Andi Deris - Frontman of the band Helloween (requested)

.
Andi Deris, the sim





Wiki describes him as
'[...] a German singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist of power metal band Helloween [...]. He has an active solo career, as well as his own recording studio in Tenerife.'

I didn't know this man. Or his band(s), or his music.
Shortly after I uploaded my Sim of Alice Cooper, LisaMiddelHauve99 requested this sim (sorry about the delay!). I finally found the freetime to start looking at this project. Here's how it progressed through the week:





And this is how it finally turned out :





There's two versions, with red hair and with blond hair. You go by what you prefer.
I hope you like.

I've listened to some of their known songs (I even bought some), and I'd compare it to bands of the 80s and 90s such as Skid Row, Metallica or Megadeth. It's the 80s, 90s definition of 'metal'. A real 'metalhead' would consider them 'way too soft' to be called 'metal'. To nowaday's definitions it would be closer to categories like 'glam rock' or 'hard rock'. No death growl here.

Andi Deris made a duet with Candice Night, Light The Universe. Candice Night is the female singer of the band Blackmore Night, there's one of their songs on my other post, 'I Saw Three Ships'. 'Light The Universe' is very nice, and so is the video, I suggest you check it out.

If you want him in the outfit with the black vest, try Liana Sims 2.
If you prefer him with the hairstyle that can be seen in my 'Version 3' of this sim, it's Hurricane, in Blond color, by Kavar on Insimenator.Org. Get that hairstyle here.

Have fun!
