Description The second part of a two-part commission. This is one is for ~miserythedrow and is another character migrating from .hack//sign to D&D. The character is know as Exile and he’s an occult slayer / mage slayer and that bad ass blade of his can inflict acid damage to yo bitch ass! Joseph will be adding some stories to his DA account in the near future that include Exile, so if you’d like to find out more about this character give him a dev-watch and show him some love.

Here’s a juicy little tidbit that he’s already got posted: Introducing Exile - Read and enjoy!

I also feel it pertinent to mention that I was given a screen cap from a computer game as reference for the character design. As everyone who watches me knows, my gallery is pretty devoid of colors. Black, brown and various shades of grey are my dominant colors. So this one was tough for me. I actually hated the picture at first, but after adding the backdrop and the glow to the sword, I started liking it a lot more. And now, I’m quite happy with it and so is Mr. Steele and that’s really all that matters. So ner!

Shrinking it cost me a lot of details, but I hate it when people post pics with MASSIVE file sizes so I’m not gonna do it myself. D’ah well.

Character © ~miserythedrow / Joseph Steele
Art © me, *DarrkestDrow

Please, no crits on commissioned pieces. Thanks.

Heh heh heh...a fan of big swords are ya? Me too! Ya familiar with Guts/Gatsu from Berserk? He's f**king awesome! The dude who commissioned me for this wanted a sword that was similar in size to Guts' sword or Cloud's from FF7/Advent Children. I usually suck at making weapons but this one turned out pretty cool for a change.

Thanks for the comment man!

*reads Saberhagen/DD convo*

So that's the reason for the Critique Discouraged thing with your submissions... Never quite caught on to that (not that I ever really stopped and read those posts tho'.)

Anyways, this has to be one of your bestest best very best jawdrop-with-saliva-all-over-the-place pieces I've seen to date (and yes I look at all of them, even tho' I don't leave a comment most of the time. ) I just wish Aldaar could look somewhat like this, with the shortened coat and bad-ass looking blade, just not that big of a sword since he's a swashbuckler and everything. Love that green and black look to him, to. ~miserythedrow sure has an awesome character there, and an awesomer pic to go with it!

*takes time to oogle Exile and his pertty green eyes, cool look and muscley tummy before reluctantly clicking away*

He -could- look that way if you described him that way...or something like that...I think. Just have him start with the crunches and I'll don my tailor's suit long enough to cut a few inches off his vest for him. Weee! Scissors are fun!

Everyone seems to like this one, it's gotten more attention than any of my other commissions. Probably because it's a Drow and any sane person knows how much Drow's rule.

Thanks for all the sweety comments Sigs!

Cool, just remember to either mention something to Assey or let me know via a dev-note too. I had hell with my last commission because the e-mails weren't getting through to me. I hate my e-mails!

Well, "critique discouraged" aside, this is extraordinarily good. It makes happy that I saw it and, at the same time, shameful that I'm so jaleous. Definitely favourite-worthy.

DarrkestDrow In reply to Saberhagen [2006-03-14 21:48:08 +0000 UTC]

Yea, sorry about the "critique discouraged" thing, but Wingus has a nasty habit of picking my commissions apart. And since the person paying for the piece already looked it over and approved of it I figure there's no need for other people to pick it apart, ya know?

Glad ya like it though, and thanks for the +fav and nice comments.

DarrkestDrow In reply to miserythedrow [2006-03-12 00:39:40 +0000 UTC]

Nah man, he sounded cool to me from the start. This line from his profile you sent me is what stuck in my mind most, "He's overly cocky, and yet it borders on actual confidence since he seems to be able to back up everything he lays on the table and claims he can do."

Those (to me) are the coolest kind of characters. I've got a few cocky bastards I RP as (both males and females) and they are my favorite characters. You just can't go wrong with those types!

I'm really trying to broaden myself up a bit. I was a lot more comfortable submitting my recent writings then I was the first one. Don't know why but things seemed to flow easier and weren't as forced, plus it leads me into writing about Misery. I soooo can't wait till April when I get my student money so I can have you draw both Myth and especially Misery. I love yerin's art work but I really love your cartoony style. Plus Misery looks a little short and squatty in that one pic in the legs, so I'm just excited to see your rendition. ^_^

I'm just psyched to (potentially) be getting another drow commission. I love drawing Drow and I've been slacking off from drawing them too much lately. No more! The Exile piece has rekindled my obsession and now, I MUST DRAW MORE!

Hey, and thanks for all the +favs too man. I have no idea if you're interested or not, but there's a Drow club here at DA, several writers are there already. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join, you don't even have to submit stuff there if you don't want to, but it's fun and you get points for it and they have contests regularly and stuff. It's also a good way to get yourself noticed and get more visitors to your own DA page because they'll list you in the members section. Both you and *Velrose would fit in nicely there.

Here's a link if you're interested - *Lolth-Scourge All you have to do to join is send the club a dev-note stating as such and then add them to your watch list. Even if you don't join, it's worth checking out. There's links to some great Drow art and artists there.

Hey, my spouse has a character named Damien too (horny human male who's dating a female satyr type of creature). Hmm, he also has a green character, a lizardman.

What kind of creature is yer bro's green furry? And yer Damien?

PoldalleLovesnare In reply to DarrkestDrow [2006-03-12 05:41:21 +0000 UTC]

lol! I like the name "Damien"....I seem to have a thing with male names that start with "D" o.O lol my brother has a lizardfolk character as well hehehe... Atok is a cat....ever heard of Furcadia? basically you can make lil furres on there of all sorts of colors and since my brother likes green so much (ever since we played Legend of Dragoon and he thought Albert was AWESOME ) he made his character green hehehe..... And Damien's a human...well eventually he'll be a vampire...pretty sure that's the plan hehehe.... he appears in a vampire story my "sisters" (two friends I consider sisters) and I are writing.... *SB-Gothic & ~DarkBlacknoid was Sb-Gothic/Stefy's idea originally lol... and it was funny...you'd laugh how I created Damien....Stefy wanted to explore her one character, Jasper's, sexuality and asked if I'd like to help so I created Damien lol....

DarrkestDrow In reply to PoldalleLovesnare [2006-03-13 20:41:41 +0000 UTC]

Yea, I know Furcadia. One of my art thieves resides there. *growls*



Oddly enough our Damien's mother is a half vamp and his older brother (one of my chars) is actively seeking to become a vamp. I'm still undecided if I'll let that happen or not though. Me and spouse are actually in the process of getting back into RPing the SL with these chars, so if I can ever get caught up I'll probably draw em at some point.

Sooo, ah, exploring his sexuality eh? Hehe, smut characters are fuuuuuun! So, you got any pics of yer Damien?

it'd be cool to seem em lol.... I do hope things go well with your RPing

lol yes'em ....I've attempted to draw him bunch of times but he is a butthead and proves to be difficult o.O but I have a portrait of him in my gallery and then I colored a pic of him and his vampire lover, Jasper, that Stefy did..."Easy,easy" AND as soon as I get my pics sent to me (since I don't have a scanner someone else has to scan em for me and email em *pout* ) I drew a picture of Damien & Jasper kissing lol and yeah...smut characters can be fun lol.... I actually weaseled my way back into having more of a hand in writing the vampy books with my friends through Damien....go me ey? make my way back in as the psycho-path's bedpartner!
