Description I scanned this ages ago, and I think I forgot to post it...

Thinking back, I think this is the first time I've actually uploaded a picture of this character. His name is Damien, and he's probably my weirdest character. His mother died when he was a baby and left him with his superstitious, violent father and the doll he carries. As he got older, he began to claim to hear the doll speaking to him, telling him that it knew a way to bring his mother back. When his father found out, he immediately fashioned an impromptu straightjacket out of a t-shirt and some belts, threw his son in the basement, and locked the door. No one in the town they lived in saw him again until five years later, when a few people claimed to have seen a little boy with a doll walking past their windows.

His father was found dead the next morning.

The incident became a local talking point for some time. No one ever found out whether the doll actually spoke to him, or whether he was just insane. Some even speculated that he had starved to death in that basement, and that what they saw that night had been a ghost, or even a corpse posessed by this supposedly magical doll.

Which is true?

You'll just have to guess. Because I'm not going to say anymore because it'll start revealing too much of my plot. :<

Thank you! The details of the concept have changed some since I drew this, but the basics are the same.

WHO OWNS THAT MANY BELTS

Um, I'm drawing your commission, and I have to ask

WHAT is going on with that shirt? Like, how does he get his arm out like that?

Is there a rip in the shirt, or is the shirt waaay too big and he can get his arm/head out of the head hole?

'Cause I have a shirt I can do that with. :B

Anyways, yeah. Don't want to ink it until I'm sure.

It's a really big neckline- part of it is held up by the belt around his neck, but the rest just kinda falls open over his shoulder, which is how he got his arm out.

In spite of the uber-detail, the wings still look fluffy and white (or close to, at any rate)--and so few can pull that off. Awesome, Avi. <3

I think I have fallen in love with this picture. So much detail has been added and the color scheme just ties it all together. I love the story also, a little twilight zony. I can't wait for more.

avi17 In reply to Eiian [2007-05-14 05:22:27 +0000 UTC]

Heh, he's actually completely colorblind and partially light-blind (means he can't see color or much detail- only blurry, black and white and grey shapes). That's why his eyes look like that, but the description was already wordy enough that I didn't bother mentioning it. XD

Heh, but thanks. ^^
