Description I didn´t know in which category this would fit best, but I think this isn´t that important anyway.

This one is the mascott of the great (Reggae/Funk/)Folk Rock band LACK OF LIMITS (www.lackoflimits.de ) from Germany, originally drawn by their former guitarplayer in a different pose. It´s called "Grobling" or "Narrenkobold" ("jester-goblin" )
They wanted it to be in a more dynamic pose and with more details than in the past.
It´s mixed media: watercolour, acrylics and coloured pencils. Strings of the instruments and the silhouette on the patch (it´s from the 2nd CD cover of the band) were added in Photoshop. I´ve also changed the background and some other details like the mouth in Photoshop, but I think this can still be called a traditional painting.
Original size: ca. 25 x 42 cm (which was far to small - it was a challenge to do those details partly with brushes)

Hope you like it!

I know this is for a completely different band, but the moment I saw this I thought of Jethro Tull's Lead singer Ian Anderson.

Hehe, yes. As the band and I started to develop the pose, they wanted something similar to Ian Anderson`s typical play-flute-on-one-leg-pose

Thanks a lot!
I was a bit disappointed, that so few people have commented it yet, although it was one of my most difficult pieces so far. I put so much effort into it...

I really like the details of his tattered clothes, and how the sole of his shoe is coming undone.

Very cool stuff. I'm sure the band is proud of it!

The expression is priceless and the added touch of his silhouette on the leg patch cracks me up
