freewriting scrapI am the dream that you soaked up and spit out, lies blistering your tongue.
I am the cracked porcelain under your cracked fingernails, sweat-slicked skin searing a gritty grip on the edges as you stare into the mirror.  I am the opaque tape, scarred with ridges, plastered over the fragments where you shattered the glass and shredded your knuckles, wanting out and finding only another way in.
I am the silver ring on your dry and ripped bottom lip, glint just bright enough under the flickering fluorescent light to remind you that you'd break your own skin to taste the steel.  I linger in your mouth

This TimeThis Time

In this version, we are victims.
The hospital defines death. It smells like iodine and powder, stale hope and blue steel. Just because it's clean now doesn't mean the blood was never here, scalpels poised above bruised and swollen skin. It's here where people die, here where they learn to fear what they cannot control. The air in the hospital is empty; how can you possibly breathe? No wonder they run tubes up your nose and down your throat.
I hate the wires taped to you, inside you. I don't want you to be monitored like this, don't want them staring at you, at us. They see you as a patient, mark you down as just another

Ian Reference Sheetby =Laitma

Digital Art / Drawings / People

I have to admit, it's nice to take a break from painting and do some digital lines again. _{I think coming back to them after gaining a bit more confidence in anatomy helps a lot, hahah;;}

Anyway! A reference sheet for Ian--I really wanted to figure out his look once and for all, and I'm actually pretty happy with how this came out! (Nevermind he doesn't actually, ahm, look any different than when I first drew him in the AD comic... /cough) Content to let my style take me where it will, for now...

But, yeah. He might look nice, but he's really not a compassionate or likeable guy. Ian takes anyone trying to treat him nicely as a sign of pity and has a tendency to overreact, aggressively.

Random aside... Ian actually comes from a pretty well-off family, but that just makes him useless and unskilled now that he's on the streets. He's gotten a lot tougher since he started to hang out around Cris's gang, though. He actually uses his looks to help him steal things, or sneak in--Cris finds this useful, but still hates the kid's guts.

...I know that the AD characters are pretty boring appearance-wise, but that's because really, this is all about the story.

~~Anyway, yep! I'm working on a Cris reference right now, but he's fighting me tooth and nail, so we'll see how this goes...~~ And a Cris to go with! [link]
