Description I am cruelly aware of all the mistakes in this, the excess of the curve in the light in particular, but given how today and yesterday have been for me I'm choosing to disregard them.
I've never been one to draw "sad pictures" when I'm upset (I used to do the occasional "angry" picture when I was younger, but I grew out of that.. ah, puberty), normally I'll draw something happy to cheer myself up. I wasn't quite up to doing that this time, so apologies for the change of pace. I won't go into the details, but I'm going through a rough patch; I'd much rather talk about Xee, anyway c:

The Xeeva depicted here is the one you're soon going to be stuck with, and she will make it a chore for you to feel sorry for her... but you probably should, anyway. Her hormones finally got her, so to speak.. and she’s having a little trouble sorting out her feelings (whilst doing herself no favours by being intensely self-critical of her sudden vulnerability, as it’s so far removed from the stoic approach to life she's always had and valued).

Aside from this picture being a venting outlet for me, I really do need to draw Xeeva more, and propose a little evidence that she does actually have more than one facet to her personality xD

I’m going to go have some therapeutic vegemite toast now.



It really wasn't a good idea for me to attempt to make a picture with lighting, perspective and a CAT when I was so emotionally compromised ... I like the line-art so maybe I'll try colouring it again some other time... maybe..

Maybe it is.. D:

(is your cat mean-spirited and fond of eating ill-gotten goldfish? Because if so.. maybe it really is your cat)

Aw, poor Xeeva. I'll feel bad for you, even if I might simultaneously think you're being a jerk. *patpat*

VivaLaLintu [2009-12-11 23:06:46 +0000 UTC]

I think you did the perspective really well, actually. Best I've seen in a long while, anyway. And the cat too. xD It makes me want to cuddle it. Or Xee. But I'm pretty sure that one'd hurt me.

All that aside, I hope thing start to get better for you soon. I know I just got out of a rough patch..they suck. Hope you start feeling better soon, babe.

I hope you'll feel better soon, Abby. And the picture is wonderful. It caught me by the heart to see Xee like this. She looks just as tragic as her brother.

I do like the light in this one! And the cat is absolutely magnificent! And Xeeva too. I actually really love this one, it's very very good!

Best of luck to you with your "rough patch"

Oh, here you can really see she is somewhat modeled on Tatiana!

I'm sorry for you dear...

Aye, they have similar emotional breakdowns xD ... only Xeeva doesn't mellow out completely after just one.. or mellow out completely ever, really

GothicBlackAngel In reply to Eeba-ism [2010-02-08 13:10:08 +0000 UTC]

A point for Xeeva! I can stand Tatiana even less when she becomes all "good girl", she was way better as a cold but badass soldier.

*hugsies for whatever's wrongsies*

This is really beautiful. The focus effect is awesome, in the old sense of the word, not the internet sense. Also, I want to hugsy her too.

muffinpoodle [2009-12-11 05:49:15 +0000 UTC]

I think it's beautiful. I adore that kitty...
This may sound weird but I really love the colours of the wall. Not even the strip of light, just the wall... *stares at it* o_____o

Absail, I won't ask you what's troubling you, but I offer you hugs. Hugs? I really hope whatever it is clears up for you soon. I don't like thinking about you being sad. :c
HUUUUGSSSS

If she wouldn't bite my head off and y'know fictional, I'd totally give her a hug

TatsukiChan1994 [2009-12-11 05:04:50 +0000 UTC]

it's very beautiful, hun! this is why Xeeva was one of my favorite characters from the moment i started reading MC, she has a personality that you have to search for. and i had a feeling she wasn't just a cold-hearted bitch! XD

also, i love the cat! and you know, cats seem to do that, too. they sort of know when your upset and whatnot. almost anytime i start crying my cat comes and lays down next to me.

and i like how the light is curved, it gives the piece a sort of question to wonder about like.....is the door curved? XD

lol....long comment is long.

imaginaryending [2009-12-11 04:52:19 +0000 UTC]

Well, whatever you think about it, I think this is GORGEOUS. I actually really like the curve of the light. It adds a surreal and more saddening effect to the pic. Also, the cat is PHENOMENAL. In other words +Fav.

I hope you feel better soon. I really, really do. You rock so hardcore.

I like the not-so-correctness of it. It's more conceptual c:

The-Wall-flower [2009-12-11 04:34:45 +0000 UTC]

First, I'm sorry about the rough patch. I hope you feel better soon/handle whatever's going on.

Second, hormones suck. Why hasn't someone kicked hormones ass yet?

Third, yay, Xeeva art! : D I'd like to see more art featuring her. She comes across as, well, as you wrote, stoic, but also pretty defensive. Which just makes me determined to see what she's got so hidden and locked away behind that thick shell. >D More art might help with some deciphering.

Fourth, and I know this is a little out of nowhere, but the colour scheme and the fact that the room is so empty really emphasizes the distressed and lonely atmopshere. It's sweet that a cat is keeping her company. :> Cats are so subtle with their affection sometimes.

Lady-Az [2009-12-11 04:32:19 +0000 UTC]

Wow, I think this came out absolutely beautiful! I love the lighting, despite any mistakes you think you've made- it works nonetheless. And it's nice to see some vulnerability in Xeeva.

*hugs* I hope things turn around for you and you start feeling better soon. <3

As a piece on its own, this is great. For something done when you're out of it, it's amazing.
