Description
I wanted to create the Aqualung* character and thought it needed a female in the scene. This is Cross-eyed Mary* giving the sweet lovable letch a few shillings, since her escort service is doing quite well.
*- Both are song titles from the group Jethro Tull (in case you didn't know).
Used Jada hair for Aqualung as a base, but painted over most of it and painted the beard too.

Very good pose and composition. Very good scene.
Great image Dave! That's exactly how I have pictured Aqualung all this time :)
great depiction of current usa economy.
Well, at least, he's not Jack the Ripper!!!
And he does resemble Ian. Nice character work.
what a great scene! :)
I'm not familiar with the songs but this is very good. Well done!
Great Render....!!
So much talent and a Tull fan, too! :^)
I saw Jethro Tull in 1971 (I was soldier in Nurenberg, Germany) as a lead up band to Deep Purple. They did 'Aqualung' and stole the show. Ian Anderson the primary member is an excellent flute player who wrote songs about the apocalyptic degeneracy of indigence. The performance was very theatrical with Anderson doing backbends while supported by his flute thrusting his other arm into the air and tearing other musicians away from their instruments in order to play them himself. It started with him playing an acoustic guitar lighted only by a small spotlight and ended the sames way. This picture brings together the two principle characters of the album, Cross-eyed Mary who prostitutes herself close to a school and Aqualung, an old man in tattered cloths who ogles little girls at playgrounds. It's nice to see them finally together.
Superbe ;)
does the jack-knife barber still drop her off at school?...;)
Good Compesition and thanks for adding the info on Jethro Tull.
wonderful image! I love what you did with the hair and the beard, great job!

Wonderful scene frog.....!!! Fantastic and very expressive characters....!!! I like the very good lighting work....!!! Great environment too....!!!
Wonoderfuly done!
Xcellent composition!
Great image with a great likeness of 'Mr Aqualung' And don't worry Pakled, I'm sure the Jack Knife Barber is still 'acquainted' with her. Oh no, I'm gonna have that guitar riff in my head all week now! D
well done... thanks for planting the 'Tull in my head!
This is very well done. Great work on the hair and pose. Haven't thought of Jethro Tull in years, lol.
The picture in my mind of Cross-eyed Mary didn't do her justice, she looks much better here -^ And Aqualung looks great! Even if he's a bit creepy ^^ And yes I may be 36 but I do know of Jethro Tull -_^
jethro's perfect!
Along with Thick as a Brick, my favorite Tull songs, awesome job. Peace
Great job on the pic! I always liked that album, too.
