Description I'd totally forgotten how much I loved this guy. OROCHI
I don't do much fanart these days, I find that it's more work because I go and look up references and I try to stick to what the character looks like and it doesn't work out and I get frustrated. Clearly, I'm just a lazy ass who should start on their "to draw: fanart" list already. It's really long.

This is a prize for , who won the contest in with this amazing entry [link] .

She asked for kid Orochimaru, and he kind of looks like a teenager... i'm sorryyyyyy i still hope you like it

He looks so young here in this picture. Flash back Orochimaru? Owo
Either way he's still as creepy as anything. I love the little snake wrapped around his arm~

OH GOOD, I was asked to draw him as a kid, and I missed a bit and I thought he looked a bit too teenager-like, but if you say he looks young then I'm happy.
Hahaa I always loved this guy, but yeah he is pretty creepy :'D. The snake was really fun to draw; thank you :>

He certainly does took like a young child. Back when he used to be 'good.' If that was ever possible. X'D
I lurves snakes a lot, I have my own that lives in my room.

:'> Thank you, I'm glad. And yeah, I think he was good, back in the day. But I also think what made him go bad was that he was just so much smarter than everyone else, and he found them boring - and since they were all 'good', he wanted to be away from that, and so ended up where he did.

YOU HAVE A PET SNAKE?!?! THAT'S SO AWESOME!! what does it eat?? :0

What you say does make sense. I just think he could have put his talents to much better use. Then again, if he had we wouldn't have the same villain as we do today.

Why yes I do. She eats frozen rats that I keep in my freezer. Though we let the defrost before we feed them to her.

Yeahh :'> he's certainly a unique villain.

Wowwwww - what's her name?? What sort of snake is she?? Do you buy the rats somewhere or do you have to catch them or what >_> that might be a really stupid question but I'm so curious about this, sorry and how big are the rats?? Are they like the massive black rats you see in the sewers?? Or are they smaller??

KirasDarkLight In reply to daithe [2011-12-20 06:46:39 +0000 UTC]

Unique is very much how I'd put it.

Her name is Asmadea. She is a Snow Corn [link] and looks almost exactly like that. As for her rats xD I buy them frozen and right now she only eats very young rats. They're not nearly as big as the wild rats, so no longer than 8 inches from nose tip to the end of their tail.

That's a really awesome name. And what a beautiful snake!!! I've never seen that type of snake before!! Does that mean she'll eat older, larger rats when she gets bigger/older?? Are rats the only things they eat? Are there other types of food you can give them?? Are snakes relatively easy to look after?? I'd really like to get a pet of my own once I graduate from uni and get a stable job, but I'm not entirely sure what sort of pet. And and have you been bitten by your snake?? sorry for all the questions lol

No worries about the questions, I'd love to help. ^_^
I got the name from the Book Redwall where the snake in the book is called Asmodeus, which means 'the devil' in something... Hmmmmm... Any way I basically feminized it as she is a girl. Asmadea is a Snow Corn, their patterns are all very similar to the picture I show you. Though some do not get as bright a yellow siding as she or that picture has. (I really should upload a pic of my snake...) She can grow to be around 6 feet in length, currently mine is about 5 feet. Though she's difficult to measure cause she never straightens out. x'D When they're smaller you feed them baby mice called pinks and move upwards from there to young mice, adult mice, baby rats, and then if they get really big maybe young rats. But corn snakes of all breeds hardly ever get up to adult rats. You can also by these special sausage links made of some different kinds of meat, but mice and rats are the vest way to go. And always get the frozen kind if you feed them live food it make them more violent and prone to biting you.

If you'd really like to get a snake I would recommend the Corn, Garter, Barn snake or Ball Python. Though Corns are easiest to purchase. Ball pythons only get to be around 2-3 three feet long and they bite when you first get them. You can easily teach them not to bite but getting them to bite on a pen and gently squeezing their jaw on it. Do this several times and you'll teach it not to bite. The Barn and Garter I'm not so sure about, but they shouldn't bite until they older, same with the Corn. Though the chance of them biting you are lowered the more you handle them when they are young. Young being for about the first 10 years of their life. Corn snakes can live between 15-25 years all depending on how you treat them, just as it is with any pet. If you do get a snake of any kind, and if it's going to get long, then start with a smaller tank. Once it's outgrown that tank get a bigger one (I'd tell you the size of mine but I don't remember I'll have to ask my rat supplier cause he'd know) and it should last you for the rest of their life.

Oh another thing, find a breeder to buy from. Do NOT buy from a pet store. First of all the breeder will know so much more about how to treat your snake, secondly it's much cheaper. If you have any other questions I'd love to answer them. ^_^ I know a fair bit about snakes, Corn in particular, of feel free to ask. Sorry for such a long reply. x'D

No I've never been bitten by Asmadea. I don't associate my hand with her at all when she's feeding therefore she does not see my hand as food. I'm also really nice to her so she's never gotten mad at me.
