Visual Shock

A portrait of hide, the late guitarist of X Japan. This painting kinda killed me but I'm glad to have finished it before exams and my final teaching practical next term. Originally I did this with a yellow-greenish tint similar to the originally reference, but I loved the contrasting blue and reds in the second reference so I changed it to that colour scheme.
