Artist's Comments

This is :iconcentaura-eblan:'s character 'Damon Winehouse'

I cried while working on this commission! This is the first time I have ever cried while drawing. I was listening to some tunes I used to breakdance to while drawing and all of my memories of breaking with my friends from high school till pre graduation of college came to mind. I got ultra combo-ed by nostalgia. Ive been living in Japan for 2 years, so Im quite homesick. I havent been b-boyin these days either.

Tryin to find a good pose thru the sketches was hella fun. Breakdancing is already dynamic so I wanted to go ultra. Hes doing a 90 > pose to air flare combo but I tried to capture him during the 90 > pose before the air flare. I was never able to get air flares...

Thanks again for letting me work on this awesome character!

I love the breakdancing thumbnails, they look like they would be a lot of fun to rough-animate ^_^.

I don't think I expressed enough how much I love this. It's seriously perfect. Thank you for what you've done with him, I couldn't have asked for a better piece!

Nice! I also used to breakdance in High school and a little bit in college. I would practice every so often and was getting better but at the same time it's like, is it really worth all the injuries and time to practice? It's not like i could get a gig breakin unless I was pro.

So I just slowly gave it up and devoted my time more to my art. Now I'm battling with those thoughts about skating after busting my chin open.

I still miss doing it cause it's really fun and challenging because it takes a lot of practice.

Incredible perspective and proportions, I love how you really try to make every one of this sketches so dynamic.

I think it says a lot about you as a person, and as an artist, that you got that carried away while drawing this. I think it's a good think you're so attached to your art. :)

this is really awsome! it's hard to get all the moves when you're breakdancing so, keep the good work up and find the good mood again :)

aww homesickness sucks. heh but if you were here it'd be the other way around, I think.
dude you've always been great with poses but the fact that you bust out all these crazy unique positions foe most of you commisions has been inspiring.
