Description I guess you could consider this the companion piece to this: [link]

I don't think I'm supposed to want them to be together, but a part of me is like, "Come on, Miska! So what if he's a homicidal android who wants domination over your mind and body? He's hot!" And then I feel ashamed, because that's such a Twilight mentality.

It's so weird to be submitting something completely traditional--and in color! Or submitting anything, for that matter, but I digress. I'm sort of torn about how it turned out. I really love the outlining/inking, to the point that I may ink everything traditionally rather than in the computer, even when I color digitally. There's more of an organic feel to it.

But in regards to the coloring, I'm not sure I care for colored pencils. The colors I had were rather limited for what I wanted/needed, which is why Miska's eyes are green rather than hazel and Mal's hair is more gray. It was a nice change of pace, and I may do more drawings in colored pencils, but I don't think I'd make a permanent switch.

This is very true. I think he'd rather die than sparkle.

Life has been wonderful. Sure, I get kicked and tossed and I do have my share of troubles, but at least I'm putting up with this along side the woman I love, so the problems are not that big, really.

And I see you've been enjoying this break with gusto, huh?

Greatkingrat88 In reply to ilovemybishies87 [2011-07-27 21:03:40 +0000 UTC]

True, true... but if Mal was prone to angsting and saying what a monster he was and how he doesn't deserve to be with her... he'd actually be right.

Something like... oh I dunno, half a year?

LOL! Yeah, but--thankfully?--he'd only not care, but he'd be proud of the fact that he's a monster.

Too long.

He's got this Alucardian, wholly unapologetic capacity for violence that makes him a better vampire than Eddykins by far, fangs or no fangs.

I missed you, I'll have you know.
