PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS by Dire Straits

It's a mystery to me ... the game commences
for the usual fee ... plus expenses
confidential information ... it's in a diary
This is my investigation ... it's not a public inquiry

I go checking out the reports ... digging up the dirt
you get to meet all sorts in this line of work
treachery and treason ... there's always an excuse for it
and when I find the reason I still can't get used to it

And what have you got at the end of the day?
What have you got to take away?
A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
Blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes

Scarred for life ... no compensation
Private investigations...


It's been an awful lot of time since I wanted to illustrate this song and finally I took some time off from other obligations to actually do it. This character is yet to be named, and all that I know about so far is that he's the typical "private eye" kind of guy, that you see in films noir. It ties to the illustration 'Cabaret' ( [link] ), which I'll probably develop further into a project I want to tackle after UTOPIA.

I hope you enjoy it and get those :+fav:es coming! :D

Let no one rob you of that powerful motivational force known as vision...seeing not only what is...but what can be.

This guy kinda reminds me of Lt.Stargazer from
the Silverhawks series.
:iconaerion-the-faithful:
That's actually a VERY cool reference, and indeed there's something of Stargazer in this guy...

This is really fantastic stuff; I love how you made the picture he's looking at seem subtle yet focused at the same time. Wonderful! :D

Oh my God....robot detectives.....it's like....it's like 'The Matrix' decided to go steampunk with a sprinkle of 'awesome' on top.
....I don't know why but I think Copper would suit him...yeah!"Hi, my name is Detective Jake Copper".......eh, or not ^^;
Awww, the poor cabaret robot girl....she doesn't get killed I hope O_O!
The whole 'grunge' look to it really amps up the steampunk-e-ness of the picture, dirty and grimey, just like a detective story should be :3 Awesome Nic!
....I think I just got an idea on what to draw for you :D
