Description During his childhood, Pain would come and visit him all the time. She taught him how to dance. At first Sergei was afraid, but after a while, he grew to welcome to her. They would dance when the moon was full, and share their stories. She would look after him and bring him comfort. Now, Pain is Sergei's only friend.

I love how your personification of Pain looks so much like how I picture Pele, Hawaiian Volcano Goddess. The aura she gives off is much more comforting though, strangely enough. I love the VERY graphic-illustration feeling of this. The start grey-scale and red. The way their lines intertwine into one mass and yet still so bold, spirited and defined. Amazing.

hey... didya know that is an actual song, sung by the addams family?

"my nose
caught in your left cabaret love
i can feel the pain yet, love
every time i hear drums
and i envy the rose
that you held in your teeth dear
with the thorns underneath, dear
biting into your gums"

I love the clear-cut shading, subtle colors, and wonderful style!!! what did you use for the flames though? they seem to be a little off... maybe some yellow/ orange would help... or maybe a soft blue would be entrancing

Wow, nice...well everything! This is kinda like I pictured them when hearing that song.

And make me scream in pain,
Then kick me once Again,
And say we'll never part..."

The tendrils of smoke and fire are real nice. I like his expression, very pissed, and I can't even begin to explain the expression of Pain. I really like the concept of an emotion in anthro form, very seductive. ^^

Oh my...I didn't know Sergei was a masochist. ^_^U

I like the scary look in his eyes; Pain seems quite frightening but entrancing, no? I like Pain's design, and teh fire behind them.

Poor Sergei has all these wounds... O__O *wants to hug him even those he's a baddie*

Oooh....I want a print.

I really do. Someone give me a print of this :-p

NOW!

Style reminds me of..oh blah, can't remember his name, the fellow who made Invader Zim and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

This is fantastic.
Use of colour, style of drawing, linework, characters..the idea..theme...all is grand :-D
