I thought I would take a little break from working on the first of my projects for WereDragon Magazine,and while on said break, I thought I would submit a few things before going back work. And I see that there is now an 'Original Characters' catagory on DA. It's about damned time!
I wanted play around with more a monochromatic colour scheme as well as draw Akumu's 'nommy hands' (as *screamin-jazzy calls them) in full detail. I also wanted to do a slightly dreamy/ghostly piece. So, using a picture of musician Tony Kakko (of Sonata Arctica and Northern Kings) as a pose reference, I played around with those ideas and this is what came of it, and I really love how it came out.
I swear, Akumu's facial structure is starting to resemble mine (albeit with a smaller forehead and poutier lips as opposed to my large forehead and thin lips). That's...just a little bit disturbing I have to admit. Oh well. That just makes him creepier, amiright?
Akumu's gonna get you!

....Nommy hands... lol
Creepy indeed, I kinda wanna poke a stick or something into that mouth.. I wonder how strong the bite is, I mean.. save for the ripping and tearing it could do with those teeth! -shudders-
But he's just so pretty XD

Ewww...that mouth would snap the stick in half and then Akumu would proceed to kill you until to died from it. Seriously. >.>;

Well, at least I found out... though I would died horribly for it. XD :/

Yeah, but you wouldn't die before being forced to relive your worst memories and nightmares. >.>;

Well... Fun stuff indeed... I suppose his name is 'nightmare' for a reason. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly why. Before he was turned, his named was "Yume." Ironic, huh.

nice, his green eyes are catching, I also love the idea with the mouth in the palm of his hand, really nice

Thank you so much. When I made this piece, I wanted to so something monochromatic, but with a single colour in there that contrasted with the rest of the piece. Akumu was the perfect subject to accomplish this. I'm glad you like it.

Thank you. I can't take credit for the ghosts though. They're actually a brush from *miss69-stock . ^.^;

Ewwww...he actually bites with those rather than kisses.

LOL, I know your charas are meanies. I just like to poke them by "making them 'do' cute stuff". *gives hand a lolly*

'Meany' is an understatement for Akumu here. He's one of my mythos' most dangerous vampires for a reason.

Actually, I got the idea for giving him mouths on his hands from Emplate, who was a villain in the Generation X comics. Akumu also has mouths on both hands.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed it's not. And unlike D, Akumu has mouths on both hands. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, they don't have tongues. They can drool though and 'swallow' (when taking blood).

I misread that is 'Happy Mouth-Land'
