A personal illustration of The Weeknd from his album, After Hours. I came up with this idea of The Weeknd's character gazing and smoking across the way from the Las Vegas strip, or just chilling before he goes and does a lot of regrettable stuff. Like the calm before the storm. During the animation, he's seen driving and crying, almost like he regrets what has happened and what he's choosing to do with his time in Las Vegas.
