Artist's Comments

"I feel a warm resistance beneath the outer layer,
What once moved living organs leaks through a thin veneer,
Blue blood and royal body, elegantly posed to death,
Not speaking prince, now, are you? Not breathing one more breath..."

- 'Posed To Death' by The Faint. ^^; It's actually a really happy, bouncy song ... but yeah.

How long did this take me? Bloody ages anyways ... it looked like one of those pictures where I love the sketch too much, but wouldn't ever be able to finish it, but I had one day last weekend with a long train journey where I sat and inked it the whole way ... then no internet connection when I got home, and nothing better to do than colour it. :| But I'm so proud of it now, I think it's probably the best thing I've done with my markers so far! X3

Urm, about the picture ... yesh. My Roco', all hurted! ;__; But ... happy ... bloody masochist. >_>;; But *reels off the story that she's already typed up a thousand times* he's immortal, can't die properly ... he goes into a death-like state occasionally, but his soul or whatever stays linked to his body ... Something like that. And this is his longer haired version ... so this'd either be in the future or in the past ... I'm going to say in the past though, to try and explain the silly carved wooden sofa! >_< Yesh. I love how his face turned out, especially the little bit of blood on his cheek (I had fun with the blood ... can you tell? ^^;), but I'm sooo pissed off at the stupid anatomy ... and, once again BIG hands! ;__;

I'm going to be annoying here, but ... please could I get some crits on this? I feel like I'm not going anywhere at all with my actual drawing right now, and just even a few pointers to spark off from would help me immensely. :heart:

Oh yeah: 1. "omfg-background!!!"; 2. "YOU CAN'T KILL ME NOW, OR DIE! Buhahahaha!!! >|"

Materials: Multiliners, markers (a mixture of Trias and Ciaos), coloured pencil, white acrylic ink.

(I had no idea what section to put this in, because it doesn't really look that anime-ish to me, and it's definitely not a comic-thingy ... but one of the keywords on Kazaa for that song is "macabre", which was how I found it when searching for an artist of the same name, soooo ... X3)

[EDIT] Oh bugger it ... please full-view? ;__; *kicks bite-size thumbnail*

Very nice, I love the hair. The shoulders could stand to be a tad broader, but this is still a gorgeous piece! :D

Thanks a lot! :hug: I'd intended originally for the figure to look sort of willowy and worked from that, but you're right, the shoulders are definitely a bit too narrow. I need to work on anatomy ... ^^;
