Im only happy when it rains
Im only happy when its complicated
And though I know you cant appreciate it
Im only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
And why it feels so good to feel so sad
Im only happy when it rains...
-- Garbage "I'm Only Happy When it Rains"
It's new character time. She doesn't have a name yet (suggestions are open of course) Here name is Khloe Meretseger (or just Khloe), and like Dr. Ryan and Morpheus, she is a Metafluke; a foil to the Neo-Children, and much like her "brothers", she suffers from some psychosis. She also has a bit of an Inferiority Complex as well as some Borderline-Personality Disorder.
She wields a cane-like weapon that can come apart (similar to Ivy from Soul Calibur's "Snake Sword"), which she can control via telekinesis. In battle she wraps the cane around opponents (usually about the neck) and drains their energy through the weapon into herself. She also possesses fangs and a venomous bite as well as the ability to manipulate the snake "Tattoo" around her arm.
I worked on this damned thing for nearly a week. I know the lighting is probably inconsistent and the anatomy is off in places, but really...I'm just glad to have this damned thing finished.
And no she did not come in from the rain unless she possesses plastic-covered couch powers.

Edit: Here name is "Khloe Meretseger." Thanks for all the name suggestions.

Thank you so much. I had a lot of fun with the manipulating parts.
And yeah I do like Garbage. Garbage was part of growing up and even at almost 30, I can STILL relate to that song.

almost 30?....likes me...
u 've worked with images refs for tombs?there are beautyfull and fit with perfection to your pic!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lolz. I'm glad I'm not the only one actually...especially with so many young'uns on this site.
Well, I manipulated the tombs in this pic, but I have drawn them before. I do love hand-drawing graveyards, but it can be tedious. The last graveyard I drew was back in...2008.

Wow this is just beautiful! Lovely work. So much detail and she looks so real!
name: something snakey?

Thank you!

Yeah, I can see that. I used Manasadevi Naga for Sailor Ophiuchus for it be snakes but Naga is a bit too obvious. lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I know what you mean. I didn't want a full-on pun. At least with Morpheus his real name isn't a pun (Joseph Cairo), but it is a Peter Lorre reference.

I see what you mean. But with Sailor Moon names I had to! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I did the same thing. SailorDeadite = Ange De La Morte for example.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol Yeah, I have a whole list of why for mine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just normally put the name meaning next to the 'Real Name' slot on the profile Adala Feuerhertz ("Noble Fireheart").

Yeah, I try to do that now too.

This is very pretty, I especially like her bodice, and her green nails X3.

Thank you. I really like her bodice myself. It looks nice with the pants.

Indeed, and your welcome lovies ^^

oooh a Jade snake laydee, fun texture on the orset and I dooo like the dark green, the shinyness of her lips and the subtle eye markings are fun touhes...
... when will we be meeting her then, shes scary O.<;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was a bit scared the green might make people think of Absinthe (my OC not the drink of course), but I'm glad it paid off in the end thanks.
I'm think she might be traveling with Rizo (since Envy and Wrath are a bad combination). So...when Alexi gets a bit down the list. I'm thinking Alexi will be tracking down Felicity (Lust) next. I might send Alexi to Dieter for a mind-fuck too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like her allot and I don't think she is much like Absinthe.
eeek not Lust...poor Alexi XD ah and Dieter too... lets see how upset we can get him XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm glad she doesn't look like Absy. I was a little worried about that.
Yeah, hence why Alexi might wanna take a friend along with him to hold Felicity at bay. Joshua would probably be the best bet since she loves beef.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hee hee poor Joshua Alexi will throw him in there like a sausage on a string and ... uh... get Josh in ALLOT of trouble with his fiance I imagine... he's a bad bad boy and very weak willed when it comes to flirtation XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lolz. I'll bet. But hey if Alexi doesn't want a blue lady all over him then he'll drag Joshua to the Dead Lands for sure. Felicity is currently working there as a showgirl.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
uuurrrghh you mean Alexi might have to look at girl meat eeewwww >.<;;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah pretty much. At least they'll be pasties and thongs to cover most of it though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH... he wont know where to look XD
I can see this being a case of Joshua doing all the talking and Alexi going ...... ah..... I see you are a female.....ah...... very good..... excuse me *DIES*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh man that would be good. All Alexi had to do is find the chick with the powder blue hair who refuses to wear shoes while performing.
Man, I got this idea involving poor Gwendel where he gets ready to go to the kitchen one morning and overhears Arkadi and Versace (with Monique listening in while having breakfast) having a conversation about enlightenment through sex.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^.^;;; mmmmmhh not that Alexi likes the colour blue and bare feetsys not at all XD
pfft! very easily done, you understand he can be talked into almost anything if you talk to him the right wway right.... guy is totally naive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, he doesn't like boobies, and Felicity is supposed to have some big enough to rival Monique's...poor Alexi, he might wind up getting a lapdance he doesn't want, but he hs to be a good boy so that he can get her on Hell's side.
I thought so. It might be funny for him to overhear this though. I can see :
Versace: "Yeah, Min-Min says I've made her see God."
Arkadi: "I shall have to ask her next time I see her."
Versace: "DON'T YOU DARE, ARKADI!"
Monique: *nearly chokes on her eggs laughing*
All the while Gwendel's standing there pondering the convo.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can see him looking murderouse with this derranged grin whilst panic sweat drip's down his face and he tries to keep composed enough to be polight XD
He would burst in the doorway and demand Versace show him this way in which he saw god! *total straight face staaaaare*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's EXACTLY what I saw...or just being paralyzed with fear. Alexi had to remember she's from the same stock as Ryan and could turn on him at the drop of a...pasty! 
Oh god, and then Monique and Arkadi would nearly die laughing while Shyam (who walked in) wants to know what's so funny.
Versace then remains calm and tells Gwendel to go ask Lucifuge.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well Alexi doesn't want to piss off anymore women that is for certian.
and he wants to be friends with all the sins.... just he's not the most charming of individuals.
AH HAH HAH HAH HAAAAAA Joshua's negotiation training involves a truncheon XD
pfft Gwindle on his knees, please Lucifuge you must give me the heavenly experience of which your son has spoken of! he says you are greatly skilled it such procedures!
...I really should get on with my RP reply and stop faffing about ^.^;; I have to go out soon
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, maybe she'll realize Alexi's related to Gula by marriage and will ease off. The other Sins are the only things Felicity won't have sex with since she views them as siblings...and Gula and Accedia were her two best friends in her previous life too.
Hahahaha! And applied exactly how, might I ask? Would it be in a way that she would wiggle around and make happy noises while Alexi looks like he wants to barf?
Oh god *pun not intended* That would be funny indeed, and Lucifuge being so tempted to taking him to bed too. Now I wanna draw Lucifuge/Gwendel porn for the fun of it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sure Alexi can handle himself XD
possiblly O.O;;; like I said Josh is going to get himself in trouble if he's not carefull.
it would be very VERY awkward... he probably wouldn't understand what was going on untill it was too late, and he's a virgin so you will hurt his narrow little behind ow ow ow OoO; *tears off the head of the bed* whoops
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but still, Lust is the next least dangerous of the group and the only other Sin who works alone since Envy and Wrath travel together and Pride and Greed travel together (And Pride's actually recovered all of her past memories). >.>;
Felicity can't help herself. She's a nyphomaniac. >.>;
I know it would, which makes it even more lulzy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
as far as Alexi is concerned she's the most dangerouse T.T
oooh they sound fun ^.^;;;;
Joshua can't help himself...he's a slut... he thinks he's grown up and doesn't want anyone but Arkadi... but his head can turn so easily, of course all Arkadi needs to do is click his fingers and Josh would come runniing back no matter what he was doing XD
good luck pouting with that clamped on your man meat O.O;;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah...you have a good point there. Technically speaking though, Rizo (Wrath) and Van Gloria (Pride) are the most dangerous though. >.>;
Oh god I just got this image of Joshua sexing a lady and Arkadi going *ahem* and Joshua leaves the poor woman 'hanging'.
Oh yeah.Remember, kids! Gwendel likes tight, dark spaces!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah will they blow Alexi up geeewd ^.^;; I can see him wandering back to Mephi with no arms or something and being all....ah...I found the Sins...we are great friends *faints*
yup thats pretty much what would happen "I'm all yours My sweet Honey" *clings to Arkadi, girl 100% forgotten*
YUSH HE DOES! ^o^ i thought you might like that XD he needs some more lines like that XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awww, poor poor Alexi. Energy drained, hammer-whipped, ripped apart from chains, sliced and diced by a fast-moving sword, a scar on his belly...and lost his man-flower AGAIN. ^.^; I think Sloth is the only one who hasn't injured him in some way. ^.^;
And girl is very very angry.
Man, if Arkadi or the Twins had ONLY been there for that line. They would NEVER let him live that down.
At least Gwendel and Gotzon will have somethings in common, both being virgins who don't know about affections. ^.^;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lets see what permanent accesories he can pick up this time ^.^ allthough it's not advised to chop him up to much he will have to go see BEO very VERY Quickly! XD
Josh doesn't care only Arkadi is important XD
XD I'm sure he has plenty more out of context lines they WILL over hear XD
um yay? ^.^;;... they can stand in the kitchen together at house partys and look confused XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh god yes he will...and then BEO will wanna tend to his husband's boo-boos first before he can 'see' him.
Of course only Arkadi is important...of course Shyam will beg to differ since HE'S THE BABY!
I hope Gwendel does, maybe he'll confess of love of tight, dark places to the Twins again at some point. 
Oh god they can!
So...any name suggestions for Envy here> >.>;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no! no time! SEX NOW! *raped*
you now money bags are an ancient symbol for testicles in carvings XD
well eveeeryone knows Shyam is the most important person in the world....well he does at least.
he can dig his own holes without it XD
XD the two are a right pair of kill joys XD
name...mmmrrr Jade? Peridot? tourmaline? for colours of stones or Renenutet, Meretseger and wadjet are all egytian snakey goddess types... and then more names for green would be Verde, or Chloe ... or Midori like the green melon booze. dunno ^.^;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh god I did NOT know that about the money bags. Now that is pretty damned funny.
Shyam is the Sun, the Universe revolves around him...he really is like his mommy The Comte in that department, isn't he.
You mean the three of them. Monique gets in on this too despite never having sex ever ever ever unless you count making out with Noctem.
Open your mouth and insert your foot, Gwendel!
Hmmm...I like the name Chloe. I might use that one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YUP fun fun fun XD great HUGE pendulouse money bags XD
it's only going to get worse as he gets older
Monique is as good as married and knocked up... the other two are rather more confused and wet and wouldn't now what to do with an erection with both hands and a book of karma sutra.... but that is a very funny image of them trying to work it out O.<;;
chloe is good... means something like "big ole strip of green land" in latin I think or greek or something O.<;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Man, good thing Beluxi will be around to literally put him in his place. She's going to be so mean to men when she grows up...except Morpheus, because for all Alexi could know, he just brought home his future son-in-law.
yeah she is, isn't she. If it wasn't for the Comte's comments at the wedding she would probably be bearing grandchildren by now too. >.>;
And damn that is a funny image indeed. Hopefully they wouldn't be doing that with one another thankfully. BEO taught Arkadi everything he knows about sex. >.>;
Well it works. It's alludes to her greenness without being obvious.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
PPFT! Beluxi and Morpheus!!! that would be toooo funny ^o^ and impossibly cute too. hee ^.^
tee hee nothing like a filthy slut to ruin you pre-marital deep dickin XD
evem if they were they wouldn't get very far I imagine O.o;;
BEO is a terrible slut XD
greenety green greeen
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was thinking the same thing, but they've got a good 15 years at least before Beluxi decided to seduce him.
oh god...that sounds so wrong it was right.
Well, they got close one. Too bad that meddling Akiko was between them.
I know, and the worst part is Alexi encourages it. Alexi is such a masochist because he KNOWS BEOs going to drag him into it. ^.^;
Hotaru's going green! OH NOES!!! OoO;;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aawww but it's cute ... their relationship shifts as she sprouts bewbs and desires and neeeeeds ... leaving Shyam way behind because he's still just a baby and doesn't get it XD boys her age arnt mature enough, she wants an experienced man!
hee hee hee ^o^
bleck akiko chiggers
don't be silly he's 100% innocent
oh noes
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That and Shyam managed to out-fag Arkadi.
Akiko Chiggers sounds like an STD. Should Arkado get tested? O.O;;;
Alexi is about an innocent as...Jeffrey Dahmer!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
pfft sorry imagining Shyam mincing around in impossibly tight pants O.O;;
I'm not sure what Alexi will think.... better Morpheus than SOME choices she could make I suppose ^.^;;
...I dunno if him falling to sleep would stop Beluxi ^.^;; she might rather like it, since he would be more corpse like that way XD
IT IS AND STD
eh heh isn't he cute.
