Description
So I broke down and watched Legend, and that same night had a vividly romantic dream about Tim Curry as Darkness. As you do. I can't be the only good girl who has a crush on the devil, can I?I didn't care for the movie aside from Darkness, and was especially put off by the character Lily, so I wondered who would be appropriate to pair with His Evilness. Saint Agape (of Barbucci & Canepa's Sky Doll) just kind of inserted herself, and she's perfect. She's an embodiment of goodness and sacrifice, of sensuality and a pure heart -- and they still have things in common. If Darkness is going to fall in love with someone, I want it to cripple him. I want him to be completely defeated by her. I want him to give in. That's what good love does to you.
I would almost guarantee that these two have never been drawn on the same paper together. I also almost guarantee (less confidently) that this is the last time I'll be drawing Darkness. But I said that about Bowie, so. You never know.
materials: pencil, paper, PS7
music: Gigi, "NafekeΓ±"

LOL Your right Tim Curry was the greatest, but mucklebones's character to me was more frightening when I was a kid. And hey they did a hell of a job with that rubber and slime. Lol. And if I'm not mistaken dude played her voice.

Absolutely stunning.
I don't know who the girl is, but Darkness has always been in the top of my favorite sexy villains, with Jareth, of course. I am interested in the way you say "I want it to cripple him. I want him to be completely defeated by her. I want him to give in. That's what good love does to you."
I totally agree, I think that those kind of relationships are the most dynamic and heart-wrenching and with the most blood, sweat, and tears. Beauty and the Beast is one of the prime examples and it's my favorite story of all.
Bravo

It's very much a beauty-and-the-beast type story. Except poor Darkness never gets redemption. And neither does Jareth! You have to give them time, girls. ^_^

That crown is magnificent. Those whole thing is composed beautifully, and the warm color scheme is so fitting, but I have to admit the crown and heart resonate a lot with me.

I'm glad.

Yeah, Darkness was pretty much the only thing I liked about that movie. (Tom Cruise in a gold chainmail mini-dress?!?!?! WTF?)
What is it with women being attracted to bad guys? Because we think we can change them, or because we want a little danger? Maybe the power trip of taming them? "All he needs is the love of a good woman." Man, if I had a fiver for every time I heard that . . .
Beautiful, as always.

I think you hit the nail. In theory, I like the idea of a good heart inspiring a bad one to change. In practice? I know I just like being the yin to a bad boy's yang. ;D

Bahaha, I love that movie. And I agree that whiny princess Sloan (that is all she is to me after Ferris Bueller) is annoying. xD I like this much better.

ooo, very cool, I don't know the girl, but I always thought Tim Curry
was the only good part of that movie
(and the only reason I watched it in the first place ^^)
and interesting thoughts on the coupling too

So few can truly portray the devil so sensualy and naturaly than than curry.
I knew my intrests in characters went to far when i saw him as a young teen. (Ive gone for hot and evil ever since.)
He and Jareth are my ultimate favorite evil-sexy villains.
In fact, other than a stamp or two, i made this lovely group to use...
=
and just because hes amusing, i made drfranknfurterplz, but the top two are my prefered for staring at.
You could say "Horns make me horny."

your definitely not the only one with a crush on darkness. I agree that lily's characters was a little off putting. She just had no personality to me.

Holy cow, he's perfect. I am against astonished by your facial expressions. I can't do anything with expressions. I just can't seem to make my pencil delicate enough.

Maybe draw bigger?

Hrm. Considering that my usual medium is only about 8x12, and usually as small as 3x5??? Good suggestion. [Eyes untouched 24x24 sketchbook given to her for graduation...]

Legend is a beautiful movie. The whole film has symbolisim and morals to tell of fantasy, love and fear, death and life, light and darkness.
Hell, I too have had dreams of him. He's definitely a figure of 'forbidden fruit' and evil, simply looking at you seduces you to the dark side of life.
This picture makes perfect sense. If only I could see more Darkness art from you...the film has so much to delve into, it's theme's and motifs that some I haven't even fully found to understand!

I thought the whole film would have worked nicely as a book, but it was so... a friend used the word "nonlinear", and I kind of agree. It was very confusing, and I felt a lot of the characters were contrived. (All the woodland elves and dwarves' chipmunky little voices? Really? And glitter on EVERYTHING?) I felt like the story threw a bunch of characters at us and figured we'd assume they were worthy or unworthy based on stereotypical visual cues.
Some of the scenes were total magic, though. The goblins stalking the unicorns through a shower of flower petals was gorgeous. I still have to say, after multiple viewings, that Tim Curry obvious steals the flick, with his subtlety and perfectly-dished outrage. He's exactly what was intended for the character. The devil, after all, ought to be sexy, or it wouldn't be much of a moral triumph to resist him, would it?

As I said, it's a bunch of symbols and glitter thrown at us. Fantasy setting to attract money because it was the Fantasy Film craze at the time, so it is very, well, kinda messed up in a way. Which is why people relaly see it as a fantasy film, while it is AND something more than a fantasy-fairy-Satan storyline. They used Tim Curry in a Christian sterotype of Satan as a being, set in a world that feels devoid of Christian society, to get the point across. That makes it way awesome.
Indeed, sexiness is key. Red hot flaming muscles? Big horns? the fact it's Tim Curry, with some sexually-suggested lines? Oh yes he IS the show. And he definitely wants to be in your little dragon-pelt pants...for a price of course, such as making you evil like him.

Lily does have a wicked dress when he seduces her though. That whole scene is brilliant.
As is this! Hooray for bad boys with a soft side.

I saw this on lj, and decided to comment here. It's really freaking awesome. Love it.

simply wonderful, interesting to see agape with the dark prince even better would have been agape in the dark dress from legend

Aw, but I like her minimalist bandages.

I blame Darkness for my obsession with bad boys.

I'm kind of grateful I didn't see Legend as a little girl. I was already too preoccupied with sex and romance, I can't imagine what kind of girl I'd have grown up to be.
π: 0 β©: 1
lol Yeah it definitely shaped the way I think of romance!

Who doesn't love Darkness?

Sky Doll is an amazing comic book. It's originally Italian, I think, but you should be able to find it at bookstores with no problem. It appeals to me on every level.

Well I do think I can trust your sense of taste. I'll look it up sometime.
