Artist's Comments

Here, FINALLY, is :iconkaidenmoon:'s requested picture of Interpol member Dan Kessler as an Amish guy. Apparently the band members were once asked (while on an airplane :O_o:) if they were Amish - consequently, Dan is sometimes jokingly referred to as "Amish Dan" (hence the point! :nod:).

For those who may or may not know much about the Amish, you should note that Dan would not have a mustache if he were actually Amish - I left it on, though, since he does have one in real life! ;P Kaiden wanted a "typically Amish" background, rather than just an old-fashioned one - harder to come up with than you might think! ^^; After multiple tries, I finally decided on a barn-raising picture, as one of the things which the Amish community is known for is the fact that when a neighbor needs a new barn, the entire community will get together and (after weeks of preparation) build one in a single day. :)

Just for the record, I'm pretty sure that Daniel Kessler belongs to himself! :nod:

(Oh, and as per usual, humble apologies for the quality of the scan - actually, my scanner is apparently on its way out - I had to scan this twice and piece it together in Photoshop to get the whole pic in. ^^; *sigh*)

Why writting in a DeathNote is like masturbation:-1: Both are things you do alone when no ones around 2:your scared of getting caught 3:They provide excitement while you do it 4:when your done you feel satisfied......for a time

This is very cool you did an awesome job man I love this!!!:love:
I thought you were in a coma or something?XDD^^;
Very cool and i love his expression:hug:
:icontsukikothewolf:
Very creative background :D It's better than some typical amish scene with a field and dirt road and some random horse in that background :XD: You get what I'm saying........Right?

Well, old-fashioned-looking clothing and hats, hand tools, and large timbers - that sounds like mid-19th century house-building to me! Let me know if you ever remember the title - I'm a bit of a history geek and I've watched a lot of movies about the American Civil War, but that opening doesn't sound familiar. ^^

And thank you for the comment! ^^

Anyhoo, thank you so much; I'm really glad you like it (especially his expression, 'cause I worked hard on his face! :nod:)! :glomp: :D

Heh, oh yes, I know just what you mean - don't think that I didn't try that background - also the plowing with a horse-drawn plow pic; the harvesting with a horse-drawn wagon pic; the unhitching the horse from an Amish buggy in someone's yard pic; the standing in front of a clothesline filled with Amish clothing pic; etc., etc. ^^;

Yah, I think I definitely chose the right background/activity - lol! :D

And thank you so much! :aww:
