Description I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you


Heard a song come through on 8tracks , decided I needed to sketch Seven very suddenly. Grabbed volunteering husband for posing purposes, started sketching, and six hours later, I have this. I can't explain myself beyond that. I seriously did not mean to get so into drawing this, but while I was drawing, everything just sort of clicked. Things started magically working out and not looking like crap, and I didn't get annoyed and stop working. This is also one of those very rare moments that something actually looks like how I imagined it in my head.

I won't say whether or not any of this image is canon to the story, so you can make up what's going on in your mind. It's more fun that way.

PS: See? I'm not dead! Just working towards getting back into Seventh Ring creation, and this certainly helped get the creative juices flowing...


Artwork and Seven belong to me!

Oooo I know, toon crush is a great way to put it, haha! Is it bad or wrong of me to have a crush on my own character? D: hahaha

Thanks for the comment!

I, too, love the lighting and color in this piece. Really conveys a mood.

Thanks Adam, glad you like it! I'd be lying if I said all your hard work on Seventh Ring fanart didn't help inspire me to stop being so lazy.

This is really awesome. I especially like the lighting in it. It's nice to see a lot of ambient, environmental lighting, and of course I like the background. I also really like his hair. There's a lot of detail in it, and you made it look really soft. And of course all of the dust specks in the air add to the realism of it. Overall, really impressive! <3

Ffffff whyyyy is this guy so gorgeous??? I totally want to draw him one of these days yanno. >_> Β This is truly lovely, the lighting and mood and everything. Speaks volumes. Isn't it awesome when stuff just pours out of your head the way you wanted it and things just click like that? I live for those moments.

When you figure out why he's so gorgeous, you let me know, 'cause I sure as hell haven't figured it out. D: Maybe it's his moody eyebrows or his crazy hair or those rippling biceps....hmm....

And yes, it really is fabulous when art just flows. Same with writing, really. Any time I can just get so in the zone that I hardly need to do anything other than tough tablet pen to monitor is a wonderful experience. As an artist, I must agree that I live for those moments as well, despite how rare they may be!

And as always thank you for the kind comment!

You are very welcome! May you have more moments of creative flow soon!
