Description At first, my attempt was to draw him like Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I seriously failed at making his face all bumpy, so I did this. My sister actually told me that he kind of has that James Dean look...who ever James Dean is. I did my best with drawing blood, as you can clearly see, but I think I made it lame. Oh well, I tried. Anyway, this is my Halloween submission. A bit early, yes, but I'm going to be in Waynesboro all next week and my laptop loves to be lame and not pick up the Internet service at my grandma's. So enjoy and I hope everyone has an awesome Halloween!

Cool work!
And what is with the red or red-orange spots over Basil's eyebrow and under his lip? Is that actually blood?

Haha, consider the Buffy fan in me wanted to come out in a way. I really didn't know what to do as far as a background goes, so I just stuck with this. I'm so glad you like it.

James Dean, by the way, was a popular actor from the 50's by the way. xD Check out 'Rebel Without a Cause' or his wikipedia, you'll see what I mean. He was the Edward Cullen of his day, just, y'know, way more awesome. xD

He really does have a great JD look here.

Of course, he was a lot better than Edward Cullen. I've seen some pictures of him at Denny's once. I know I've heard the name befoere, but there was never a face to go with it. Yeah, I need to be cultured more.

This is really nice, man. Been awhile since I visited your group since my webcomic took off, but I'm hoping all is good.

Very well done and intricate, a lot of time was spent on this one, I can bet.

Basil4Life In reply to Ari-Dynamic [2011-12-02 17:06:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Everything with the group is going very well. I'm amazed actually.

Oh yeah, patience isn't exactly my thing, but for some reason when it comes to drawing, I can have at it for hours. This took me almost two hours since I kept messing up. I go through computer paper like there no tomorrow.

Your sister is right, he does have a James Dean thing going on! As for who that is, he was way before your time. Before my time too. James Dean is associated with the 1950's 'bad boy' teens with a cute, innocent look about him. He died in his early twenties, so he was only able to do a few films, one of which is what made him an icon: Rebel Without a Cause.

Basil was drawn great here and I think the blood looks fine. I knew what it was before reading your description.

Basil4Life In reply to Brinatello [2011-10-29 01:02:55 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh, okay. I've heard the name before, but I knew knew exactly who he was.

Haha, he's... Bangelus? No, not going to use that! Let's just go with Basil as Angel (Angelus) Thanks so much! It seemed more lame before I colored it. I was trying to for a "badass" look, but it wasn't really there without the color.

If you ever go into one of those collectible stores with a lot of "I Love Lucy," Elvis, The Beatles, and The Wizard of Oz merchandise, you may come across a 50's blond-haired teen looking like a rebel or a greaser. That's James Dean.

Or how about that? Basil as Angelus for the title?

Cool! I might have to do that.

Haha, now why can't I come up with these simple titles until after?

Mm mm, I'm lovin' this one Haha you did a great job on this. I think you did great with the blood, and it's is a nice touch, especially for Halloween. Has a kinda sense of foreboding...like I'm wondering what's gonna happen next!

Basil4Life In reply to ALS123 [2011-10-29 01:08:17 +0000 UTC]

Haha, too smexy for words, huh? Yeah, he's supposed to be Angel when he went bad, which is why he has blood on the corner of his mouth. I haven't really thought about that, it does come off like that, doesn't it? Thanks so much!
