Description
"Even if I struggle you will only pull me even tighterEven when I try to suppress you by wearing a thin smile
You will only leer and snicker at my attempts
I can't let you out
I can't let myself allow you to
Turn me
Into the demon
I really am."
Art trade with my lovely GhostPriest
I wanted to try and capture Gabriel' s characteristics and how he's connected to his demon self in the Ghost World and since he was born in the Baroque era of France I decided to make him a part of a modern, black and white take on the Baroque style which is affiliated with contrast and landscapes.
Since the realm between our world and theirs isn't something visible to the naked eye, it made sense to make this into an abstract representation of life and death.
Thank you so so so much for agreeing to doing this art trade with me because it gave me more than just a beautiful picture of my Kenichi, but it also led into a friendship I could only dream of.
I'm sorry that this took 6 months of waiting and I really hope that the end product pleases you, even just a little bit ;; v ;;
I hope you enjoyed this!

Ahh it's an inversion of life and death, more of a contrast really, how if you turn the photo 180 degrees you would get a different feel than you would get from seeing it from the original orientation O v O

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, why does it even have a mature filter?
Oh my god ...
Seriously, oh god, I'm just so surprised now that it's suddenly done and here and ahh .... OTL
My heart is racing, oh my, I'm so excited, I can't even say something, I-I need a moment to ... oh my~
IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!
Look at all the subtle details, the fine lines, the gorgeous style!
The whole meaning behind it is just absolutely perfect for Gabriel's background story, the symbolism of ghost Gabriel pulling the rope to strangle human Gabriel .... Ahhhhhh, it's just perfect, simply perfect!
I especially LOVE human Gabriel here, just the way you show him with this indifferent expression like he doesn't even care that he's going to die, yet he still holds onto the bible (I guess)!
The whole atmosphere is just so peaceful, yet really tragic and melancholic! I LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE it so so so so so much, ahhhhh!
And all the details around, the water, the trees, the rocks, the pieces of paper flying around ... It's just so wonderful ...
Also the fact that human Gabriel's side looks so alive, like blooming nature, and ghost Gabriel's side is so dull and bare, gorgeous symbolism again!
AND the gravestone! Besides the fact that it's a lovely gravestone, again, an amazing detail!
Please, if you have a bigger version of it, I'd love to see it as well, I wanna explore this drawing and see what else I can find 'cause AHHHH IT'S SO PERFECT!!!!
SPAM SPAM SPAM but I don't care, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, KURO, I'LL SHOW THIS TO EVERYONE NOW AND MAKE THEM JEALOUS, UHUHUHUHUHU!

Ahhh because there's the implication of suicide??? I thought just to be on the safe side... It should be mild violence though really XD
I'm happy I caught you by surprise, really, it's the best feeling especially when you give such a wonderful reaction and have your heart racing and all of that
Ahhh I hope you really like it ahuhuhuhu
<3333 Thank you for noticing all of those small and tiny details ahhh it always reminds me of when you said it reminded you of an awesome artist's style though mine is just so messy and theirs was so pretty and neat ;;; v ;;;
And you are analysing so much ahhhh that really is so so so awesome of you to do so ahhh so sweet indeed ;;;; v ;;;;; <3333
It's because you told me so much about him, it's only my duty to do my best to represent him to the best of my ability hehe
And yes it's the bible ahahahahah like he thinks it'll still be able to save him but then since his hands are hovering on top in a way, he's afraid that he isn't worthy enough to touch it as well ;;;;;;;
Ahhh I didn't really notice about Gabriel's human side being more lively than his ghost side... you just have a way of looking at things so well ahhh ;; v ;;
Hmmm the more I thought of you the more details came out really
I'll send you the link in a short note after this
And ahhh please take your time to explore it as much as you like
I love all your spams hehehe they make me get a fuck load of butterflies
And that kissing gif ahhhhhhhh I'd much rather a real one from you ahahahahhaha ahhh I'm starting to feel all ksjdkjshdkshdkusahdsadbaskd
YOU ARE MOST WELCOME AHAHAH IT'S THE FIRST THAT I'VE SEEN YOU USE SO MANY CAPSLOCK AHHH I'M GLAD THAT YOU LOVE IT SO MUCH
It was all for you, that's why

I'm sure it shouldn't be a problem, also the mature content filter covers that beautiful artwork, so ahhhhhh! You don't need it!
Yess, you even made me stop playing The Binding of Isaac LOL
I was just looking if there's another reply of you in my inbox and then I saw that you uploaded your part of the art trade and I was like "OHMYGOD //instantly stops playing"
Your style is perfect the way it is!
I like that it's a bit messy, it adds a lot of character to the drawing and it's your own special technique so I immediately see that you've drawn that! It's unique!
And how couldn't I notice all the details, ahh, it would be such a shame to not notice them, to not take the time do analyse them! I don't want that your effort was for nothing, I wanna throw all the love I have on you for that, ahhhhh!
I'm usually really picky when it comes to my ghosts, but I can say absolutely nothing about how you've drawn Gabriel, it's simply perfect! You put so much thought into that, it's a real honour that you treated my little demon priest ghost man so nicely!
Ahh, I'm so so so happy (and nervous) right now, oh my god ...
You're such a precious person, I can just repeat it over and over again!
I honestly wished I could have kissed you in real life for that, oh my! I can't control myself in this situation!
SOMETIMES YOU NEED CAPS TO EXPRESS HOW ABSOLUTELY HAPPY YOU ARE, IT'S AS IF I'D SCREAM ALL THOSE WORDS IN JOY, AHHHH!
Uhuhuhu, you're just so sweet, Kuro ...

Ahahahaha and I changed it in the end, I guess since there's no blood it's alright XDDD
//searches for The Binding of Isaac//
OMG THAT LOOKS SO CUTE!!! How is the game like?? Did you just started playing it?? Q///A///Q
Ahahaha I like how you were waiting for a reply......//shot a million times over//
A-Ah... I'm really glad that you think that it's messiness is a good thing and that you'll be able to tell who the artist is ////////
That is always one of the nicest compliments anyone can ever receive ;;/////;;
UWAAA And really, thank you for taking some time to do all of that, I will be here catching all your love with one hand as I use the other to cover my face
And thank goodness Gabriel was drawn to your satisfaction even if I still feel not satisfied... you understand it ahahahaha XDDD And of course I treated him nicely since he's one of your precious children U////v////U
Oh man, I hope that happiness will overpower that nervousness ;;; A ;;;;
Ahahahahahahahhahaha, d-danke <33333 You are just as precious
Well, we both know... what would have happened if I gave it to you irl.... ahahahkdkhdkjshdkjshadsa which is why I went to sleep ahahahahahahha OTLLL
AND I CAN SEE IT CLEARLY It feels so good to know that the person you worked hard for really is grateful for the drawing that you made for them U////v///U

Yess, hooray! Now everyone can see it immediately!
Ahahaha, it's actually quite disgusting, but you're right, it looks cute!
It's just really addictive 'cause every run is different 'cause of all the items you can unlock and ahh! It's just fun!
Anyway!
Of course it's a good thing, it doesn't look sloppy or like you didn't care about what you were doing, it has a really professional look to it and I absolutely love that!
It's a very unique style!
Ahahaha, I'm sure one hand won't be enough for all my love!
Shh, there's absolutely no reason to be unsatisfied, even though I know what you mean, haha! It's just typical for artists, I guess!
What an anticlimactic consequence, haha OTL
But yeah, a lot of things would have happened if you gave this drawing to me personally, ahh!
Ah, I wished I could be even more grateful and show you all my love, but ahh!
All we have are kissing emojis!

And it's all thanks to you!
Ahh you play so many different games, it sounds as though you already finished playing all the games that you bought that day
Maybe I'll try playing it this weekend since I'm almost done with the commission huhuhuhu
And then I can finally draw Kii and Haru properly again ahh
How do you feel when you don't draw your OCs in a long time??? ;;;;;;;
I'm glad it doesn't look sloppy because yesss all my care went in to it to make sure it was worth all of that wait and the patience you gave me
/////////// Oh wow, t-thank you for thinking it has a professional look to it! That's just such a high compliment ahhh really thank you so much Ghost <3333
No it won't so maybe I'll have to bury my head in your lap while I hold my hands up to receive all of that love
Okay that just came out looking really wrong XD
Artists will always never be happy with what they've done, ever
I'm sorry for the anticlimax huhuhuhu I'll make it up to you somehow OTL
... You know seriously whenever you say all these sweet things I'll be squirming with happiness and my hands will be all over my face and all kjaskdsdjsa... seriously wishing that will happen one day, even if just for one day OTL
YOU ARE GRATEFUL you show me so many things that you don't show to others so I win ahahahahaha against who, I don't know but I still win

Shhhh, it's thanks to you 'cause you've drawn this masterpiece!
Ahhhh, I can tell you, I haven't even started most games I own yet
So I'm not even close to finishing them!
Still, it's awesome that you wanna try it, but I can already tell you that the controls are a bit difficult to learn at the beginning~
But I'm sure you'll do it just fine
Ahh, and please show the commission to me when it's done, I'd love to see it!
Hooray for Haru and Kii, ahhhh, so excited to see more of them again!
Well, I guess I'm getting frustrated after a while as I miss to draw them OTL I can't live too long without them ...
It absolutely was, every second of waiting was worth it!
Again, you don't need to thank me though, you're officially a pro now!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, oh my god, that sounded really, really, REALLY wrong, Kuro!
Ahhh, I love your ambiguous, sexual comments LOL
Awww, now I can hardly believe that you're so shy after reading all the sexual stuff you wrote, ahahaha! xD
But it's still cute to imagine you like that and I'd just love to take your hands in such a situation so I could see you blushing, uhuhuhuhu
Maybe one day, yes, but ... if it would be for just one day it could be even more painful then as you might never experience it again OTL What a letdown in the end, ugh ...
Ahhh, okay, that's a nice way to see things!
So you're definitely the winner, hooray!
Oh god, I can't even find any more good kiss icons LOL

Kuroshiro-Ki In reply to GhostPriest [2016-09-10 06:22:42 +0000 UTC]
I think you're probably the only person I know who procrastinates on playing games
OTL Well it sounds nice I guess, I hope it's free on Steam though cause I don't want to spend money on it
Yessss I'll definitely show it to you ahhh thank you really for being interested in the commission even though they're just sketches ;;; v ;;;
I think I'll spend some time in drawing Haru today since like what you said, maybe I'm more like Haru since my hair is still dark
AHH please show me any sketches that you do of your babies whenever you have the time! <3
////////////////////////// Both Haru and Kii fights in me to get their thoughts out correctly when they talk to you ahahahah
And thus those ambiguous, sexual comments XDDDD
Ah well please believe it when I say I'm shy ahahaha, it's different to think about it and then to actually be what you think XDDD
like right now amggggkdbsakdsakdkasdkjadkjasd if you held my hands even I'd probably runaway cause I'm too nervous and shy even though my mind is going "WTF dude just kiss her already" ahahahhahsksgdkadhskadhsadsdasd
I know.... ugh this is just some kind of whirlpool that goes around but we don't know where it goes to OTLLLL So that one day would be like... a painful drop maybe... OTLLLLLLL
Ahahaha there aren't anymore good icons, we used them all up sadly

Ahahahahahahahaha, I'd believe that
Ahh, I don't think it is, you have to pay for it OTL
Of course I'm interested! I mean ... the story is not that awesome, but I wanna see your art and your skills and everything!
And they're not "just" sketches, it's an amazing style! In my eyes they aren't sketches at all!
Hooray, Haru! Can't wait to see what you'll come up with, ahh!
Well, currently I don't really have anymore sketches 'cause I'm busy with the challenge, but I'll show them to you as soon as I have some!
Ahahahahaha, oh my!
I wonder what it would sound like if only Kii or only Haru would say certain things!
The combination of them results into such comments LOL that's hilarious!
It's always easier to say some things when you don't really see the other person, right?
I'm sure you wouldn't say such ... sexual things immediately when you'd stand right in front of me
But it's so cute as well when you're shy and run away 'cause you're not brave enough to make the first move!
Well, I'm just the same, to be honest. So I guess we'd always run away from each other then LOL
Basically we kissed too much, haha!

Ah well... What's a bit of money? Because I'm curious to see how you do things and see the world so it'd be a nice idea to try and play it O v O
Hahahaha ahhh well, pardon the horrible female anatomy then, and by that I mean explicit ones
Q//A//Q It is a feat to believe that someone like you with your amazing art don't see my sketches as sketches ahhh that's a very very high form of praise oh wow
Well you inspired me to do a challenge so I'll try doing it later on I guess ahahahaha OTLLLL
Yay! I wish I could look at your entire sketchbook collection though huhuhu do you have a lot of them? O A O
Ahh Kii would be someone who does their best to make you comfortable while Haru does his best to make you uncomfortable
And that is why their combination is a hilarious statement XDDD
Yes you're right, because then we won't hesitate to saw what we really want ////A/////
PPFFFTTT I really LOL-ed when I read that hahahaha imagine saying that as your first words when meeting each other instead of "Hello" it's like "............
Okay I really can't bring myself to do this kind of talk now ahahahaha it's really embarrassing" (that would be Kii)
I want to fuck you." (and that would be Haru)
Hahahahaha oh god that's another hilarious scene like we would go near each other and then when one of us reaches out the other will run and it will be vice versa and we're running everywhere
ahahahahaha oh well we'll see about that pahahahahhaah

Yeah, why not?
But still, if you don't want to spend the money, you could still watch some Let's Plays of it on Youtube!
Aww, I'm sure it'll be just fine, it wasn't my plan in the first place to look so close at those parts of the commission anyway
Oh god, please don't say that! ///// It's not like I'm a pro or anything, so please just take it as a normal compliment for your skills and style!
A challenge? What kind of challenge do you wanna do?
Ahaha, I have a lot of old sketchbooks from when I started to draw! And a few new ones as well, but not that much.
What about you?
Oh god, so basically they want right the opposite!
That's what makes the combination just pure gold LOL
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha
I loved that, oh my god! Kii's so shy and tries to be polite, while Haru's just so 'BAM, right in your face!'
In real life I'd definitely prefer Kii though, haha! Especially when it's the first time to meet each other!
When you already know each other, well ... that's another case LOL
Oh god, that would be hilarious, but also so true! I can absolutely imagine that
And so we run away forever until we crash into each other LOL
Ohohoho, you can never kiss enough, can you?

Ahhh you're right! It'd be a better idea to watch the Let's Plays to see how it goes first O v O
Ahahahahah no of course not hahahahahah
Ahh well you'll be a pro soon once you've finished your degree and then I can call you a pro all I want
Ahh it'll be a challenge to draw the same thing a couple of times for a kind of practice? It's something I've been wanting to do for some time O v O
Ahhhh I really wish I could see all of them and look at each page carefully ;;;;; A ;;;;;
I have a couple but less than 10 hahahaha OTL
Ahh well as you know hehehe the different polarities just work by itself and so differently XD Although Kii is honestly just as perverted ahahaha
Ahh please don't worry I'm pretty much Kii irl it's only on the Internet that Haru really comes out also on paper
How do you think you'd act like irl when we meet? O////v////O
Ahahahaha it'd be a real mess when we crash into each other and it'd probably be all awkward but oddly cute too ahahahaha U////v////U
Oh you know how it is ahahahaha ahhh but I can't find any icons here on my phone OTL But I'd render you senseless anyway with what poor skills I have pahahahahha XDDDD

Less than 10 still sounds like a lot, I'm sure you still have more than me!
Hahahaha, I'm sure he is
What a relief LOL
Ah, I'd probably say nothing at all and hide somewhere 'cause I couldn't handle the situation OTL
