Birth of a Killer

Larten clenched his fists and looked down. "I have nothing to lose..." he thought. "But what will happen if I do make this choice... Will I become a monster...?"

-----
Before he knew it, Larten found himself on top of the man, his strength coming from pure adrenaline. He furiously thrust the knife he was holding into the man's chest and twisted it. The man screamed bloody murder, giving Larten a sickening feeling of enjoyment that shivered up his spine.
He thrust the knife in and out of the mans chest. Over and over. His anger completely consuming him.
He stopped, breathing heavily. For a split second he caught himself smiling down at the dead man, proud of his work. That smile soon turned to a terrified frown. Shaking uncontrollably, he dropped the knife and looked at his hands. Covered with blood. He turned around and saw the expressions of his fellow laborers, scared for their own lives. The silence coming from the group was so loud it hurt his ears. He looked back down at the man... the corpse. What had he just done...?
-----

"Heh... Will I become a monster?" he laughed to himself. "I already am one."

He looked up at Seba with fire in his eyes. All doubts completely gone. "Yes..." he said.
"Turn me into a vampire."

Yeah... I am uploading this at 2am XDDD

All this really was a experimentation. XD But I liked it enough to be the final peice I'm sending for the contest over at the Darren Shan group.

I was really experimenting will styles, coloring techniques, and lighting for future use and I must say that I'm please the result.

But anywho. The CDF contest is mainly "Young CDF Characters", and since the first installment to The Saga of Larten Crepsley is on its way, (20 MORE DAYS), why not so some art for Birth of a Killer. X3

This scene however *points above to long ass angsty shit* was inspired by the RP I am currently doing on gaia. (A friend and I couldn't stand the wait for the book so a while ago we started a RP for it XD)

Rain

I haven't done something traditional in FOREVER.

Well this was an art project I just finished for my AP art class. The assignment was to create a response to a newspaper article. And since its been SO hot and I simply CANNOT wait for all this sexy rain to come (We're gonna be hit by Earl a bit), I decided to do the weather.

The piece actually has a deeper meaning though. At the time I started this a lot of things from the past came up. And if you notice, the weather in the article is sunny. It stands for, that back then, even on the brightest days, it rained for me.

But yeah, hopefully I'll be able to get some time to work on some more stuff that I personally want to do. I am so swamped with school right now. (I'm seriously thinking of dropping AP Lit because I think it may be too much for be to handle... aka I won't be able to draw for myself anymore).

I'm just glad I was able to upload something after a while. >.<

Done with newspaper, acrylic, ink, and watercolored pencils.

Bakuman -SKETCH-

Well two weeks ago I finished catching up with the bakuman manga. (AMAZING manga btw, if you haven't read it yet, GO AND DO SO)

Anyway, this is something I've been working on for the past week. (Thats a record for me, usually I work on the pencil in the afternoon and finished the coloring the same night.) But I've put this on hold for a bit because im thinking of entering the Scott Pilgrim contest. (You know the one where you have to create the 8th evil ex? X3) Well I have an awesome idea for it, and since it's due in 2 weeks that has to get done first. Don't worry though, this WILL get done. (Along with my Mashiro cosplay! YESH.)

DESTINY

A collab with the wonderful I drew the lineart while he colored.

I really don't know what to write about in this artist comment box without just totally going on and on about the amazing things SuperDecimal has done to it! XD (Like seriously guys, he thought out just about everything when coloring- he made Vancha have a nice tan because he's always out braving the sun, he made his hair more of a light green so it looks like it got naturally stained from sleeping and living out in the wild, Gannen's skin is also done lighter to look more realistic, and not to mention the BEAUTIFUL choice on to how to color Tiny.) Just Awesome! I DEMAND YOU CHECK OUT HIS PAGE RIGHT NOW D< GO D<

Well anyway it was real fun working with him, it would be tons of fun doing it again. X3

Ashley Reference

This is what happens when you don't have a drafting table... The legs become WAY to short.

Well anyway, a lot of people on dA have been asking me to draw up a full-body shot of myself to have for reference for the contest. So, well, here it is! XD

SD1: Benjamin Franklin

WUT.

Ok, there is an explanation to this I swear.

I am going to be starting this new series: School Days. You see, for the past year, I have kept a quote a book to keep all the funny inside jokes in between me and my friends. It was at 3:00 this morning that I got the brilliant idea to make a series out of them. Now, keeping in mind that some might not appear funny considering they are inside jokes, I will alter and tweak them a little so the average joe will be able to enjoy reading them.

This one, however.

I was in english class with Amanda ( ) and while we were getting ready to write our Do Nows, I continued with my regular routine and asked her the date like I always do. She must have zoned out or something because she responded with: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN!
God... sometimes I just... I just don't know. XD

But I assure you there are tons and tons and funny little things like this in my notebook I'm just dying to share with you. (Most of them star Amanda and I but hey)

CONTEST

This is a little contest I'm having for my watchers on deviantART.

First off, it's not technically a contest. I HATE the idea of choosing who is best at something because there is no such as thing as being better or best in art.

All they have to do is draw me. Thats it! Whats the reward you ask? Every single person that enters will have their entry posted in a huge montage of them all to be uploaded and submitted to several clubs in order to get recognized.
