Description
Another piece to go onto my Anime collage. I'm really proud of how this turned out. I've wanted to draw these about a year ago, cos they're so... amazing. But until a few days ago, i was too scared to watch it, becuase of the... violence, and death and blood and gore.You know, little things
So yeah, I'm really glad with how this turned out. Hope you like.

I love it! I think that, even if someone doesn't want to watch the whole series, they should at least watch the last episode. It was epic.

Hehe thank you so much ^-^ I was really lucky, in that mum gave me an old water colour set that she used to use, and in it was the perfect pink for their hair colour ^-^ And i'm glad you like it, i must admit mariko is my favourite out of this piece too 
Thanks for commenting

This is wonderful. I especially love Mariko. She looks so innocent ^^

Doesn't she look all cute and sweet and innocent... i think she is, really. Okay, she's a bit psycho, but hey, wouldn't anyone who had been locked up in a confined space all their life without any interaction or love? I know i would... (sorry, i tend to deconstruct characters too much 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel sorry for her. I think you feel more sorry for her in the manga than the anime - that's how I felt. She only wanted to be loved by her daddy 
Nooo I think deconstructing characters is a good thing ^^

See, i'm the opposite. I feel more for her in the anime than in the manga. In the manga she just tricked someone ( i can't remember who it was) into believing she was being nice to get the code for the bomb, then kills him, and she just gets sick to a point where i lost any sympathy with her, yet in the anime i still cry when she's just looking at him, crying about how she always, always imagined that he and her mother would come and call her out. IDK i guess i just generally prefer the story telling of the anime ^-^

Sorry, i don't mean to utterly bash the manga, it just really wasn't for me

Do you mean you don't like the character, or my drawing of her? haha, just curious?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
she in the anime. Your drawing is cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh i'm glad haha, i was worried
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
don't worry, be happy xD
Mariko isn't cool, but Lucy and Nana are the best characters ^^

I kinda like Mariko, even if she is nasty. It's only because of human mistreatment that she's how she it 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do not like Mariko, because she was cruel for Nana.
And nana suffered so much...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True, but then so has she. I know what it's like to want to know about your father, so i kinda have a connection with her, plus i can kinda imagine the hurt of finding out that that father has a daughter that he loves more than he could love me
Sorry, i'm ill at the moment, and i start studying characters and myself when i'll not well, and that was a prime example of such haha. I'm not having a rant at you or anything, though i know how text can add or take away intonations and make things sound angry or anything. Just, as i said, me over thinkng things ^-^

Haha, I'm studing too. I'm drawing manga only some months, well my drawings isn't very good. But I love drawing characters from anime and manga.
I know. In Elfen Lied is sad story. It's anime is very poignant. But the story is very authentic. Life is hard and brutal. Unfortunately.
But I like drawing sad pictures ^^

I really like drawing characters from anime, as i find it easier to get it right like that. I find that the images are easier to draw, as they have the outline for me to follow
I agree. The story is ssad, but in a weird way very real. The stories reflect real problems in society that people face, though in a much more bloody way. Abandonment, racial hatred, paedophilia, animal testing, these are all things that have happened in the past and even today, and Elfen Lied only shows what it's like. Luckily the characters in it have a way of making those people pay, at least.
I know what you mean. I write poetry and prose, and i always end up writing about depression, death, pain, destruction... all things that i didn't even know existed in my mind, and then they erupt on the page. It's slightly scary... haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
. I write poetry too. About death, god, suffering...I do not know why, but I write about it, always. Something is in it. That something is true. Because the world is full of suffering. In Elfen Lied life is sad too. You can see that people are cruel...

I find it easier to write about the crap in the world than the happiness. I'm a really happy hyper person most of the time, but i find it so much easier to write when i'm sad, or depressed, or about depressing subjects. We try and forget the bad stuff, but it's so hard to actually ever escape it for long. The world is cruel, and if you don't make your own happiness, it will eat you alive. Enjoy the good times, but always brace yourself for the bad.
This illness is making me look way too deeply at myself... :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, I too write when I'm sad. so it is easier, I can not write about happiness. I do not know why. Maybe it's because happiness is so short and the sadness lasts a long time.
When I want to write something cheerful usually goes artificially. And when I'm sad I write from the heart. Such poems are true.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean about artificial happiness. It always ends up being forced and fake, and down right boring. Sadness can stay with you for a life time, but happiness can be oh so brief. Everyone can relate to sad pieces of work, but often happiness is kind of hard to relate too since, especially in writing, something bad is always looming to take away that happiness, and if it isn't then you get bored. It's hollow. Happiness doesn't last ever after, you have to find it for yourself every day. Keep the sad bits burried, but be aware that they're never really gone, and then you can be happy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand. You are right. When I write about happiness, I think that these words are not from the heart. And when I write about sadness everything seems to be true.
Happiness is short, because when you are happy that the time passes very quickly. By contrast, when you are sad everything is slow ..

Wow this is such a deep conversation, for something that started over differences in opinion on a character haha

I dunno, i prefer the anime of Elfin lied. I didn't like what happened to lucy/nyu. Ususally i will read the manga over the anime of something, but i just went for it. Also, i don't like the manga's style
