The Lolla demigods. They make their gig entertaining. They create endless homoerotic tension. They make history. Techically it's not a ship art but I like their chemistry a lot so I'll add a Trichard tag. I used a few dot brushes for imitating the effect of the stipple art style. The reference for their poses were taken from one of Macroblank's album covers. And I took a Lollapalooza poster for a background:

Briefly, Richard and Trent were close friends from the very beginning and probably explored the boundaries of their sexuality together while working together at Nine Inch Nails. They had a habit of getting drunk and kissing in clubs to shock conservative-minded people and drive away dubious fans from themselves. In this post there are a few pieces from various interviews of them taking about their "affairs". Both Richard (who his nickname "Piggy" from Trent) and Trent talked openly about it. But over time, they had disagreements which ruined their friendship for a while. Fortunately, they are good friends again. Rich even claimed that their children sometimes spend time together ehen their families meet. The song "Piggy" from "The Downward Spiral" is believed to be dedicated to Richard's departure from the band and how Trent felt after that (but this may be controversial, as Trent claimed that the song was written earlier, although, perhaps, it had a different meaning). There was also a theory that "Captain Bligh" by Filter was about Reznor but Patrick denied this. In short, it was a friendship with a touch of flirtation and bi-curiosity which later became toxic. But time heals, and they were able to start communicating again. I recently found the best comment on Reddit that clearly describes the problem of their relationship:

I don't take this ship super seriously, but for me it's the epitome of understatement in any mutual relationship. After all, this is a pretty typical case of a falling out, but it's not often accompanied by sexual nuances.

Passion and tenderness.

I guess I never posted that before. I already forgot about this doodle I sent to @miercoles-wednesday two-three months. Trichard and Chris who’s behind the scenes lol
