I actually finished this awhile back, but I wanted to post some other images first before I decided to upload this. Also, I used a photo referenace while drawing this, but I can't remember who took the picture in question. It was someone here on DA though.

Anyway, I felt that, since I've begun roleplaying him (Yes, he's a he) more often, I needed to upload a new image of my character Arkadi, Hell's 'Angel Of Death' if you will as well as one of Lucifuge Rofocale's children. He also got a few...tweaks to his design a bit (mostly his eyes). Don't worry. He still wears his...leather outift, it's just under his suit now.

DA took way too long to load this piece.

I don't know if it's the expression, the composition, or the colours I love most about this one. Either way - this is one of my new favs.

I'm sorry others didn't like it as much as I did. There is just something very captivating about it for me.

heh, I like the hand position ... allthough he looks a bit like a dodgy street magician and I expect cards to shoot out his sleeve and dove's and bunny's to escape his suit at any moment O.O eeeek .... Moi? suggest Arkadi looks shifty? NEVAH XD XD XD
mwah hah... that or he is about to remove his hat, pull out several meters of silken rope and perform some extreame kinky bondage ^.^ .... what? I can hope XD
I like the lips here bestest, smilely and slightly open Jazz approves... and you know I lurve teh suit ^.^

HotaruThodt In reply to IvoryFool [2008-07-29 12:22:16 +0000 UTC]

Maybe he's going to summon Vorpal Bunnies from both hands and hat, and don't give him any ideas regarding silken rope. Although I could see Anatole having little fantasies about that, hmm?
Arkadi's lips are my favourite part of the pic. They were so fun to colour in.

HotaruThodt In reply to IvoryFool [2008-07-30 04:45:32 +0000 UTC]

Well, I have an old picture of Arkadi swining a full-sized Vorpl Blade, but it's at least a year old. I might post it anyway. I've been thinking of posting a few old pieces.
Heh. I need to get that Arkadi/Anatole porn I drew awhile back scanned and at least colour the upper half of it for DA viewing.

HotaruThodt In reply to IvoryFool [2008-07-30 06:23:11 +0000 UTC]

Heehee. Well,while the 'Vorpal Vorpal' almost looks like Arkadi's batting around a large black and purple shark, the 'Vorpal Daggers' are small and the blade curves a bit...like a falchion (sp?), but smaller.

Ooh! Arkadi won't mind of she beats them all away. I think he might revel in it a bit...of course he would not want her to tell of his...bedside manner. >.>;

I'm gonna try and get Akiko, Arkadi, BEO, and Alexi scanned Friday. I've also drawn a pic of DQ and Akiko for you.

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyHellFyre [2008-07-29 04:10:04 +0000 UTC]

Heehee. Actually. That's not lipstick. Rofocales actually have a natural dark lip colour. Arkadi, being albinistic, has red lips.

And Ryan and BEO don't wear lipstick.

I really need to design some character sheets. XD

And i have no idea what any of that means...but i know African Americans and the like have dark skin, and even darker lips...and they don't look like trannies...naturally, anyway. xD

Well...they all look very feminine, and one can hardly find the differences. I think you should make a meaty character, that looks AND ACTS like a dude. lol

HotaruThodt In reply to LadyHellFyre [2008-07-30 06:11:40 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm...point taken. Talwar is supposed to e a bit meaty, but he still winds up a bit too thin. His brother Rafe doesn't look so bad though: [link] I'm still debating on mutilating Rafe's face under the scarf.

It's because he's a goat thing. His nails match his hooves. It's brutal like that. XP

I think it would look great with some Devonti-like black horns.

HotaruThodt In reply to pinkaphrodite [2008-07-30 04:43:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, and I'd thought about adding horns to Arkadi when I first designed him, but since he's an angel/demon hybrid, I was scared it would take away from his 'angelic' attributes.

That must be driving you a little crazy.
Why is it you and never find something you need or want when you need it. Watch you will find the reference pic a few months from now. That's seems to be how it always works.

Not really. I mean I'll find the pic in question against. I just gotta wade through my DA search...after I remember what I typed in for the photo.
