Description
OMG I DREW A GIRL AND SHE'S COLORED AND EVERYTHINGASDFGHJ!...Oh full view by the way, this one took me like, six or seven hours. o____e;
See I do a finished piece every now and then, I'm not all full of doodles and crap, just need inspiration and I think my muses are speaking to me again! X]
Okay so I started this thing at like... eleven or twelve last night and I just now finished it at 6:00am in the morning. Haha it's starting to get brighter outside.
Wondering who the strange girl Autticus is with here?
[link]
That should tell you enough in the description.
Yes Autticus once fell in love, his lover died and well he became all crazy and sadistic because he didn't know how else to handle the rage and heartbreak. o___o;
You notice those scars Ydonelle has? She was abused by her past lover. She ran away from him and Autticus found her, protected and cared for her then soon after they fell in love... then Ydonelle, being traumatized and suffering from paranoia killed herself because all the fear and stress was becoming too much for her to handle.
I feel like I repeated half or more of the story. D:
...Then again I'm half awake so I hardly know what I'm typing to begin with. :B
Hm... I had to use a reference photo because I'm a cheater and couple poses are beyond me.
Enjoy the not-sadistic-and-insane-yet AutticusxYdonelle fluff.
I'm going to bed and I'll probably be up sometime this afternoon.
Yay summer vacation. :D
OH yes, and the brushes came from a lot of different people but they're all from dA. Some of the stuff is in my favorites but I really need to get bed now so no links to stuff. ><

Truly amazing. It's so detailed and professional! The jewelry, the designs on the clothes... Incredible. I can't beleive it only took you six hours. This could be one of your best peices yet. o O

Heehee, thanks... though I'm really starting to hate Ydonelle's face. Her eyebrow is covered too much by her hair. I'm not too sure about her hand either. Oh well. D:

Aw, this is really sweet. They totally look like their in love here, with their expressions and the pose.
Autticus is one handsome fella.

One handsome fella who goes crazy, kills a bunch of people, tries to overthrow a king then DIES. 8D
...Blame Raos, he's the one who'll stab him in the end. I have it all planned out... though I'll never get around to writing things down. :B
Lovey pics are always such a nice thing to see no? :3

Your breaking my heart with all of these pictures. D:
The scars are done real good and those colors look nice together.

Hmm. Methinks Raos makes womens' clothing as well...he must be rich from clothing sales alone.
All that talk about man slaves made me rememember a conversation with my friend Lori this morning. We were talking about slaves (of the male variety) and she mentioned that on an airplane, a woman wearing a dog collar got off. Lori thought it was merely a fashion fettish, but immediately after disembarking she walked over to a man with a leash, got clipped, and away they went!
...not sure if it was a Ydonelle situation or something kinky, but either way that's a little bit odd...
........heheheheh....Autticus on a leash.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ydonelle killed herself before Raos was born methinks. :B
Because yeah, Autticus turned into an evil tyrant when Raos' father was still ruling.
Autticus on a leash? Oh dear... Who in the world would he be willing to wear it for, or would he even let someone lead him around on a leash in the first place?
lol bondage.
...Something tells me our cracker pact is wearing off.

I'm always eager for reinstallments...hey! Did you know we're both going to NWAAFA? (or, N-Waffa?) You could renew the cracker vow there!....if you wanted to...*sigh*...
You know I can hardly back out of the deal after devouring the artistic and delightsome crackers, but if you have more it would be a magnanimous gesture on your part *hinthint*.
You'd be surprised by the lengths some people go through to prove love or fealty- like keeping your crush in a littlle pen under the stairs...or stalking famous people...etc. o_O

Alright, I already thought the sketch was nice and cute but THIS is awesome *__*
gosh teh colors look nice and try drawing poor Autti a little more often when he,s not being teh crazy saddist he is.
At least you did draw him without death or blood in the image like you said you would xD
I don't know what to say D:
It's just so effin, cute I'm speechless x3

Let me get over this large brick wall in the middle of the road of life known as "depression" and then I'll be more than happy to talk.
I don't know, I just don't enjoy frequent interaction as much as I used to...

Omg! It's a girl!
Aww, they look so sweet :3
Very sad what happened in the end. Very sad indeed.

It's so puuuuuurteeeeeyyyy! ;3; Both of the designs are amasing and lush, and the entire thing is very romantic, sort of a hail back to the Golden Age of Autti's life.
The scars on her face are remarkably life-like. :< Poor thing.
The pose is well done, even though you said you used a ref. Everyone needs refs from time to time, yes? And I find it strange that my favorite part of the entire picture (other then Ydon's dress! *3*) is Autti's hand. XD I like his rings. And the sparkle on his brooch. XD It's like "ding"!
Overall very, very pretty. <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm surprised I was able to actually design a girl's dress. That's usually my weak point... then again it wouldn't have been much without those lace brushes I downloaded. owo;
Those scars were actually extremely easy to do. I got a brush set that was meant for cracks and stuff like that but when I used red with the brush on a character's skin it looked like a cut so I figured the brushes served two purposes. :3
I used them for Raos' cuts in the redone version of "Fool's Game" and it worked out pretty well.
They also make good scars apparently. :]
Yup yup, the golden age indeed. The better things got the worse they became in the end for him. D:
I guess because he's half elf that heartbreak hit him harder than it would if he were human or otherwise. Then again he reacted more in a mix of rage and regret rather than grief.
I could resist using my sparkle brushes again. They're so much fun! D8
I actually thought the rings turned out a little lopsided but I was too lazy to fix the line art. XP
Autti's hand was kind of hard to do for some reason. Even following a reference I was stumped. :B
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aw, I had a feeling it was a brush. D: It's still pretty, though!
I recognised them as the crack brush (mwaha, double meanings!) when I took a second look. :3 And yes, they do make good scars!
Elves can also act out in rage in the face of loss as well. Like if Raos left Lomiel (even though she'd probably just keel over because she's like that XP), there's a small chance she could just turn around and become a major tyrant. :] I see what you mean in the extremity of emotions for Autti. It's sort of the only curse that Elves have, other than their long lives, although that's a bit of a "the grass is greener" sort of thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The thought of Lomiel becoming a tyrant is scary. Raos you stick with her until she dies! ...And that means no dying for you either! D:< *shakes a threatening fist at Raos sitting on my bed reading a random book he found*
I honestly don't know why I keep making half and half characters like Ephi and Autti. I guess it's just interesting for them to have human qualities but at the same time they also carry qualities of another race which can mess them up and slow them down at times when they're just trying to be normal. XD
But yeah, I suppose Autticus may have suffered a lot of grief which might have come close to killing him but then he turned and become nothing but a big ol' ball of evil sadistic craziness.

Awww, the cute! D: They look like such a good couple and Ydonelle is so pretty! You did a really nice job with all the effects here, it was worth the time.

Thanks. X3

PA-TOI, AND THE PRETTY LADY!
/Shot.
xD I'm kidding, that's so kick ass! =] Ydonelle's such a pretty girl. x3 And Autti looks sooo cute in love. It's a shame she died. >: Makes me sad that my slave [Insider hur hur.] got hurt like that. D: Oh well, he'll live. She's so pretty though, I can't stop geekin' out about here. >w<; Oh well, awesome-ness though. LOVE the colors here, baby. ;D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm starting to wonder if Ydonelle's dress color was inspired by the pack of Orbit cinnamon gum that was sitting next to me while I worked. Oo
Eh, Autti likes teal and jade now so I guess their two colored went together nicely. C:
It's surprising that such a pretty girl was abused so badly before she found Autticus. There are some sick people in this world... and Autti becomes one of them. Ah, irony. D:
Wah, Autti's not your slave! Here, you can have Andanari. *shoves a confused Andanari suffering from a hangover at you* :D
Autti ish my speshul dood.

Aww, how cute. ;-; Ydonelle's pretty for a lady with a scarred face. I like her outfit, it's nifty~ And their hair looks really cool... I like the random, runaway strands.
Yay for character angst! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm... I think I remember that guy. He tried to bring his lover back and carried her skeleton around everywhere right? O____o
I don't think Autticus will ever plan on doing that... hopefully. owo;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. xD; They were so cute together when she was still alive~ but then she got shot and dieded.
Well... let's just hope he doesn't start ODing on morphine and performing operations on himself by replacing his broken bones with dead peoples bones or ripping open midgets while they're still alive.
...I wouldn't doubt if he'd do the last part.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The image that put into my head was terrifying.
I don't think I could see Autticus performing surgeries on himself... ripping midgets open, that I could see... but where the heck did that idea come from? O____o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD; In the manga at one point, Faust messes with Yoh's head and straps his friend Manta (who is a midget) onto a cross and begins to dissect him.
So basically, he made me think of Faust 'cause he went all crazy-like when his lover died.

I remember seeing something like that in the dubbed anime! ...Only he hasn't tearing him apart... or even touching him. Haha dubbed anime, haha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, 4Kids Mankin dub, how you make us laugh.
He actually didn't tear him open in the anime... he just poked around inside him. "Oh, let's see what Manta's made of. *pokepoke*"
...And I don't have the picture on hand. >_> (Though I doubt you want to see ripped-open Manta)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I doubt I would... o____o
Yeah, I noticed that all he did was poke in the dubbed version if he did anything at all. And I don't remember it being a cross the little midget was stuck to. O3o
I wouldn't be at all surprised if 4kids dubbed that too. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, he was stuck to a RECTANGLE!
...There were a lot of crosses in ManKin. And everything else that's dubbed out of anime... hehe. >_>;

Omg. Autti was in looove. ;3; That's so sweet.
This is prettyful picture. I like how you did the clothes and hair. Very detailed. :3

I love details but they kill my brain.
...unless I use brushes like I did here. D:
Yus, Autti was in love but now that she's dead he doesn't plan on falling in love ever again. He's too full of hate and rage now. ;3;

That's so sad. D;
