Description LINK TO DECEMBERSVILLE STORY --> [link]

Good krazzing maggot-skinned lawdy, I drew this after the night I dreamed I was drowning, but.... but... what the bloody hell does ZERO have to do with drowning? W-what, is it because he could not SWIM? Because he's got those big bloody never-the-same-size ax hands o' his? WOT IS THIS MADNESS?

What a schlemiel my noggin could be.

I am rambling due to what I lack saying about this piece; all I could say is that it is Zero, one of the central characters of Decembersville, standing around in his strange but usual position with that optimistic smile on his face, surrounded by... firefly/light glimmer dazzles~

AND THE DAHLING GREW UP IN STYLE AS TIME FLEW, RIGHT!? LOOK AT HIM TWO YEARS AGO!
This spews awesomeness compared to that bloody doodle of WHUT.
Yet... he's always standing awkwardly like he got stuck doing a pelvic thrust.
And his personality has not changed. I know its bloody stuuuupid to have a clean-hearted character dripping optimism and hope for they come off as wussy and cliche but... I like Zero like this. That's who Zero is. He is a clean kiddo.

Also you have creepy hand-axe things. and I think you could probably swim, because they'd make pretty decent paddles... and also if you're strong enough to even move them then you should be able to propel yourself forward. Or something.

Also I like your shoes. And am wondering if you're wearing a dress. And I want your hat.

ZERO IS AWESOME!!!! SagmooreCottage and I are making a parody to "Dynamite" for Decembersville. (It's official! We're addicted!) Line from the song: "I'm gonna huggle him untill he dies, screamin eh oh, I LOVE YOU, ZERO!!!"

ADSJFK I want to steal his shoooooes. And his hat. Totally his hat.

He really does look simply amazing~

You drew him after dreaming about drowning? Weeeeell, who ever said your mind had to make sense? Not making sense is better than making sense. 'Cause you can confuse people. It's like, a super power or something. 8D

Maybe he's stuck in pelvic thrust 'cause his axe hands are weighing his shoulders down and making him bend like that?

I love how you mixed up colors in this...purple and blue shaded bits and orange-yellow light, I mean. It makes everything breathe..makes things seem so Decembersville.
Aww, and Zero's so sweet, as usual. He's changed from 2 years ago, and yet he's exactly the same!

He's got no sense of self-preservation. Until after the fact that he's just screwed himself over...
But he ish loved anywayz~
And he's not cliche; someone needs to have some optimism!

I use inky pens to draw and ink the characters, but for shades I use crayola crayons and just lately I got the hang of Prismacolor markers to make special effects.

CountANDRA In reply to DeidarasMine [2011-02-27 16:18:30 +0000 UTC]

It looks like a dress when his legs are close like that, but he's really wearing a one-piece outfit and the bottom is separated into shorts. ^^ They are just very wide, so when together they look like a dress.

Dude... I love Zero!

I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU WERE GOING TO POST THIS! Because wasn't this your avatar for like, a day? I was like "HNNNNG I dont remember that picture!"

Zero's such a cutie though. And let's face it. With all the cannibals and vultures and loonies and vampires and, uh, whatever the hell other weirdoes classify as, we need an optimistic hopeful means-well person!

CountANDRA In reply to Wreven367 [2011-02-27 16:36:39 +0000 UTC]

LAWL LMAO ROFLCOPTER, you still remember that darn avvie? XD OH man, I never made so many avatar switches in one day; then I landed on me looking like a messy-haired derp, so that one stuck around while poor Zero was kicked out.

And you are right, man. I mean, I explain Zero's personality to folks and they are like "Wow. What a cliche and boring character." Kind of peeves me to say but not EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER has to be a jackass, you know? Not every single character has to be obnoxiously energetic, random, badass, over-the-top, or a jerk. Zero is a good guy because that's just who he is; he was raised to be sweet and he's just a great friend. Can't argue with that, right? XD

Wreven367 In reply to CountANDRA [2011-02-27 18:30:44 +0000 UTC]

XD I remember! I never actually saw it when you had it, but other people have it in their artist comments or whatever.

YEAH. It gives some balance and some contrast. To be honest, for some reason I like to compare Chima and Zero to eachother, because to me, they seem like counterparts. Opposites, as it were. One is infallibly good, the other is just so flawed.
BUT I LOVE ZERO! His attitude is so adorable! Even while he's in a city that's in so much despair, he's still a nice, sweet, happy guy!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

CountANDRA In reply to Wreven367 [2011-02-27 18:42:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I find that REALLY strange because that means that avatar Zero is lying around somewhere, abandoned and waiting to come back and kick my arse for revenge. But then I'll realize that he's just a pixelized box and toss 'im into the recycle bin then press "empty recycle bin" 'cause even though he's thrown away he'll just be taking up unnecessary space.
Love ya, Zero. c:

Dude, you are doing the thing I've been hoping most readers would do; comparing Zero and Chima together, which is why I make them hold a sparking relationship between one another - a sort of grudge. Which doesn't give folks a reason to bloody PAIR THEM UP, but hey, let them have their fun. In the later half of the story their relationship becomes more clear to the reader; one is good, the other is flawed. Like mirror reflections, almost. XD

XD I have no idea when Imma change my avatar. I love it too much. If I do change it, it'll be like, for a week or so, before I put it back. My friends have gone through so many avatars, while I just... Kept mine. I dunno. I'm lazy that way.

YAAAAY! For once I WAS RIGHT ABOUT SOMETHING without being a dumbass!

I love character tensions, and especially 'uneasy friendship', like when Person A HAYTES Person B, but B keeps either being ridiculously nice, or ridiculously tolerant of Person A's being a tool.

... But I really love contrasting characters. It's actually the main focus of The Town that people dont pay attention to until I tell them. Ever wonder why the chapters flipflop between Tally and Bela? YEAH.

CountANDRA In reply to Wreven367 [2011-02-27 18:57:40 +0000 UTC]

Ah! BUT if you ever DO plan to change your avatar, then just tell me and I could direct you to this epic website that could crop and shrink and resize and awesomeize ANYTHANG YOU WANT. You could even use one of your pictures as an avvie and all. ^^ IF ya ever plan to do it, then just say so and I could direct ya to the website or help you out WOTEVAH YEW WANT, DAAAAHLING.

And dude, you AIN'T A DUMBASS! You are... eccentric. :3

And... honestly, Wrev, that's what I ALWAYS figured about the Town. I mean, its not only about good vs evil, right vs wrong, its about contrasts; such as between Tally's situation on the light side vs Bela's situation on the dark side. How they clash, how they fight, how there's so much contrast in action yet such comparison in certain aspects. Its like a black-and-white coffee cookie, really. XD

Sweet! Thanks, man!

XD I was last year! Admit it... I was pretty obnoxious and barely knew what I was talking about. And magically, on my 14th birthday, I grew myself... A PENIS!
...
Just kidding. I grew myself a brain. Although the distinction between the two doesnt seem as sharp as it used to be.

Really? Like, I didn't really have to tell you? THATS AWESOME IT MEANS IM DOING A GOOD JOB!
...
A theme I will explore later though, and Im telling you because you'll probably like this- Tally goes through various villains. Hallo, Kiki (last minute guy, you haven't met him), Bela, *spoiler person*, *more spoiler people*, and surprisingly, NOT Maybella! Anyway, the theme is, she learns something from each of these people. Like with Kiki, she learns to 'take the high road.'
