Did anyone draw these two in this format or nah...

Happy birthday John Deacon 💕✨️

I sincerely wish John a lovely 73rd birthday, surrounded by his precious family 💖 I tried a more painterly style this time, dipping my toes into a royal AU for John's birthday. I used one of my favourite photos of him as reference (I'll ppst it down below) and set my imagination free for his outfit. I wish I had more time to polish it more and properly paint it, but I did this artwork during a very difficult moment, I wanted to challenge my art and life decided to challenge me back, I guess... but I still did my best and I hope you'll like it too 🥺🥰💜💕

I might've been drawing other stuff than Queen recently, but my love and admiration for John is still burning like a quiet but vivid flame. I'll always wish him the absolute best and I'll never stop being grateful to him for having shared his incredible talent and dedication with the world.

Shared by Tim Staffell who recently (2020) rediscovered the contact print of Smile's photo session.

These were scattered across the OIQFC magazine, Tim's TikTok, and Tim's subscription newsletter - so I thought I'd put them all together! I hope he'll share or sell proper scans of the whole thing one day.

Outtake from Dead on Time (take 27(!!)). Brian messed up his lightning speed guitar intro...

Brian: Bollocks!

Roger: [...] can't even remember your own song!

Brian: Bollocks!

A gem and confirmed to make me appreciate Dead on Time a lil bit more. Thanks to the taper, Bob for sharing, Miles for remastering.

Edit: to counterbalance this mess up here is Brian talking more about it very recently:

Freddie Mercury

Rarity: 5☆

Weapon: Sword

Vision: Pyro

Nation: Sumeru

Here's Freddie from my Genshin Impact x Queen crossover!

Freddie is a famous singer from Sumeru, who has also traveled to Fontaine with Xinyan to learn rock music and share it with the rest of Teyvat, aiming to get in his own band. He uses his Pyro energy to heat the audience up and unleash his powerful voice. He loves to use his very own custom-built microphone/sword to fight enemies and sing on stage. However, Freddie has a soft and loving side to him, he's very loyal, selfless and determined to bring a smile to everyone!

Freddie was so much fun to design and -while keeping in mind his Pyro element and the Sumeru region- I mixed a ton of Freddie's outfits together to make it as flamboyant and royal as possible! Zhandra Rhodes, the feathers from his Hard Life outfit, his sequined and harlequin leotards, a red scarf directly from Hot Space, gloves and wristbands, the iconic black nail polish, obviously an exposed chest... And lots of wings to recall both the phoenix and the god Mercury! His microphone/sword recalls the red Q ribbon and the rose thorns in the Queen logo, while the rose in the middle is the Freddie Mercury rose.

Here you can see all the sketches with very early studies for all their designs and Here is a little overview of them as characters, with aesthetics and quick summaries. ROGER | JOHN | BRIAN

Hairless version (more aligned with Genshin's aesthetic):
