I drew my version of the Afton kids; Michael, Elizabeth, and Evan Afton.
I'm also doing the Duchess Celestia ideas challenge(50 ideas actually) and picked the second choice: ' Look at some of your old photos and either draw them or something inspired by them'. While I have the photos, I'm not going to post them here for safety reasons but I was born in the early 80s and have some memories of the era. Since the Afton kids were living in the early to mid-80s era I figured they're perfect idea to draw them.
Michael Afton's mullet hair is based on Steve Harrington's mullet-like hairstyle from Stranger Things. I also made the jacket based on Eddie Munson(also from Stranger Things) because it looks badass and since Michael is a rebel, I put the Metallica logo patch on his jacket. I used adorkastock pic for a reference pose for him and Evan. https://www.deviantart.com/adorkastock/art/2021-DEJ-18-No-872493165
I am sorry that Evan's and Mike's shoes didn't turn out well as it's my first time drawing sneakers(I know it looks bad) and I didn't use any references(which I should have but oh well).
I tried to make the 80s retro background using a tutorial but it didn't come out the way I wanted so I just kept the bottom grid. I promise I'll try to make a better one next time as I loved the 80s grid background.
