Okay... That's Marilyn from his I don't like the drugs (but the drugs like me) video [1999].
Manson's Omega - the main character of Mechanical Animals album - is my favourite Manson's creation.
I am very careful with Omega - this picture is just a warm-up. And it's all done in traditional media (ink, water paints and coloured pencils), so it was a challenge. I hope you'll like it :)

You can see a TV-cross in a background. It's from a video too. It's the symbol of TV and religion as a metaphor of narcotics. People are addicted to their religion or their tv sets. TV & religion are creating gods and stars - that are "drugs" as well. Omega is crucified on this cross, he became a shocking media star, a god, a drug himself. It's just a part of this album's story - which is beautiful and tragic in the same time.

98% of the teenage population are not emo. If you're one of the 2% that is, shut the fuck up

very very well done, the colours are dreary and kinda creepy,
you totally nailed the whole manson vibe,
and a great likeness of him as well...
i also like your explanation for the symbolism of the tv-cross,
awesome job!
:clap:

Ask a ninja: If a ninja could be food, what food would it be?
Ninja: A cream puff. A very deadly cream puff.
Wonderful drawing and choice of subject.
Omega/Mechanical Animals, at the current point in time, is my favorite Marilyn Manson album and has become very metaphorical and meaningful to me- and that cross has always been one of my favorite manson images.
great piece!!

I can't get over how awesome your style is...This is so perfect and detailed. Taking time on the background was really worthwhile...and those sequins are great too =D
