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.

This? Is fucking brilliant. My god, you've got the sort of anime shapes combined with hard, deep lines. The shading's fantastic.

I would kill to know how to draw like this.

spider-monkey [2003-05-07 21:42:06 +0000 UTC]

well, im sure he's band aid brands best friend.
this is fantastic, tessa. it definitely deserves a spot in DTF. the composition and all is neato. i like the effect of the flames, and the i like how you personified his pain (or his masochistic side) with the chick. or at least that seems like what you did. unless PAin is a literal character and im just missing something.
anywhoo... i love pain's face, and her hair... and just yeah. the expression on sergei's face. he looks so mellow, and entranced, i dunno, its just cool. and once again, your styled simplistic line work is chocolate for the eyes. oh, and te flames look neato, did i mention that yet?
keep pumpin this stuff ut, and ill ocntinue to praise you.
go ninja go!
oh wait! another note! sergeis hands look grand, along witht he smoke spewing form the cigarette, and him all sucking the blood on his finger.... COOLNESS.

Very cool. I'm very picky about what art I put in my favorites place. I like your style; it doesn't seem like it's trying to hard to impress or look good or whatever.
The theme is realistic too, so it's believeable.
Beautiful.

by far one of the better, more intriguing songs that exist. i worship you if you indeed know it and reference to it.
i like this. a lot. it seems somehow different than all the others... the shape of her face. the feel. her eyes. i love her hair, the markings, his red bandages.

Sorry about the "Somewhat Like Deviation," I wasn't paying attention. It' 5:02 am. Tell me that's a tatoo on his chest? Uber cool.

fela [2003-05-07 10:01:40 +0000 UTC]

This one's getting a fav, if for no other reason than the title- is that my fault? No, it'd be Kika's, for that stupid fanfic challenge. EddiexVoy, baby. Karaoke.

Except that that's NOT the only reason it's a favorite. The line work is very neat, and the whole picture looks under control. It has the feel of "I told you damn lines what to do, and you did it. Good lines. You get a bagel." I like this one a lot. Sergei needs a hug.

i can relate to that somehow....you get comfortable w/ pain..be it physical or emotional...after a while its the only thing that lets you know youre alive....
yes that may sound a lil scary but its true...

very well drawn, i like his tattoo
