Description
A couple of days ago, I came across this --> [link] on the front page, which led me to discover the wonderfully faily vampire-artist of *vert-is-ninja 's online comic, 'Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name.' Conrad Achenleck (his last name always reminds me of the sound of someone taking the safety off a pistol) absolutely possesses every quality that normally attracts me to a character--namely transformation and plenty of angst--so of course I dreamed up a comic on the spot. Then, however, I stopped for a moment, and said to myself: "Self--you know that the odds of you ever actually doing such a comic are zero out of one hundred. Instead, you should draw only one of its panels, one that is accessible to someone who does not know anything about this story in your head."So here is Conrad at the end of my little tale, finishing a fresh dinner that someone has very thoughtfully provided. Aw, Conrad. You're so faily we can hardly even see your fangs, but you look all cute and peaceful now that you've eaten. 'Course, it's important to lick the bowl clean...
I used the methods *vert-is-ninja details in her tutorial to do this piece. There are a few flaws, but I think I emulated the style okay. And wow, the backgrounds are so quick and easy in comparison to how I normally do backgrounds that there should be a law against it; that's how easy they are.
It was a really welcome change to draw in such a cartoony style for once
I don't really need to mature this for blood, do I? ....If you're offended, it's totally tomato soup, 'kay? Totally.

Oh my God yes. The fact that you drew this after I've been obsessing over this comic for so long fills me with GLEE. XD
You emulated Tessa's style very well, and poor Conrad looks so weirdly at peace even if he's awkward about the whole situation. Poor Connie, you are truly the worst vampire ever. Except for Edward.

Glad to be of service XD
Euphoric post-feeding vampire calm I <3 you~ He waited a loooong time for that meal too.
I always wondered about the other vampires in the Twilight series though. Are they better somehow? I mean, I hear the Volturi are actually kind of decent. Is this true?

Meh, the Volturi are alright. Alice is the best character in my opinion and Carlisle is alright. ...Actually, yeah, every vampire but Edward in that series is actually okay-ish. Just pretend the book is about them and not Edward and Bella and Jacob. >_>

Intruding into the conversation just to say that the VOLTURI OWN MY SOUL. They're pretty awesome.

Everyone is always like "Lol, what a silly and difficult last name." And I am like, "NO DUDE IT IS BADASS."
It made me smile that you read the artist's comments.
But I hardly ever get to produce amazing art because I'm usually so busy Give me some small favorssss~

So guns go "Ackenleck" when you turn off the safety? That's a new one on me. Of course, my gun has a lever instead of a safety thing, because it's one of those non-lethal pellet ones, so...yeah. Mine turns off very silently as you hold the lever down with your thumb right before you start shooting, then *pop pop pop pop pop*. Someone's in pain, wondering where the neon orange pellets of DOOM came from.

Hahah, well, if the movies don't lie (which...yeah), they kind of go "clickety-click" and it reminds me of how that name sounds.

It does a bit, now that I think about it. If you kinda say it all sarcastic and stuff, it's like "Mis-ter Ack-en-luck".

I like fail vampires. but only the cute ones. Edward is just a fail all together, but denies it and sparkles instead. At least this guy is in acceptance. Also, love the tie/belt.

Caretaker-of-Myth In reply to Trust-the-Owls [2010-05-02 07:38:14 +0000 UTC]
Edward is fail, but he is even worse fail because he pretends he is so awesome. And it's just not true.
Fortunately sparkling is even more gay than having fashion sense, like Conrad.

Actually, I remember coming across it before. I read the second chapter, and thought that the artistry, particularly the experimental paneling and text, was exquisite. But the story, or at least the characters, didn't particularly grab me, I guess. I usually need to really love a character in order to really get into a fandom. For some reason, I missed Chapter One the first time around. But now I've read Chapter One, and it gave me the character I needed.
