Description
I've beared witness to this place, this prayer,so long forgotten. So pure, so rare,
to witness such a lovely goddess.
I'd sell my soul, my self-esteem,
a dollar at a time
for one chance, one kiss,
one taste of you, my black madonna.
I'll sell my soul, my self-esteem,
a dollar at a time
for one taste,
one taste,
one taste of you my Magdalena.
this ain't great. it's old. but i thought i'd toss it up before i vecked it (possibility?) the woman is Jemmy (Maggie was just the song title) and yes she was based off of me. essentially the prototype for Major Ka. always wearin the same camisole. *yawn* Sashe on the left, Joe on the right.
Jemmy and Joe is a defunct story project of mine, about a russian guy, a ukrainian guy, and a girl caught in between (sometimes literally). it starts with high school drama in america present day (well 2003ish), becomes a pseudo-domestic war drama overseas, etc etc. lots of sex and violence and alcohol and slavophilia.
basically Jemmy disregards the situation of her home and her family/illegitimate daughter and the world at large because her and Joe's relationship is so ROYALLY fucked up but they still like doing eachtoher and probably even still love eachother. and it only gets worse when they leave america to live with Joe's rich friend from like, the eighth grade. Sashe is LOADED because he's a stock broker by day/pornographer by night. he puts her in a couple movies with him, then the ex-friends eventually start fighting over her, not cuz she's hot or anything but out of spite, and OH YEAH there is still a huge war going on and america is like, burnt to the ground, but forget about that, because in russia there are twentysomethings being promiscuous and there are night club shootings and an S&M cult and slasher antics and dead hookers in the river. far more interesting.
i dropped it because i realized i didn't know how to write about a lot of the more serious politick involved. i might unravel all the bullshit and finish it off someday, it had some promise, it just couldn't go anywhere for a while. i have LOADS of narrative that i never submitted. no one reads them because they're not FMA/Naruto fanfics. a couple of them i did turn in are here:

TECH:
i drew this in '03, before i discovered vector. GOD DAMN THAZ OLD, YO. it's pretty shitty. when i mirror it, you can't even tell it's people. it looks like snot on a monitor. but i dug it up last night, and thought "wow this song i'm hearing rules looking at this." so i formatted it nicely and here it is now. no crits, i outgrew this style (obviously).
Magdalena is ©2005 A Perfect Circle.

really? hmm... he's SUPPOSED to be cute, they both are, but kind of ...came out differently than i'd imagined. as in, i wasn't very good at the style i was using back in this time period. i drew this in 03-- i know the description's long, but i usually try to keep it pertinent.
peronsally i always thought joe was hotter though

thirtyfive is a dickhead though. sure he starts out all fun and games... like a sexy Fry, even. but he becomes pure undiluted dick in the middle of the series.
and if someone else thinks my guys are hot, fucking fuck yeah. because i try my damndest.

i'm not sure i will there'd be no change in the style or the quality of the image for how hard i'd work on it. i don't want detailed character portraits like i do now or i would;ve just drawn them on paper.
after the turnout on this, i'm kind of happy with it for what it's worth. but thanks for diggin it

I always enjoyed the whacky fucking-in-the-smoldering-war-torn-snowbanks-of-alternate-2003-Russia-antics
that were so commonly associated with the Jem/Joe saga. I do hope one day you dust the stack off and get that shit out there.
Now that I have my semi serious comment done, time to get down to the nitty gritty.
I've seen these two operators several times, however for some reason, with Jen in the middle, they look like some kind of cocks-for-hire. Sashe is a little more on the business aspect, he fills out the paperwork before things go down. Then it's 4 hours and sweat and swearing and just a good old fashioned russia 3-way.
Their jingle should be to the tune of Ghostbusters.
"If there's something lame
and you need some wood--
who you gonna call?
FUCK BUDDIES"

sadly jen ain't around-- she IS eightysixed for the complete and total duration. sicka that bitch.
but i was tossin this old story material around in my head last night before sleep, and though i stopped working on it, i don't hate it, like Silicon Half. so this will probably remain my side project.
sashe literally is.... a... cock for hire actually. i guess, that's one way of putting what he does to supplement his already ridiculous income.
i'm glad you still like it zac

Hm..that story sounds interesting. Love triangle thing in a war. And now I wanna listen to Magdalena. But anyways, I like how Jemmy is in the middle. Though thats the obvious place to put her. But I like how shes lowered down like shes in front of Sashe and Joe. And the colors are wonderful.

Honestly I always liked stark contrasts, black, white, and red, together make some really powerful images imho.

that's why i stick to IMO, when i chance to shorthand the expression.
maybe i will use more the last time i used it was for Raw Deal and in that deviation all the mesh gradients kind of defeated the red into "warm grey," and i'd used a very low range shade at that already.
so yes! m0ar
