Description
Alma Karma | Yuu Kanda [D.Gray-Man - Katsura Hoshino]Cocytus means "The river of Wailing|Lamentation"
and is a river in the underworld in Greek Mythology~
Inspiration:
#01: DGM Chapter 192-193 "A hand reaching out to the sky~ It resembles the destiny of a lotus flower~"
#02: Emery - Churches and Serial Killers
#03: IAMX - Tear Garden
Meh~ The spoilers STILL aren't out and there's some people saying,
the main RAW provider just gave up on us?
Which probably means the chapter will be released and THEN we'll get to see it...
So...no spoilers at all? TTATT
I'm starting to get nervous >.>
Anyway~
First, you can surely tell why I drew Alma's hands like this...
Holy crap, he just ripped them off to get away? OAO *in chapter 193*
And then go save Yuu-chan~ ;___;
This Chapter just freaked me out in many ways~
Another thing~ I love twisted things and ideas~
That's why the hands in the womb-holes,
that supposedly should reach out for the sky,
are actually hanging from heaven,
pointing down to the earth, filled with lotuses.
So everything is upside down, twisting Heaven and Underworld~
Since the power Alma and Kanda have, the one of regeneration,
Is a never ending circle of Life and Death~
Second~ Emery is a great band and hell! Even the title fits the current situation in DGM
*if Alma can be called a serial killer XD*
Anyway, the lyrics to this specific song attracted my attention~
To recall all the footsteps in the hall, with our loose lips.
Chemicals in the bloodstream. Start the surgery.
Take care not to hurt me.
Brush the skin; blood involved.
Lose the voice.
She rejoices if I'm all alone.
Beauty takes more than anything.
But I can't stop whats inside of me~
Third~ Another great song, this time from IAMX~
At our road, we connected through,
The biology of universal cruelty,
Send me home, return me to a lonely womb~
And then the tears cried in the tear garden,
Will be for life~
Sketch: 0.5 Mechanic Pencil on A3 Aquarelle Paper
Time: 7 hours~
Color: Photoshop Cs3, Wacom Tablet
Time: 6 hours~
Sketch found in Scrapbook
Most Textures: =Sirius-sdz
Anyway I was trying to get away from a "drawing"-depression or something of that sort~
I just didn't want to draw for a longlong while -__-~p
But seems like I'm feeling a bit better right now~
Still not satisfied with this picture but w/e~
Just did it to force myself to draw again...
Oh and I left the various paintings and details in this Womb-chamber out~
Too much work~ Too little patience~
Oh and here you can see blood all over the womb-holes.__.
Which means either Kanda or Alma *most probably actually* killed them @^@
Poor things~
BTW! Did a bit of research and with the help of
various posts from other people here and there
Found out that the symbol on Alma's and Kanda's chest
Can be read "Garbha" and "Aum" in India
Which can mean "Embryo|Womb|Pregnancy" and "The infinite Circle of Birth-Life-Death" respectively!
Now THAT explains a lot!
Hoshino-san really had the plot in her head from the beginning of the story~
Plus now Alma can officially get pregnant 8D
*and he wants Kanda's babies XD*
*gets bricked*
Enjoy~
And pray with me that we will be blessed with spoilers soon~
Anyway goodnight~ It's damn 4am. here *cry*

YOU TOO?? *squeal~~!!*
I know! I have both the "Change!" and "Black&White", plus I have
3 other Laven, "For You", "Pandora", and "Nightmare"~~
but sadly I cannot found the translated ver for shadow of the moon vol2,
so it was all in jap/korean D:
I can't read kanji, dammit!
I have never heard of Houseki Hime...
maybe I'll search her later! Any reccomendation? ^^
And, OMG CIEL'S LINK?? I WANT IT!!! >////////<
IT IS AWESOME!! XDD
It was written on the seme's handbook *from dangerous pleasure scanlation group*
rule 26: Ropes materialize out of thin air. Don't worry about stashing ropes or
ties around the house -if you've got your uke under you, you can just pull a rope from
sub-space to tie him up.
LOL

OMG YES!!!
I have read all of them too!*thought I couldn't find a download link for Nightmare and Change T_T* After I read Shadow Of the Moon, I LOOOOOOVED the art, so I started searching for every DGM doujinshi of this artist out there
Saaaaaame here TT___TT I don't have the translation to volume 2 either And as far as other people are concerned, they seem to lack it too~ I've asked here and there, but noone has it TTATT I can't read Kanji to save my life either!
Yup~! Here is her website: [link]
There are some lovely DGM fanarts on the bottom of the page~~ HAAAARR!!
You don't know Houseki Hime? It's ok~ Here is a link to an AWESOME DGM artbook of her
[link]
She has a REAALLY great drawing style! I love it~~!
There is one problem though: She.freaking.only.draws.covers! OAO
I mean apart from that artbook, she hasn't drawn a single DGM doujinshi TTATT She only illustrates the covers for many DGM-fanfiction-books *and those covers are sooo damn good MAN!*. She has awesome Fullmetal Alchemist doujinshis though, but WHY not DGM too? WHYYYYY~??? *cries in a corner*
Yes, I'm disappointed~ Β°^Β°
But anyway, here is her website: [link]
She has even worked on some Katekyo Hitman Reborn fanbooks with Ciel 33.3 together! OAO Though I think they were just fanfiction again, and both did a few illustrations TT___TT Shame~
Anyway, have a fun time with the links!
Really!? This thing about the ropes was written in a handbook? LOOOL!!
Ok, then it's official XD
I actually read a yaoi random doujinshi today, and suddenly the ukes hands where tied! And I was wondering "Wait...when did that happen? And where did he get the rope from?" O.o
LOOL!XD That explains a lot XD *semes are rope-appearing-wizards! *

ME TOO!! XDDD Her first doujin that I read was For You, and I was sooo in love with her artwork that I search for the rest of her works all over the inet
It's a shame that she didn't like the scanlation of her works roaming on the internet, so almost all of her works's links have already expired or deleted D':
Ah! You don't have nightmare and change?? Now I can repay your kindness for giving me Houseki Hime and Ciel's website because I already checked them and they were AWESOMEEEEE!!
Here is Nightmare and here is Change! have fun with the links too~~!!
I can't believe I didn't knew Houseki Hime before... her artbook was AMAZING and I LOVE it!! Thank you so much for the links~~!!
And, I'M SO SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY!!! D:
I was too preoccupied by schoolworks and I didn't have time to touch my laptop at all... TT^TT

I don't know why but when i see this art, suddenly i feel so sad... (probably an effect after read chapter 193...).
Love this XD

Hehehe you're welcome.
Really.
This art... feels so sad and lonely. (Eeer is this really chapter 193 effect??)
Ahahahahaha yes....truly king of heavy....
Too...tragic... TT___TT
Poor Alma and Kanda...(but i more sympathy Alma for some unknown reason...)

sakonma In reply to 5aVir4-C3ciL [2010-04-05 22:52:09 +0000 UTC]
Hm? With art you mean this picture? Well, I guess it's not effected by chapter 193, since I drew it before it's release~ But I guess the previous chapters and my thoughts of what may happen in the ones that will follow influence me a lot~ Q^Q
Me too~ I more symmpathise with Alma right now cuz he has it harder than Kanda at the moment~ Plus he doesn't seem to be that kind of a emotionally strong person like Kanda is~
He's more sensitive~ I mean he cried when Kanda was avoiding him and didn't talk to him at first~ So cute~! TT3TT

5aVir4-C3ciL In reply to sakonma [2010-04-10 16:09:58 +0000 UTC]
Maybe i'm the one that infected too much with chapter 193.
Every art like chapter 193 to me.
O__O yes~ Very agree with you.
Hahahahaha i really like Alma personality. I thought he will be cool or calm guy when i saw him first time (in adult form).
BTW can you explain me why he killed everyone?
I'm not very understand his reason.
π: 0 β©: 1
sakonma In reply to 5aVir4-C3ciL [2010-04-11 09:53:46 +0000 UTC]
haha~! There's actually nothing wrong with it^^
I love this chapter also! O^O
And I just can't wait for the next one!
Cool and calm? hm... Yup I thought so too when I first saw him! But now I really wonder what kind of personality he will have when he wakes up! O.O
His reason? Well... I'm not sure myself. But anyway~ For me it looks like when he synchronized with his innocence *back in chapter 192* he probably remembered his past. I mean maybe he saw memories of the person, from whom he has his brain. And maybe he had a tragic past too and saw himself being killed too, like what Kanda saw *being killed by the Akuma and blahblah*. So maybe Alma then realized that he had already lost what was dear to him, and saw that the Order just wants to use them as "recycled stuff" and "tools" now for the "holy war" thing. So that's why he went mad from anger and decided to kill himself *and Yuu-chan* in order not to be used for the rest of his life as a tool .__.
Well that's what it looks like to me. Hope you understand it a bit more now... THOUGH it's actually pretty stupid of him to just go on and kill himself, cuz he could have just escaped with Yuu *and Marie* and could have led his own life, without being used! v___v Meh... But then D.Gray Man would have a totally different plot I guess XD
I hope I didn't confuse you any further Β°^Β°

5aVir4-C3ciL In reply to sakonma [2010-04-13 04:34:18 +0000 UTC]
Me too XD
But i heard the next one will be on June... O__O
Yes me too. Wish he still the same Alma that love to following Yuu everywhere... Now i really hope Alma is alive and join Allen cs too... (Which is kinda impossible)
Wow...but i think Alma should not kill the one who still sleeping too O__O...
Wow...i don't know why but i really like the way Alma stab himself with Kanda....
I understand it XD Thank you.
Oh wait about escape with Kanda and Marie, if that happen...
Then there will be no character name Kanda Yuu in the first place coz he already live happily with Alma and Marie...
Now i really want a happy end for Kanda arc....

sakonma In reply to 5aVir4-C3ciL [2010-06-06 10:37:46 +0000 UTC]
Lol! I loved it too! It was like: "Oh my love~ Let's die together~"
like in some Samurai-romance-tragedy-movies XD
Yeah you are right~ I would be like a completely different story~ v__v
I don't think the Kanda ark will have a happy ending :/ I don't know if you have already read the latest chapter 195 but Alma sure looks evil there! ...And so badass too! I'm looking forward to the next chapters!
So thrilling! I hope there will be some yaoi implies at least~

Hahahahaha!!
i can't help but agree with you XD!!
Yeah after read 195, it seems it's going either Alma join the Noah family or Alma dead and goes to heaven. (still wish he join Allen cs and happy with Kanda in the end)
Oh yeah he is so evil and that expression of him... wew... totally change from cutie alma who always smile following yuu around to akuma alma who wants to destroy his beloved one. Love how he transformed back into his original face XD. So cool...
Yeah me too (the next chapter and the yaoi implies). Oh wait...between who and who? Kanda Alma or Kanda Allen?

sakonma In reply to 5aVir4-C3ciL [2010-06-12 15:20:53 +0000 UTC]
hm yeah~ Me too~ I mean he either becomes the Earl's puppet and gets controlled by him or dies by Kanda's hands... THOUGH! Maybe Hoshino will surprise us again? I mean I didn't see him changing his hairstyle coming! XD
I just got used to the long hair and BAM! There she goes and changes it again, and now Alma looks evern SCARIER than before! XD
But yeah~ It's cool and hot~
Yaoi implies! I wish for them too!
KxAllen or KxAlma? ...hm...why not a threesome!?
*bricked*

5aVir4-C3ciL In reply to sakonma [2010-06-16 08:11:09 +0000 UTC]
Actually recently i'm thinking that he becomes one of the villain will be so cool too... But he joins black order again is much more acceptable that become villain.
Bout his hairstyle, Me too XD
Oh yeah he is.... Much more scarier than before...
Allen x Kanda x Alma ?!! Not a bad idea XD~

sakonma In reply to 5aVir4-C3ciL [2010-06-17 19:55:40 +0000 UTC]

I love the disturbing hands that come out of the apostols holes, remind me of some japanese horror movie or else.
And I really like Alma's arms, like they were desintegrating with the contact of innocence.
Just wow. Nice work
