Description Yup, more ASP fanart for your enjoyment.

Poor thing...I made him look so sad. I guess you can say he looks either curious or scared too, but I think it's apparent that he's a depressed little creature in this pic.



Anyway, I spent waaaaay more time making the background than I did Asp. I ultimately went for the Weltunter/Aus Der Tiefe-esque theme with the teal green tiles. Additionally, in order to capture that eerie "Dunkle Turm" feeling, I went ahead and used some stock textures and a whole lotta photoshop brushes . I think it turned out okay for the most part.
Der Schwarze Schmetterling on the other hand, I've noticed now a couple of flaws after coloring him in. Some of the edges around his foot and arm are not supposed to be that blurry, GUH! I couldn't correct it after I merged the layers. His middle finger is also supposed to be way longer. And surprisingly, I ended up making him look younger then what I originally intended. That's what I get for using Nyu as a pose reference. Nyu nyuuuuu!

Hope all of you like it.

I'm also submitting this to 's song contest. The song that crosses my mind the most when I look at this is "Tiles". *gasp* who knew?

Yeah, it was kind of an accident at first since I wasn't sure how to use some of the photoshop brushes I had available to work with. I was certainly surprised when they actually worked by using the butterfly effect on the ground. Haha.

Gawd, I forgot how old this pic was. *looks at the date* Almost a year! But it seems almost yesterday when I worked on this thing. You ever get that feeling? ._. "
Anywho, thankies!
It's not one of my all-time favorites from ASP (I personally prefer the jacked-up version of this song...aka Coming Home) but it works. Haha.
I still need to revise how he looks. He for some reason looks too much like a little kid. lol

LadyBlue-Art In reply to German-Blood [2010-03-21 03:51:05 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh yes. I do indeed!

OH! I like Coming Home! I didn't realize there were two different versions! O_O
He does seem a bit younger... but that would be a good portrayal, don't ya think? Innocent and scared...

German-Blood In reply to LadyBlue-Art [2010-03-29 00:17:00 +0000 UTC]

lol Well, I consider Coming Home as like a second version to the song Tiles. Tiles came first in the second album, and then when I heard Coming home in the fifth album I was like... It's almost the same thing! Good God he's recycled his old song choruses and made it seem like new!
Haha.

I like the texture on the tiles, and how much it makes him stand out against them.

Likewise, how he's cowering in the corner while the viewer stands over him - is he being threatened? Will the viewer hurt him more, or deliver him from his suffering?

So many questions!

Viel Gluck auf dich!

(would put the umlauts over the u in "Gluck", but I'm on a Mac, which automatically fails, but is even more frustrating because I can't alt-punch the accents on letters with it!!!)

German-Blood In reply to Otacon144 [2009-07-01 02:30:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for the positive critique good sir! lol

Personally, I think it could be a mixture of both peering up with curiosity, and cowering in fear from the viewer. (I know it's supposed to be a rhetorical question, but I felt like answering back )

Haha Vielen Dank!

lol Glad you like the outcome of the textures and all. At first I was afraid of ruining the walls with too much texture and black stains. Thankfully I haven't got any bad feedback yet. Hehe.

It's a pretty interesting song. Very techno-ey in it's own way, but nevertheless, it's catchy and kinda makes you wanna dance at the same time.
You're welcome.

Ohhhhhh GAWD that sucks big time ass!

I'm really sorry to hear that I know how difficult AP courses are...but geez man I don't know what to say.

The only thing I can suggest is try and keep your mind refreshed as much as you can with the material you learned, and wait take it over next year. Cheer up. It should be a piece of cake until then right? Two years of studying and you'll be certain to get a definite 5!
Until then, just keep your mind off of it and enjoy your summer for what it's worth. You deserve a break from your effort anyhow.

I am such a dissapointment to her. In the class too I'm behind. Plus she just gave birth to a kid...if that does anything, I don't know.

I phailed.

German-Blood In reply to Sahkmet [2009-05-12 17:59:15 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure she understands though. Whether she has a kid or not, it would be reasonable for her to know it was an honest error in date registration. Was it anybody's duty to tell you when signing up for AP exams were, or was it just information given to you at the beginning of the year and the teachers expect you to remember it by the end of the term?

Sahkmet In reply to German-Blood [2009-05-12 18:10:04 +0000 UTC]

Well if I was doing the classes in a school, the school would have already registered me. However this year hasn't been well and then I, since the class is geared to a school-ground not at home....not...reminded...AT ALL.
