I love your Manic Street Preachers reference with your bio thingy. What are your favourite MSP songs?
Oh, man. That's so hard to tell. Everything from their first three albums is just pure poetry in the form of music.
'Motorcycle Emptiness' must be the winner.
Not only for how perfectly nostalgic the guitar sounds but also because I've made some of the best memories on that song (late summer nights out with mates, bright city lights and car rides).
Hey<3 First of all, I want to say that your art is so beautiful and great. You are so important to this community and your output makes anyone blush. I do have to say, that I think that Jan's skin tone in your art is rather light compared to irl. It's totally okay if you don't want to change it or anything, you pay it more attention than basically any other artist and I love to see it.
Please never stop drawing, especially the Jabbath stuff<3
Hey there!
Thank you a lot for your sweet words, it's always lovely when someone pops in my inbox with good intentions and constructive criticism.🖤
I like Jan's appearance and unique features and I try my best to draw his as accurate as possible. That means including his darker skin tone.
There's a little comparison between them, but I totally understand if it's not exactly tan enough 😭. I don't want to downplay his half Moroccan ethnicity by any means and I hope that people didn't find my slight error offensive.
I'll definitely work on a better/ more accurate representation from now on. Thank you a lot for your kind suggestion and for liking my art!
Cheers to Jabbath 🍻
