Description
Song to listen to for the tone/mood of the scene: [link]Β©Death Note copyright for Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata
All of the items in this scene were developed by myself; textures and manipulations for locations, presentation, posing, etc.
I am a developer for IMVU.com. No items seen here are available to purchase and use. This is for a private project.
Do you have an IMVU account? Then copy & paste the following think to visit this scene and observe it: imvu://room/lLl/Official+Headquarters+%28Death+Note%29
This is a short comic strip introducing L's internal thoughts when thinking about himself and the the way in which he thinks about life personally.
I developed this to illustrate what many fans have missed or overlooked when internally processing the morals of the character L Lawliet. What makes him do what he does, and why, exactly?
Do not claim as your own, please.

Very like L. I wouldn't be surprised if this was what he had really been thinking. It's comforting to think that L didn't die in vain after all. n_n So thank you for this.
P.S. Ignore this if it seems too trivial for notice, but you spelled "Existence" as "Existance" in the first and second panels, and honestly it's just driving me crazy. If it was done on purpose, then maybe that's a different story.....

No, that was an honest mistake. It seems I still have not overcome my dyslexia. I will fix this later.

Dyslexia. I never would have guessed. You don't really have to change it if it will take too much of your precious time -- i mean it's not really important y'know

This is so beautiful, youve got the environment pretty accurate, and I love how youve done the face and the hair looks so much like L! good job
I believe that this is very much what L's internal thoughts would look like, its just such a shame he had to die so early on in the story, I would have loved the producers of death note to expand on his character a bit more, but not so much that he is no longer a mystery

I have not really viewed him this way.
I always wondered what occured before his death.. aside from the rain scene.
Thank you for clarifying.

I see, there is always an approachable way to begin new ideas for an interest with similar morals.

I really like this. I feel you portrayed L's thoughts very well, and I especially like L's face here.
I like the song, too. Never heard it before, but I like it.

I am glad you also enjoyed the song addition, I was listening to this and similar identities as I was organizing these shots. I am glad you appreciate this form of work. I suppose I prefer working in a third dimension rather than a second. I plan to produce more 3-D models as a physical art form as well as a digital one. I am currently working on some sculpting work I hope you will enjoy. Take care now.

I am a digital developer for an online website and virtual client called IMVU. I develop textures and a few mesh items, then manipulate them into scenes. Having this role requires a lot of dedication and skill building in order to have a rank among the website as well as a catalog of variety. Not to mention the fees of subscription to the website itself.

Well darn you, Playlist.com, darn you...
Anyhow, this is a very well-made comic. The visual flow of the text and composition of each image guides the eye from panel to panel quite smoothly. I also enjoy how you incorporated close-ups of some of the modeled items and furniture that you developed; it allows the viewer to really soak in the details.
On another note (no pun intended), this is exactly the kind of internal monologue I'd expect L to have towards the end of his days. I find it interesting to see L's morals illustrated in such a clear way when in the official works, the only true insight the readers are given on his motivations and personal philosophy are implied through his spoken dialogue, decisions and interactions with others characters.

This is upsetting news... Perhaps I can offer you the title of this song and its artist so you may do a bit of research yourself for this matter: To Build a Home: The Cinematic Orchestra
I am on my knees for this respect that you show my my friend. I am truly engulfed with your affections, thank you. L's morals can be dissected and projected in many forms, the authenticity lies within the hearts of those who honor him for his unique display of symbolism. I do fancy trying to spawn a different way of projecting this, in a way that you can remember watching the animated series, or reading the original comic work. This piece happens to have been an inspiration of both of these resources to project it into one strip of memory so that who he is not forgotten in our appreciation-- within what ever form it was where you first exposed yourself to his legacy. Having this combination in the form I present now is something I wanted to have in order to allow care and honor towards the intended representation. I hope others like you can see this with the same eyes.
