Desolation Row

Description

Recognize one or both of these guys?
Artistic response to the song 'Desolation Row'.

WIP 2: Bob's done, though I'll need to go back and detail his hair because I got it done really quickly and it's a little sloppy.

WIP 3: Now we see Gerard Way!... hopefully? I had trouble with his face. Hopefully he's recognizable. I might fix his teeth and possibly detail his hair. Next, and maybe finally, is color!

FINAL: So, the story behind this is that My Chemical Romance just covered Dylan's Desolation Row for the Watchmen soundtrack. I thought it would be something to portrait the two singers together. Though Gerard Way is not as much of a legend as Bob is yet, they both represent rebels in their time. It's a kind of past and present juxtaposition. I like the color, though the previous WIP was more perfect and precise. What do you think?

Do you like the color or the graphite one better?

EDIT: My bro, who's an MCR fan, said Gerard didn't particularly look like himself so I fixed him up. The ref of Gerard is below- if you think I could edit him more, please comment.

I really like it although I think for gerard the nose is a bit too... in. If that makes sense... and the shading on the cheek seems to be a bit misplaced. Other than that brilliant
