Another fill for the fashion history meme:

I love it. Thank you so very much. Spike looks utterly pleased with himself and Dru would appreciate all that red.

[astridv]

He sure looks pleased with his suit!

Cool prompt, it was. Now I'll recognize this style of clothing.

[cornerofmadness]

he does

it was naturally a rather limited fashion period but I have fun with it (especially with my characters in my 1930's demon hunter series)

These are great!

[astridv]

Thanks. Haven't drawn Spike in ages!

EE! seconding everything CoM said, and he's all bumpy faced! :D That's so cool.

The other two illos are also lovely. I love the shading on Christian Kane's face.

[astridv]

Heh. Yeah, I was pondering whether to do him with vamp face or not, and I figured if you do something, don't do it halfway. *g*

[evil_little_dog]

Oh, yes, of course. :D

Spike is absoluely fantastic! I can see him strutting around in this outfit.

And you've caught the essence of both Eliot and Nate.

Omg, the color is so garish. /o\ But that's the one Spike wanted, what do you wanna do...

Spike has no fear once he's decided what he thinks is cool, agreed. What a vivid color - and making him vamped-out here is perfect, I think.

(I just re-watched "Becoming, Part 1", where Angel tells Whistler he wants to help Whistler's cause, "But I don't wanna dress like you." And now I wonder what Spike's reaction to Whistler would have been .... :D )

[astridv]

Yeah, I felt vamped-out Spike was the way to go with that suit. I was going for 'slightly absurd'. ;)
