Description
Little bit of an emotional peice, little bit of a symbolic peice, little bit of a song peice
Everything was drawn eyeless/eyes in complete shadow on purpose, it should be obvious but I'll leave the guessing up to you all. More fun that way I s'pose.
"Sometimes you just need to sink your claws in and start hacking. Sometimes they come too thick. That's when you climb..and hit harder."
Speedpaint. Something like ten hours between midnight last night and midnight this night, photoshop cs2.

The blade is quite ornate, but does little compared to the impressive and wholly unique looking physique of the being fighting the bondage of those appendages. The entire mood itself is really beautiful and seamless. The pupil-less eyes seem to be something the being has given over to that which constricts him/her..but thats just my thought.

This is wonderful! I love the character
The quote goes well with the drawing, though there could have been more anger and force depicted. It's very hard, though.

Yeah, the sketch preserved the emotion a lot better than did the final painting

Looking at the title I just suddenly realised that if you take the 's' out of slaughter you get 'laughter'.....hmmmm....

I love how the character's eyes are blacked out. It's sort of like he or she(?) is so into the moment that she's lost in her own void of rage and violence.

Neither does divine-error (he's a man. Men automatically get -100 points to sex appeal), but he has about 150,000 - 300,000.

um... wow hun... this is abso-friggen-lutely gorgeous. I can't get over the detail on his head, and the fact that you got the horns on both sides done without the far one looking clumsy or out of place. Just wow.

lol ! Man, I cant TELL you how many times I've had to redraw antlers on various peices. I mean, aside from the fact that they are there because I couldent draw 'em. This time it just kinda..came out though. The sketch was like..no effort whatsoever- just flew. It was great

*laughs* there are quite a few pieces I've never finished because I just *can't* get the horns right on them. I need to build models of every type of horn I draw *laughs* Muah, but that piece is still just wonderful.

What an amazing, emotional piece. I love the contrasts between bright Pyre and the darkened, shadowy world below.

Thank you. That contrast is very, very important to her background. Glad I finally got it through
