Experimenting with that very particular style of album art I see in some 90s-00s stuff (namely Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson, Adrenaline by Deftones, and Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence by Glassjaw)

Really been having fun drawing facial features lately. And hair. And just headshots in general
#ocsky #art #oc #originalcharacter
Traditionally drawn headshot of a man with messy hair, facial piercings, tattoos on his neck and forehead, and a smug expression on his face. Traditionally drawn headshot of a man with short cut hair, dark veins on his face, a cross scar on his forehead, and a halo of thorns. Traditionally drawn headshot of a boy with curly hair, freckles, a burn scar on his face and neck, and a rather scornful facial expression. Traditionally drawn headshot of a boy with flat hair swept to the side and small scars on his face.

Haven't had the energy to post on here lately but I'm real proud of this so I'm gonna post it. Was an Artfight attack for @cowboyology.bsky.social and genuinely one of my favorite pieces I've ever drawn
