Elize Ryd's Birthday Gift

I originally got this idea from when Elize was talking about Venice, Italy and Fabio Lione of Rhapsody of Fire.

The fellow with the censor bar over his eyes is Elize's boyfriend--who is kept out of the limelight, so I figured a censor bar was the best way to keep his identity a secret.

Well...I thought it was pretty funny... :/

Silverthorn in My Side: Sketches of Kamelot

Thomas: "Did...you want me to sign this? Oh, I can keep this? Thanks, man!"

Tommy: "Whoa. Cool. Thanks, man!"

Alissa: "Are you a Character Designer? One of my friends does that."

Sean: *laughs "Thank you!"

Coen: "Hey! My first gift! Thanks! You got the hair right!"

Casey: "? Oh, thanks a lot!"

Here's a little project I did for the band, Kamelot for their show on September 21, 2013 in Anaheim.

Since I saw them open for Nightwish, I have been drawing and giving bands character designs or drawings of them as a gift. Mostly, I get a "oh, this is cool" and a "thank you," and that's it--which is totally worth it for me!
But this time, I gave them these pictures--and the next day, two of them showed up on the bands Facebook page!--which can be seen here:

I was very very flattered.

Kamelot, if you see this, thank you again for accepting my work so graciously, and as always, putting on an awesome show!
