Description
☼ Twilight Saga Gallery☼ Twilight © Stephenie Meyer.
☼ Art © me.
What can I say?
Other than "I need to stop drawing boring straight on head shots and use the same shading tricks over and over again", that is... I was just trying to improve my design of Edward (that really wonky face from last time bothere me to no end) and even though I said I had a father & son piece with Carlisle in mind, I really wanted to draw him in his "snapped" state, just to see what it would look like. So this isn't from a particular moment in either book, just something I wanted to try. After seeing the illustrations from the Japanese books, I was really tempted to change his hair style, but then I realised I'd probably end up drawing something way too similar to Light from Death Note, so I stuck with what I drew last time instead. Oh and where's his shirt? I don't know! If Jacob and the boys can lose their shirts so easily, why not Edward, eh?
I want to try drawing Bella now, which will probably be tricky seeing how I don't draw girls that much at all.
I've decided to read both books again (yes, I *know* I only finished less than a week ago) and this time I'm reading *much* more slowly, and taking notes too
Jeez, I'm sorry, I really need to cut down on the description...
ETA: I know Stephenie Meyer's vampires don't have fangs but I learned that some time after posting this and I'm too lazy to edit the picture...

Aaawww, thank you so much for the comment and the ! Despite the mistake with the fangs, I still really like that piece, because it shows a side of Edward we don't get to see much of, at least not to start with.

Np
Yeah that's true, but the fangs dont really bother me it makes him a bit more edgy and dangerous, if you get what I mean.
Cant wait for Breaking Dawn ! *drool*

Yes, I imagined him about to jump on something/someone, either to feed or defend himself. I just...didn't know at the time that Stephenie Meyer's vampires don't have fangs

Stay with Bella and you'll be safe since I'm sure he wouldn't want to let her see him this way.

Oh well then I'm not the only one who was late discovering them! I got them for Christmas and read them a couple of months ago. I started re-reading Twilight straightaway but things got in the way. Still, I'm planning to read them both again before I get Eclipse.

Well, get this one...
I have 20 bucks stashed in my room. My mom says we can go shopping if I bring it with me and I'm like NO! I WANT ECLIPSE WHEN IT COMES OUT! Shopping is one of my favorite passtimes. If it's food or shopping... well, nvm.

I'm unfortunately going to get the book a bit late (but it'll be a late birthday present from a friend, so I don't mind) but I'll have to make sure I avoid spoilers until I do get it.

It's not just the ending I don't want to know about; I don't want ANYTHING spoiled. While I was reading Twilight, I accidentelly spoiled myself for New Moon on Wikipedia when I read Edward wasn't in it much (which prompted me to go "WTF??")

i know... I couldn't stand New Moon at parts because my favorite character left like, chapter 3. GONE! LEFT ME HIGH AND DRY!
And my friend Micha spolied both endings for me when he said 'they both end really well.' Im like WTF SHUT UP!!!! So the whole time i'm readin New Moon, I just keep saying 'what's the point. its gonna end well.. >.<

Well I really like Jacob so I survived (obviously) but it hurt so much to suddenly have no Edward at all. The reunion scene in Volterra was nearly the end of me. I'm still trying to come up with a way to draw something from it.
Now that I think of it, I actually also spoiled myself for Twilight. I think I'd reach the point where Alice and Jasper take Bella with them and I read that Edward took her to the prom at the end... There will be no reading anything anywhere this time around!!

I was inspired by the first chapter of Midnight Sun, but yes, that definitely works as well.
Argh, I need to keep re-reading Twilight. I've been really busy and I stopped before I reached the meadow scene

YES, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE 'TOO SIMILAR TO LIGHT' THING! (sorry, all caps...) someone even favorited the drawing i did of edward, because they thought it was light ... i don't even read/watch death note...!
this is lovely! fantastic coloring, awesome expression, smexy edward rendition...

GO AHEAD WITH THE CAPS, I DON'T MIND!!
I saw that piece of yours and it's quite something. Actually, I'll have to go back and fave it. And you wouldn't know this if you don't know DN, but there are red apples in there as well (especially associated with Light), so anyone who's into DN would make the mistake at first glance. Although, I don't know how they manage to miss the TITLE and ENTIRE DESCRIPTION...

pikimomo In reply to Mangsney [2007-04-24 00:55:08 +0000 UTC]
i know there's something to do with apples 'cause i saw a poster for the live action movie? but i don't know the significance.
and i agree with the title and description thing... *sigh* XD. oh well, at least no one's boo'd me for it? ^_~
and thanks so much for the fav... yeah, i'm just gonna watch you, too many things that could be favorited X3

Mangsney In reply to pikimomo [2007-04-25 16:45:24 +0000 UTC]
Well it's just that Light has this scary-looking shinigami hanging around him who loves apples from the human world and can't go without them for too long, so we them fairly often.
I'm going to watch you back, because you've got some really lovely piece, and that Jacob/Edward one is hilarious

I like the way you do his hair, just so you know. The Japanese illustrations are hot as hell, but in many cases they don't get his hair tousled-looking enough.
And awesome job on the expression! I can't do extreme expressions to save my life....

Well that's good because, as you know, I kind of completely copied the style *you* gave him
By the way, did you read the first chapter of Midnight Sun on her site? That's what inspired this piece.

Thank you!! As for his eyes, well I know they should probably black when he's in that state but it didn't look right so I kept them brown, but much darker than on the first picture I drew of him.
Oh and thanks for the various !!
