Description
last flight......last hope...
...last memory.
a quick CG of Halsé remembering the last thing that killed it. (was trying to practice some color theory)
the story behind this pic (as if anyone cares really)
is that Halsé was once an ordinary new zealand short tailed bat who hailed from the last few years of WWII. it was owned by some dude from england who got it as a present from their new zealand relative. that dude was unfortunate enough to be one of the victims of the Blitz . it died trying to save its owner by delivering a message from them by wing (while sustaining fatal injuries from the incident) telling the rescuers that he was still alive and where he was buried.
the night that halsé died, felice lé strange visited it to claim its body to be used as a "costume" (material felice sews into herself to transform) felice made a deal with halsé that in exchange for halsé's body, felice will give it a chance to talk to its owner for the last time. halsé used this chance to tell its owner to man up, forget them (halsé) and move on with life; that that is what it wanted when it sacrificed itself - to give it a second chance.
the next morning after the supposed "visit", halsé's owner woke up to see that its grave was dug up.
tl;dr generic "this is what my dog did" story.
halsé may just be felice with bat bits sewn on, but sometimes, the bat bits remember their past....and sometimes, they seem conscious too.

This work has a feel of the stationery that I usually collect. I like soft colors...More of this, please...
But please don't degrade the origin stories next time...it gives me eye strain just reading this. Don't you know that all the more people will ignore it?

Actually, it was your colors that got me into your page in the first place!
AAaarrghhh, Abi. Then let it be "stupid". I'd rather have "stupid" than lame...

really? "EEEW RAINBOW PUKE +watch"
(nah im joking xD although i do need to learn how colors interact with each other in many other ways other than celshading ohoho)
What's the difference? :0 other than lame being a derogatory term for "crippled" that is

thats what "lame" means. random note: did you know "dumb" didn't used to mean stupit, t meant "someone who cant talk" (kagaya ng mga pipi, mga hayup, mga hayup na pipi na puro finger lang ang alam na sign language BUSIT)

not really. Halsé's a jerk, is 3/4ths ink, noisy and shits rainbow-colored poo that, despite their colorfulness, still reeks. >__<

Welllll he's still cute! So Meh!
I always find it funny you seem to point out all the undesireable traits of a character, but it still won't make me dislike them! XD
I think it's epics 83 Looks really cool!
And self-crit is good sometimes, but I think the pic is great as is!

Halsé: *blinks at being hugged* ...what the suck?-
don't worry.... i can't figure out how to type that damn e with the stick thing over it either...apparently there's two of them, with the stick things facing the other way. i wonder how the other one's pronounced?
you really shouldn't anyway xD see that black stuff? it's actually made of deliciously poisonous black ink! 8D

Very nice. I love the softness of the image and you can really see the emotion in it with just a glance~
I really like the story behind them... I for one wouldn't mind learning more about them... that is if you have any plans on posting more of their story, lol~

Jintetsu In reply to Reetno [2010-02-15 12:35:46 +0000 UTC]
really? thank you so much ^^ i have trouble reading what the emotion is here...wistful? regretful?...the colors say sad, but the softness says wistful....AAAGH!!
yay! i'm glad you like their story ^^ reason i didn't want to place too much importance on it in my description is because it lacked research....HOW on earth can one give someone an endangered species as a gift pet without clashing with the law? especially with quarantine stuff?...did it even exist in the 1940s? and why is the "bat" white and not so bat-like?....etcetc
tl;dr it's full of plotholes....need research xD but it should be give one a good idea of what halsé's past was like...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Reetno In reply to Jintetsu [2010-02-16 02:37:31 +0000 UTC]
Well wistful seems about right to me... but I'm bad with emotions as well, lol...
Well I think in the 1940's they wouldn't have really cared about endangered animals... after all some used animals as kamikazes; dogs, birds and even bats so I've heard.
Though it is always good to research things other then just going off of either stuff you've heard or read in what could be inaccurate books, lol...
But trust me... you seem to have something good there... my character's backgrounds are so full of holes that they tend to fall into them and die, lol...
