*slightly embarrassed cough*

What can I say, you go to see someone in concert, not of your own choosing (it was part of a bargain with my sister as I lugged her to a WWE live event), and the band you see just win you over with stellar music, personable performance and few magic moments thrown in.

For those who don't know, (and come ooon, you know you all know really... *grin*), this is a Backstreet Boy. Yes. You read right. And now I have no shred of dignity left, I'll continue.

This is AJ McClean, the 'bad boy' of the group. He was such good fun on stage I felt compelled to try and get some of that cocky attitude down in digital. Using a couple of photos as reference (two of which were taken myself at the concert), I've worked in pretty much solid black and whites and just a touch of grey here and there and done in a couple of hours, I'm pretty pleased with the result.
