Set the World on Fire

1 December 2011

“Fight for all you know
when your back’s against the wall
stand against the liars!
Stronger than before
when your life becomes a war.
Set the world on fire!”
Set the World on Fire by Black Veil Brides.
{ listen to it here! }

“Set the world on fire” is one of the first english songs to catch my interest in months. As soon as I heard it, I was like “…ERIK SONG.” and it inspired this picture. Which took like. Forever to do. lol.
I find it weird that Transformers songs often make it onto that playlist… hm…

ANYWAYS. These are my characters Erik (black/white hair), Lacey (purple hair, ONLY girl), and Tobias (long white/black hair).

I tried making it a tad more realistic than I usually do. AKA: I gave them noses. I like the result, I can’t say for sure if I’ll keep doing this style though. I also tried making the line art thinner than normal~
On top of that, I toned Lacey’s outfit down and made it a little less futuristic looking, since the story isn’t futuristic in a sense. I mean, it is but everybody would still dress the same as they do now… OTL
ALSO their colours are still the same as before, the fire is just tinting it. c:

Since it looked horrible when zoomed out it’s bigger than normal. ENJOY.
Also, this is my 100th deviation on DeviantART. <333 My 50th was a quickpaint of Tobi here, so I figured these three would be perfect for such a milestone! Edit, July 25, 2012: changed some small details so it would look better as a print. c: You can find the old version here. Thank you!
