Description
"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! X3Urm, 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.
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*

I don't actually use this account any more ... I'm just checking in just now to see if I'd missed any comments or anything, and it'd seem I had! ^^
Thanks a lot for your kindness! However, regarding artwork, I don't really do requests unless it's for friends, and unfortunately don't really even have time for commissions right now. I appreciate the request all the same.

This is outstanding. I love the way the hair falls about him. And i think the shoulders look just right...but thats me. >.>;

That's a lot of little details, the zippers look great and I love a man with an ascot XD If you're still looking for crits the one thing that I noticed was the size of his head in comparison to his middle. His head might be a little large comparatively.
I personally like the big hands, and I like his pose a lot too. That's a beautiful coloring job. I wish I could use markers like that... and that they weren't so expensive. XD

wow this image is wonderful
so painful but yet peaceful
i love the blue and the black together in this piece, very very nice ^^

Wow. Markers. I was about to say, "Hey, Tablet?"
Awesome little details. It looks very realistic, with its own stylistic flair. I would say darken it up a little, but that's just me. Great "movement" with the hair. I love how it lays over him, and the way his body is posed. Excellent work. Looks gorgeous.

wow..this looks a lot like my character. hotness...very nice job.

Oo wow, cool! What's the character if you don't mind me asking? I've seen so many characters that just look the same as this guy by coincidence, it's crazy, but always so fun! ^_^
Thanks a lot, too!

That Faint song is amazing. Have you heard the new album? Its well worth a listen. This picture is amazing; itβs so elegant and regal, yet dark and decadent at the same time. Fantastic work!

In truth, I dont really know very much of their stuff ... I downloaded that song just by chance once, loved it, and listened to another couple of their tracks ... then just sort of forgot about them.
Thanks a lot for your comment!
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, no worries. Its a great picture.
If you want some tracks to look for then go for "Agenda Suicide" "Birth" "Amorous in Bauhaus Fashion" and "Erection".
Oh, your work reminded me of one of my friends on here you ought to check her out if you get the time.

Wow, this is great! I saw your post on EGL, so I thought I'd let you know^_^ Your style is so great and unique!

the texture on the fabrics and the soft light are bloody wondeful...oh yes, very much so. same goes for the details. i always admire artists who has the patience to work like this in 'real' media...since i myself lost it longtime ago.
and holy damnation! isn't he a perfect little piece of man! simply elegant.

Mwaahahha. Right where we want him. *jumps*
This is really beautiful. The colouring is amazing. Especially on the couch. It looks all satiny and real-like. And of course the hair. I always like your hair... and I always like the big hands. I thought it was just part of the character. Especially since he's a he. It reminds me of a vampire book Called Lost Souls? where the main bad guy is described as being androgyenous (eh, curse you spelling) except for his hands which strong and masculine. squee.
The only thing that strikes me as being off proportionately is the chest & hips. They both seem a bit narrow for his head. But ignore that cuz its fucking beautiful anyway luv.

Oh my gawrsh, it's a draggles!! XD I thought you'd just completely left or something!
Too much loves for you, seriously.
(And that made me want to read, now.

OH MY GOD. I love this. I love love love it. I love it endlessly~ T_T I don't even know where to begin... from the beautiful composition to his lovely hair to your amazing skill with marker, I adore it all ;_;
I'm so glad I stayed up until 5am today. Otherwise I might not have seen this

... This comment just made my day. X3
(... and, ok, I'm in love with your stuff now. I'm sure I've seen your art before, though I don't think I'm watching your page ... or, was. Am now. *_*)

I was about to watch you too XDDD Just now. Oh my. Now that it isn't 5am anymore I can look through your gallery without falling over :3 And I love it to pieces T__T

You are officially my traditional art sensei <3
That couch reminds me of my grandmas old house, she had this really big room that she never used much that was decorated in fancy victorian furnature and had a couch almost exactly like that, except red. :3 even had spider webs too... lol!
One of my favorite pieces of yours now... I'm thinking this will make a great wallpaper... *click* :3
Your close attention to details and coloring are mind-blowing. Considering traditional mediums are not forgiving to mistakes, I am in wonder at how flawless this looks... I bet people would pay big bucks to get lessons on how to color like that ^_~

Hey, at least if he'd been posed to death, he won't move, right??
I'm not going to read the above comments, so please please forgive me if there are repeats.
Anatomy wise- his head seems a little large, but otherwise he falls very realistically and gracefully. I adore the blue hilights in his hair. Luff luff luff.
The background is phenominal I think... I love the colours you've chosen, the spiderwebs are excellently done... wow, I totally suck at finding things to crit on 
But I love this ^__^

I... am... In... love.
EVEN HIS ZIPPER IS FANCY! Holy crap this kicks ASS. The blood and the nails (Give me his nails please) and his pants and his lips and everything, and I'm sorry, I can't crit, I love it too much. O_O

Holy crap, Gail! You should be thankful you're not a guy right now, or I'd be raping you of your talent!!
I'm ... just not even going to describe how much this rocks. Seriously. There are NO words.
I wish there was a rape icon ; ;

Your hands aren't too bad- they're better then mine. Blood is always good- I liked the splat on the cheek- you were right. The leather came out beautiful and you should be very proud of the sofa. Lovely ^ ^

Ooooh...lovely! Really really beautiful job with the markers. One of these days I'm gonna get me some makers and try them out. But I love the composition and the way the character is posed...or posed to death rather...hehe.

Thats absolutley amazing O____________O....
Jeez you're a marker-wizard, I simply adore the cushions and the attention to detail in the fabric and on his clothes... gawwwd T_______T.... *uber green*

That's really amazing for markers... when I first saw it as a thumbnail I was thinking that it was Cging or something 
The bigger the hands the bigger the penis is what I learned.

Man oh man, you've really outdone yourself here. It is soooo damn good. If anything critical, the perspective on the couch looks a bit funny (but that may be because I'm not used to big cushiony couches), and that line on the midriff that seperates his torso and thigh looks less like muscular definition and more like a small potbelly. But again, that's only if I'm trying to be picky.
Anyway. Yow. Damned fine work

OMG That's soooo beautiful! Amazing, as always!
And I forgot to tell you this, I saw a sign for a pizza place the other day that said something or other Rococo on it XD seriously!

OH my murfing god it's gorgeous! I love the blood splatters, and his face is wonderfully done
The background is just as gorgeous as the foreground, i love the cobwebs.

..... O_O ...... GLARB.
I am SO too braindead to crit anything. Though I gotta say I disagree with the 'too narrow shoulders' thing since... I've always had a pretty petite bodied image of Ro. I could be wrong, though ^_^ I usually am! YAY FOR ME. ... ummm....
God, you're amazing with hair, and with MARKERS. ;_;

I love it. It's gorgeous. I can't pick one thing that would be the best, the whole thing is amazing.
