Will update with a better photo eventually - so excuse the shine off of the paint. Will get a daylight photo soooon
This is Matt Bellamy (aka Tiny Man) of Muse, at the opening of some concert in Las Vegas. Or at least that's the reference I used for it. There are differences however, just not many. Reference is here - [link]
I went to see Muse a few weeks ago with someone quite lufly. The concert was amazing, and I missed art, and felt like doing something creative with the experience. They opened the concert with Take a Bow, and in this amazing moment when the singing stopped and the music took off, Matt stepped up, kissed his fist and thrust it in the air. Everyone went wild, it was amazing. And that was the entire basis for this painting. You can see a not great quality vid of the opening here - [link]
Acryllic on card - roughly A2 size. Maybe, 20 hours? On the painting, the sketch took about 2/3 I should imagine.
I gave it away the same day I finished it, now hung proudly on the lufly person's wall.

Oh man this is absolutely awesome! I love the whole silhouette thing you got going on there, looks so simple but so detailed.
And Muse ROCK!

You take a bow.
Thankyou! I had to work longer on the background than I did Matt, and I was just the whole time desperate to get onto that. Loved doing his hair. Definitely need a less shiny photo of it...
Thanks again for the comment
And yes, yes they do. We have tickets to see them at Wembley Stadium in June. June is far too far away.

You've done a magnificent job captureing the mood of the moment. The colors from the reference image were also chosen quite well. I would have lengthened his body more like it was in the original image, but that is all. Great lighting and excellent emotion. I'm sure the "lufly" person adores it.
