Artist's Comments

BIG FILE!!!

*whew* It's finally done. I had a lot of fun doing this. <3

So, because David Bowie is my artistic inspiration atm, every time I listen to one of his songs I get these images in my head. "Starman" is one of my favorite songs of his, and a month or so this image popped into my head as I was listening to it on repeat (haha, yea).
The idea was of Ziggy Stardust (one of Bowie's earliest most famous personas) sitting on.. some planet (I went with the moon in the end -- and yes, the moon in this is small, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Ziggy's abnormally large in the picture), and he's smoking.. but his smoke creates the milky way in thew universe and around our planet Earth.

**This is not in any way applauding smoking. It's for artistic use only. In pictures and art, I find the use of cigarettes and smoke to be very pretty (or sexy, depending on how used), but I can't stand the smell in real life.**

Artist Note: In case you don't get it.. I'm using perspective for the Earth and the moon. Ziggy (Bowie) is NOT 5 times the size of earth.. lmao. The Earth is it's normal distance away from the moon, therefore, it is the same size as always, and I'm guessing that Ziggy would just me the size of a normal human.

I put a lot of love and care into this, and I'm really proud of it, so don't be too hard on me x] I really love how Bowie came out.. like, I think I FINALLY got his face pretty much correct.
HELL.. I EVEN PUT HIS MOLES IN (see neck). Yesss, I find those moles to be very sexy, therefore, they had to be included, LAWL.
His bundle (the Area) gave me difficulty, though.. hahaha! It ended up being too small (yea, I'm kind of modest, actually), but I knew it wasn't that small, so I tried to make it bigger w/o making it look like I spent so much time trying to make it big... HAHAH! The thing is, I might print this out and actually send it to the man (David Bowie) himself.. and I don't want to offend him or embarass him, although I'm sure he wouldn't care.. lmao! MY EXCUSE: In "Ziggy Stardust", Bowie clearly states that Ziggy's "well hung" ;] Soooo...

If you want to know what outfit I used for ref: [link]
Yes, I DID try to do the pattern on the top, but then I said, "SCREW IT" because it was going to come out horrible and I was NOT ruining this picture.

Yea the moon SUCKS, but the Earth came out a lot better than I expected.. as did the "milky way" ;D

SO, UHM, YEA.. COMMENTS? <3
Think I should send this to him? I still have the 12.5"x12" picture saved, and I'm thinking about sending it along with the Bowie book I'm making.......
Y/N? LOL.

Well I have to confess that I didn't really know who David Bowie was until i googled for him just now. But your drawing is pretty cool, I liked the effect of the smoke and the little stars, it does look nice :D And i like how you drew his side profile, that's one smexy big nose :giggle:

Tsk tsk. Well I'm glad you googled him. I'm sure you've heard some of his more famous songs, but you didn't know his name. I've been listening to his music all my life, but then again, I also feel like I was born into this world just automatically knowing who Bowie was ;D Lmao! He looks different now, of course... Ziggy Stardust was his persona back in '72 and '73 x] Bowie's prettymuch the founder of glam rock.. that's how amazing he is <3
And, lol, his nose isn't really really big.. like Adrien Brody's, or Monty's (I guess). It's more like.. skinny and long and beak like, i guess is the best way to describe his nose. But I think it gives him character.. and I love how it scrunches up whenever he smiles and laughs <3 CUTE.

Thanks for the comment <3

:iconlillyon:
THANKYOU SO MUCH <3
Well you have to remember.. I've also been using a tablet and stuff since like.. December 2004 (when i got a tablet). So, yea, 3+ years. This is also probably the most complicated thing I've done so far.. because I NEVER do backgrounds haha. So, I actually TRIED this time, because I really wanted this to look good if I'm to send it to him.
