AD - Swan Song Part 2The burning's not enough.
Ian stares at the puckered red skin, feels the throb of the burn but no, it's just not enough this time to keep his hand from shaking, though he's gotten good at hiding it, can tense his fingers so if you don't look closely enough you can't even tell. But no, it's never been enough.
That's why he's here, he supposes. He's got a harness rig of belts and buckles in his right hand and a pair of scraped-up earmuffs around his neck as he's climbing up the stairs to the roof after Math, hears the thudda-thudda-thudda of the helicopter blades grow louder and louder until it drowns out the thudding of his own blood t

AD - Swan Song Part 1The boys are betting again on who's going to die. That's what it's all come down to, in the end: just one big game where someone's bad luck equals a couple of stale cigarettes and a shot of 'Dust, and who has to dig the grave.
Cris watches them lazily, out of the corner of his eye; he's no fucking peacemaker and he couldn't really care what they do as long as they aren't killing each other--not yet, at least. Rich's voice rises above the scraps of chatter but really he's only fighting the howling wind: the kid's gotten a lot louder since he killed that gangbanger from Stone's group--nothing more than a lucky fucking shot of course, every

AD - Drown"I've had this dream before," he says, "you see?"
Right now you don't fucking give a shit. Right now, you're six stories up and shoved over the railing, his hand on your shirt and his knuckles digging into your collarbone and the wind ripping through your hair, screaming to drag you down.
"It was just like this. Just like it, really. My hand on your neck and you hanging out there and me about to push you off and watch you splatter below. Just like this."
"Fuck you, let me go"--
"Shut up!" he snaps, shakes you and you're grabbing at his arm and his fingers but you can't pry them off a

Simple, but I wanted to just post this ~~because AD is consuming my mind and soul and waking hours~~ to show that Ian wasn't always who he is now!

Pre-Fall Ian was actually kind of an arrogant bastard. He was full of himself and kind of looked down on others, which--hey!--really didn't help him get along with anyone or make him a very likeable person. It was still the dreamer side of him that got him into the whole AD mess, but yeeeeeeeeah, he was kind of an asshole.

A-aaaah arrogant bastards are my number one weakness did you knooooow ;A; I want to punch him in the face and smother him with unwanted affection~~

I absolutely adore the way you did his hair! The subtle use of tones, the broken lines, ah! It really makes it look both soft and weighted, which is just a lovely thing for a portrait. <:

=Laitma Mar 3, 2012 General Artist

Good gosh the mental picture of you doing that is just--incredibly adorable, actually. ._.;;
I'm trying to picture how Ian would take to hugs and affection, pffffffft!

And ahahahahah if you love arrogant bastards then I guess this means your villains won't be dying anytime soon, huh?? (Which, I am 200% ok with, of course~ )

Lai are you sure you're not a mangaka? Those screentones and grey values are used very well!

=Laitma Feb 25, 2012 General Artist

Hahahahah! Tones are easy to use but, but, I'm still so far gone from being a mangaka... comics are HARD WORK. Backgrounds and perspectives and group shots and action poses!! ;A; I want to do it sometimes, though....

~airstatic Feb 26, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I've always admired the way they tweak perspective, especially with buildings aah they're so talented ヽ(°ロ°)ノ
But yeah if you ever do try drawing a manga pls let us knoww
