mana Sama joined after Malice Mizer's end. While working, my computers fan started malfunctioning, so I had to wait to sort of fix it, during that time I sketched and inked the background of @Animedragon's Image. I did take creative liberty, and just added details I thought would look nice. Since I did want it to fill the background.
The final image took like months but I'm really proud of it. I think it looks cool. Just now I'm seeing some spots I didn't fill in. oh well.
