What is a trench coat mafia? It is basically another term for Goths who wear trench coats.
This is suppose to be me, if I wish to dress up like a trench coat mafioso. There is a black suit, the scarf, and everything. I also added the whiteness in the face as well as the red eyes and the wicked hair style (wolverine style).
But, this is not how I really look like. This is Johnny [the] Reaper from my anime series, Dark Halo.
The whiteness in the face produces the grotesque look. The hair actually represents the devil's horns because of the two points that stick out. The black suit and the black band on the left arm is usually a tradition of mourn but in this case, it represents Death. The red tie represents defiance. The silky scarf is just an accessory that I just added because I've seen them worn by Mafia boss. The textured background is actually created with texts with the word, DEATH; they are just cloned with a few transforming adjustments like moving, scaling, and rotating.
I painted this all in one layer with the exception of a background layer. So total 2 layers used for the production without counting the minor layers which are like for my signature, watermark, and copyright information. But other than that, it's 2 layers that represents the production.
