Description
Good and evil -And their merits -
Men have argued through history,
As well they should;
My philosophy
Any child can see -
"Good is evil -
And therefore
All evil is good."
~"Good'n'Evil", from Jekyll & Hyde: the Musical
Today I just needed some unprompted, out-of-the-blue Malachi shirtless action, hence this VERY quick ridiculousness. Apparently I'm digging this windswept-profile-on-textures look.
As a side note-- considering the looseness of that rope and the, um... lowness of the waistline on those pants, I'm not 100% certain how they're keeping him decent. I blame magic modesty fairies.

Um... the FFC?
As for good and evil, alignments are relative. Unless someone is evil, in which case I'm good and the guy who keeps me from starting a fight is the neutral one...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That seems likely.
And yeah, alignments are totally relative, I just needed a title. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeaaah. I usually prefer games without them, anyway. The newWoD of darkness has a neat mechanic that isn't really about alignments... yet it kinda functions in a similar way.
As for TV ethics, it depends on what TV you watch. I loved some shows where the question of good and evil is blurred or nonexistent. Everyone is their own hero.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, me too. I'm a huge fan of ambiguous morality (we kind of gave up using game alignments a while ago, at least for any practical purpose). As far as TV goes... yes, that's a little fluid (most HBO and Showtime shows I've seen are pretty good about it), but you watch almost any network TV show you're EVENTUALLY going to find some variation of "I'm obviously evil but if you're aggressive against me you're TOTALLY JUST AS BAD!"

I couldn't keep up with Lost...
I loved the end of Dollhouse, though. It really twisted the knife when it came to 'good' and 'evil'. I suspect that might be why it got canceled. Of course, most Whedon shows do get to that grayish morality. Same thing happened with BSG too.
You know, I think I might hate mainstream TV. I wonder what you'd call that...
Anti-Mainstream TV-ist?

Lost is very frustrating sometimes (hell, I almost gave up after the rash of crap that was the first few episodes of the third season), but the last couple seasons have been pure TV gold, and I keep getting the sense that we're about to see TREMENDOUS payoff for the constant blue-balling of the audience.
On the flip side (after pontificating about Lost for way too long), I HATE Joss Whedon. 
HAHAAA, so you've just gotten the Lost-love AND the Joss Whedon-rant in one comment. God, I'm sorry, I'm sure I'm ridiculously tiresome with my OPINIONS ABOUT TELEVISION.
(One I suspect we might agree on, though... have you ever seen Carnivale?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Carnivale is one of those I'm planning to watch, one of these days.
Um... I kinda like Whedon for his dialogue and one-liners, when he's involved with writing. Ahem.
Anyway, yeaaah. Carnivale is on my list. I kinda got pointed its way a while back.
However, have you seen Neverwhere?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I haven't... I've been kicking around the idea of seeing it, since I tend to enjoy stuff that Neil Gaiman's involved in (although I think his novels are his weakest work, incidentally, he's much stronger in a more restrictive format like short stories and comics). I haven't heard too much about Neverwhere, but what I DO hear tends to be pretty good so one of these days I'm bound to check it out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Neverwhere was interesting... in a sorta odd urban fantasy way. Plus it was british, so I kinda got suckered in by it.
Hmm. I stick like Gaiman's work, despite the format, because he can manage to put a twist in that I can't see coming. Same is true for Whedon. Both entertain me because they can misdirect me just enough to surpise the bajeebus outta me.

It looked like a grey, boring day, and suddenly there's sun outside and everything looks better.
Out-of-the-blue Malachi shirtless action is always needed and always more than welcome.
Now if you excuse me, I have some fangirly squeeing to do.

When all else fails, go with windswept! YEAH!
He's certainly a strapping brute, isnt he? I enjoy looking at him, and if I manage to tear my eyes away from his fine torso, I can enjoy his awesome profile. You seem to understand the dynamics of Profile and the proportions of the face extremly well (I always have a hell of a time with profiles...

Mph, thank youuuuu!!

Oh my gosh... isn't he sexy as hell? 
But the face... this awesome grinning face is the very best! 
Help me!

Huhuhuhu!! 
As far as who to draw... I'm happy with any picture of any of my guys. But Farael, I will admit, is my all-time favorite.

OH MY... I'm fond of almost all of those (except it's REALLY hard drawing Farael being silly... I've tried, and he only does it grudgingly, the boy is too serious for his own good
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*grin* Well... I'll come up with something nice for you I think. ^.^
Can you tell me a prefered couple of yours? I doesn't have to be a real relationship, it can also be sort of hate-love or just friendship. I'd just prefer to draw two characters. ^.^ Need some improvement in this.
Or do you prefer a single-sexy Farael? ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm. Well, Rian with ANYONE makes a decent couple because she's been with half the cast (at least, the attractive ones... >_<), and she and Farael are in love-love. Farael and Pirossa sorta-kinda hate each other but not really; they did fight each other when Pirossa almost tricked Rian into marrying him, but they're not exactly enemies per se. I've often wanted to see Farael and Malachi in the same picture together, for what it's worth... they're DEFINITELY not friends.
I don't know if any of that is remotely helpful. I hope it is!

Mmmalachi and his magic pants... oh that didn't come out right, did it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AND I DO VISIT YOUR HOT GUYS...
I want to play with Malachi's magic pants.
...in retrospect, I don't think that came out quite right either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, we could take Malachi's magic pants away from him...

*v* Maaaalaaaachi! I love your boys, especially Malachi. Aside from the OBVIOUS hotness, I love his ears and horns

YESSS, I've been having some serious Malachi-love lately. I'm really glad you like the torso muscles, I kinda-sorta made them up and I can't tell if they look convincing or not (
