Salute! I promised and I did it.
I have been listening to Riverside not too many months, approximately from the beginning of the year (2009), superficially at first, for a wonder… But since Anno Domini High Definition album was released, I finally lent an attentive ear to this band's music and return to their old records. Today they are one of my favourite prog-rock performers. Simultaneously I know that guys experience very sharp upsurge of popularity and interest in their creation in Europe. Even ''local'' heroes must be known by sight, right? Here they are, clockwise and from left to right:
Piotr Grudziński (lead guitar player), Piotr Kozieradzki (drummer), Michał Łapaj (keyboardist, theremin player and backing vocalist) and, at last, Mariusz Duda (lead singer, bass and acoustic guitar player). Ah, yes! Szkarłatny ptak is not forgotten too.
I drew them thrice-cartoon, as I always do.

Mechanical pencil outline colored in Photoshop.
Background pictures used when imitating official artwork were taken by me and my soul mate at Cheryomushki District, at the turn of the road near my residence and from my balconies. :XD:

P.S. There were 44 layouts in sum. I learned it after end of my work; it was pure coincidence, because 44:44 is the length of ADHD album, and also 44 is a count of Riverside concerts in its supporting tour before the end of this year.
P.P.S. Red Roy is watching you! Do you mind?

Ah, lovely illustration of the band! That's exactly how I remember them from the 2009 tour. I feel so nostalgic right now :heart:
I love how much thought you put into this portrait! I'm going to their 5th gig in my life on Sunday, too bad we won't see Grudzień anymore on stage. Also poor luck they're not visiting Russia in spring, maybe they will come in autumn, I keep my fingers crossed you can see them live too soon! :heart:
