"I can't live this way. "

"Killing in the name of a liar, suffering in the name of a father...breathing for nothing more than a moment's peace. If I could break these chains, I'd do it with more than my hands...If I had wings...I'd let them take me where I can't see this world and all of its lies...to a place of purity."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pardon that bit of angstXD Just my half-angel, Melakim looking mean. He's really a nice guy, honest! He just needs a good swift, kick in the butt sometimes before he realizes what he has. I wanted to show off those non-existent wings of his with this pic. He doesn't have wings, per say. They're made of shadow and only really exist as part of his aura (the spiritual presence around his body). I'm hoping one day he'll learn how to actually use them. Scattered around his feet lie the feathers of the angels he killed as a young Hunter, the orange feathers belonging to the fire angel which killed his serrogate father, Cien, who turned out to be nothing more than a demon raising a mortal child for the amusement. That's the very same fire angel who gave him those scars, as well. I'm feeling writerish so you might actually see a story involving this guy soon.

He's actually my rpg character for ~Tenebra-club. Go check it out if you want to find out more about the world of Tenebra and the other characters there. (They are not open for joining, though.)

11"x14". Prismacolor Marker and Prismacolor Color Pencil. 14 hours (equivalent to 2 weeks of lunch hours and work shifts and a day off.)

Hehaha, I bluey! xD (Aussie term for red-head... ironically... 0o ) I like the menacing glare, especially the blind eye. His hair can only be defined as excellent to me. ^_^ The wings look awesome, especially with that bluish-sort of aura. It really balances out the picture. ^^

The detail is great, especially with the scarring and the tattoo. For some reason, I love the way he's holding that feather. ._o;; Maybe I have a thing for men holding feathers... >>;;

And 14 hours? Most of my pictures take a maximum of 8-10 hours. 0o;; No wonder my pictures are so under-detailed. xD

AHAHA...a guy-with-feather fetish? That'd be a new one on meXD At first he didn't have that in his hand..but then it kinda...got drawn there for some reason. I wanted that hand to be doing something so a feather got put in it. I'm glad you like the hair, I was afraid I made it too....floofy in the front..or too flat and greasy looking..though it IS supposed to be all shiny and silky. Gotta love that angelic hairXD

If you think this one took a long while...the Tala and Oug and Archangel Uriel pics took me months for EACH one.O_O IT's really hard to work on something for that long cuz I'm easily distracted by new ideas...but if you can get yourself to work for that long concetrating on details, almost 100% of the time it will pay off in the end.:nod:
