"You've been hit by,
You'be been struck by
A Smooth Criminal..."

Giftart/Fanart to :3

I've been wanting to draw a gangsta for some time, so I went ahead and made Fred the gangsta (due to long over-due fanart. B|) The more I drew it and worked on this, the more I began thinking about Smooth Criminal, by Michael Jackson.

Many people don't understand how much I idolize Michael Jackson... it's hard to make me a fan if the subject isn't sports-wize, and hot damn, he made me a fan of his. Every pic I work on, some sort of Michael Jackson is on at some point, whether it be a whole album from him, or a few songs. Either way, he inspires me alot, even though music and illustration isn't in the same catergory...

So... I heavily referenced his outfit from Smooth Criminal's music video... and I like how this came out. The gun was referenced, but not from the video. I put Fred's name on the barrel of the gun, if ya'll can see it. :3

...I guess this came out as half a tribute, and half a fanart/giftart... huh.

Well, I hope you like it, Kyuubifred! ^^ And I hope you don't mind me using this theme for Fred. <:3

P.S.- To those who doesn't like Michael Jackson, please no negative comments. You don't like him, so you don't like the theme of this pic? Go somewhere else; no one's forcing you to look at this... B|
