Shi* f*cker dammit f*ck I had to redo this picture five times!!!! First, I started doing the linart on Gimp, and I go to save and quit. For some reason it didn't save, so I had to redo the good lineart. Then I tried to export it over to Photoshop and all programs 'Unexpectedly Quit.' Garahhh!! So, after doing the lineart again I managed to export it into PS okay and started coloring it. Halfway through, the power goes out and goes back on again. DX So, I went outside to try to calm myself in the hottub and try again later. So, I got a little ways through, and then PS 'Unexpectedly Quit' again!! Fraga!!! Shite!!! So... but now it's done, and it's my fave picture I've ever done. I wouldn't say all the time I spent on it was worth it, but it almost was. ;p

These two characters... Well, the auburn haired guy is my usual RP vampire character, Arias. He's about a year old now. The girl on the right's name is Kiera... >_> ... <_< ... Have you guys guessed? I've started another anime story plot -brick'd- And I'm not even finnished 15Elements yet. D8 But this story is turning out pretty well. If I ever do publish 15Elements, I'll probably work on this one next. I damn well want to do a vampire story sooner or later X3 The story plot is very shakey and doesn't make much sence about now, but it's bound to go somewhere sooner or later... Right? :'D

*clears throat* I'll explain. Just a little ways in the future, around the year 2020, the sun starts to move from it's original place. At first it was thought that the Earth that was tilting off it's axel, but after studying it, they find that a black hole is actually pulling the sun into it. It takes about two weeks for this to happen, and in that time people start to act insane. Kiera, the heroine of the story gets attacked by a crazy gang and is saved by Arias. When she finds out he's a vampire, she gets pretty much scared senceless. ( hmm... I don't know how to explain this next part ) So, she doesn't see him for awhile, but after the two weeks time, the sun gets sucked into the black hole making the earth pitch black. Though the earth doesn't freeze because the black hole that swallowed the sun is now giving out the same heat that the sun was. (ok, very farfetched, but I like it. Shuttup)
Kiera's neighborhood then get's bombed by one of the people that went crazy. Meaning that she's left alone in a pitch black world with nowhere to go. Plus, she doesn't realize it, but now that it's always pitch black out, vampires can be out any time of the day. Arias finds her eventually and drags her along with him to protect her. (He likes her because she looks like someone he used to know. I can't say anymore)
--- That's all I got. C'B Eheheh... Oh, and I'm calling it 'Armageddon' because I'm lazy and unoriginal, and I need to practice spelling the word 'armageddon'.

Sooo... This one has definatly got a bigger part when it comes to romance than 15Elements, which has no romance whatsoever. ^^'

------------------
Uh... maybe I'll say what I think of the actual picture now. 8D


I like teh sparklezzz! I like using allot of sparkles in my pics now. ^.^ I'm very proud of the wings too, and Arias' eyes. They look glittery and 'caramel-ish'

Ho! And I I tried just so hard Kiera's shirt! :'D So I don't want no one saying anything about it!! I put too much detail and thought into it to be critiqued! -shot- ( I'll do all the current characters real designs later. 'Xept Arias'. I like his clothes and they really are the most detailed I've ever done... No, for real. <D )


Picture theme songs? ( I have at least one for every picture, I might as well write 'em down )

In Pieces ~ Linkin Park ( really for no reason. ^^' ... Well, since these two sorta love each other, I guess it could be their theme song, but that's about it )

Shadow Dinosaur Says:

Excellent work

suikina Says:

Awesome job! I really like the colors!

HubrisIX Says:

Aww, they look so sweet!
Hm, that story sounds interesting. It's nothing like the vampire story I had thought up. ^.^

Ryuu no Tasogare Says:

Awww...That's really cute.

New story, eh? Well, maybe after you get a strong start on 15Elements, you can start working on this one. I don't know if this applies everywhere, but at least on the net, some artists manage to update several webcomics. They just have different update days for the different comics.

I actually have a story where the sun vanishes. It's my one fully-original story, Forlorn Shadow...which will get put into motion...someday. >>;; Granted, it's not a black hole, and everything else is very different other than being in the future without the sun. But still. BRILLIANT MINDS THINK ALIKE, DAMMIT! 8DD DOWN WITH THE SUN! Or something like that. xDD

I usually get annoyed too much if I finished a lineart and it gets corrupted. Explains why I have an old piece still waiting to be finished...

but enough about my woes, quite a good piece here with a nice sue of glow for his wings.
