Here's a portrait of Varg Vikernes (AKA Count Grishnackh) of the band Burzum. I drew this on an A3 sheet of paper so unfortunately I couldn't scan the whole thing :( Took 4 freakin hours to draw, I'm so damned slow at arty shit.

it looks nice, the shadings a bit of but that probably because the facial highlights werent defined well on the picture (you drew it from one right?) but overall it looks good
:iconescaped:
As long as the result is satisfying how many hours it took is not a problem like they say "good thing takes a long time to produce" :) don't rush this is a job well done the shading the drawing and expression is just nice, if I could draw just like you.. Whoah I would be over the moon!!

Cheers fellas. Yep, I drew it from a photo. That's exactly right escaped, gotta love that feeling of satisfaction. And thanks a lot for the compliment mate, I really appreciate it :D

I'm not that fond with "Greven", as we call him.
His lifemeaning and how he stepped out the local newspaper - and got this Satanismhunt on charge. (Made me interpret him as one real madman.)
But still, this is one of the men who really started the romours and all to the newspapers/television/radio around - spreading fast to all of europe in the 1990's. This man and all the other links of black metal. Reborned Black Metal in Norway. ;)

Great painting :clap:

Thanks man! I'm not too keen on Varg and his rather out there views either, I just respect the man as a musician :D I read the Lords of Chaos book recently, it's a damned interesting read, Varg really knew how to work the media.

Ahhh, ok. It's basically about the Norwegian Black Metal scene when all of the murders and church burnings took place. It's a damned good read, very informative :D
Check it out :D
