This is a drawing of Arjen Lucassen's minstrel Ayreon in a happier moment...whether it's a great concert he's listening to, or the feeling of the sun's warmth on his skin or the wind and rain, or if it's a dream of happier possibilities for humankind, this blind musician has no fears of what people might say when they see his joy.
I really wanted to show Arjen's character in happier times, and I feel like I've accomplished it.
Major Ayreon fans may make the connection I'm trying to suggest here...think of the song "Starchild", the tune of a certain song on
The Final Experiment, and what we know about the "new migrator"...
P.S...yes, I know the pants look bad. Oh well, I like the rest of it way too much.

Ooooh, very cool effect with the blue-on-black. This was done on black paper? Considering your subject, I think it was a very appropriate choice.

And his face is so sweet. X)
