Description

Now this is an interesting bit. Drew this all up to one song in the span of two days, in the timing of under three hours.

The scanning of this shiz doesn't do it justice, so I'm probably going to do a rescan of this and other awesome pieces when I get a better scanner (although the one I have now is pretty damn awesome on the face of it).

The posing and so on was done in the spirit of the Beatles's Abbey Road album cover, although, as you can see, it's not so neatly/geometrically done-up, nor can you really find any symbolism in this.

What I'd like you folks to do is guess which is what. Some will be easier than others, I'm sure...

I did this all with one mechanical pencil, a trusty Papermate with a 0.7 millimeter HB lead and a removable eraser. However, I didn't use that eraser- rather, I used a Pentel Clic Eraser (ZE22) and a Papermate Tuff Stuff eraser stick, both of these made in Japan(well, actually the grippers are; The eraser bits for the Papermate one, at least, are made in Taiwan). Both helped considerably with the cleaning-up of the linework, mainly slimming down some fat outlines, erasing sketch lines, and even removing some ill-advised shading. In reality, I had to change very little as I've drawn this, which I'm pretty thankful for. The guy second from the right changed a little towards the end (mainly his hair and his vest), the big guy's hat was a bit of a confuzzlement for a while, and the leader's suit had a bit of tweaking, but I'd have to say the guy on the end was changed the most, although in the early stages. At first, he was more of the biker motif (you can see that I left the bandana, seeing as it still works), but then I kinda changed to this Oriental roustabout. It worked relatively well, so I kept it. Most of the changes for him happened early on, so you won't see too much in the way of noticeable fuckups or anything.

Come to think of it, the only shit that bugs me about this currently are the end guy's hand holding the cig and the leader's forearms. Perhaps, the big guy's shins, but not really.

Fun Fact: I did all of the work on this to one song: "Y'All Want A Single" by Korn, better known as "Fuck That". The earlier half of it gave me the inspiration for this. The latter half... not so much. I'm not a big fan of Korn, but the song is awesome to do stuff to.
