Rawkstah Erik - Colour

Same as the linart, but with the flats down. Taking a break from this piece while I work on linart for another, because the shading seems a bit daunting this late at night. Suggestions on other ways to define those strands in his hair (those ones in white) are welcome, aside from 'shade it'. >_>

Erik Kieder in his gig outfit, for the DT band "[Random Band Name]". It's an emo band by DT definition - the key thing is having a lot of emotion in your lyrics. He's the guitarist and occasionally does vocals. He looks way too young in this image - in the story he's between the ages of 16-23, not too sure what exactly.

He used to be Muvo - the lead singers - boyfriend, but then decided he wanted to try it with girls and they broke up, with no hard feelings between either. He got togethor with high school DJ Lenia, and taught her how to do guitar, which - coupled with her skills at digital editing - got her a place in the band. In truth, though, he wasn't much a boyfriend - Lenia wanted proof he loved her, but he refused to have sex before marriage, and she wasn't ready to commit that much but wanted proof he love her. They split when the band did, she went with the drummer instead of him, and he realised he felt more strongly for Muvo than he ever did her.
