Description Edit:The arm was ugly

"I'm sorry Kiddo…" He had heard in the warm darkness of the icon of his father. "I am proud."
-Chapter 11 Beloved Helpless, (Jao)

A Scene from 's Awesome Soul Eater fanfiction Beloved Helpless: Read it NOW

[link]

This is a spoiler to the fic but I think it's kinda ambiguous. So call it what you like. It's actually an interpretation of the scene,translated to more of an artistic way.

I was kinda sloppy with the coloring and drew this with little concern of certain details (like the failnatomy called KID'S ARM!). Actually I remember drawing this before the homecoming football game in a band practice room... funny associations. In the end with some experiments on lighting effects and texture I really enjoyed the results. I hope you do too. It was my sister's idea to put the text where it is. Object now if you don't like it, I'll change it.

If your really confused or can't infer the situation... read the fanfic...

Thank you again for letting me promote your concept once again. I personally enjoyed this to scene to the point where I couldn't get this image out of my head.

I started reading it last night and I love it so far! I only got to chapter 6 though because I almost fell asleep... But it's super good and I read a little this morning, so good!

I'm really glad I had a part in you reading it. It really helped refine my taste in fanfiction that's for sure. I think it's a standard that every Soul Eater fan should read. So I can't agree more!

The scene depicted is from that fic I linked in the description. For the sake of spoilers I won't say.

Ah! I was just talking to you and you didn't mention this! What an amazing surprise! I just. I don't know what to say. I-I'm gunna gather up a dollar and go get this printed out at the library I just. I'm going to come back and write a decent, coherent comment Wow. I. Thank you!

You're replies alway fill my head. Yet I enjoy every word. I'm glad I can just have fun drawing and bring happiness to others as well. Sad to say I don't have another in the sketch book but the inspiration still stands and the potential is on my fingertips.

OK, now that I've calmed down, I think I'm ready to write a decent comment.

The composition is so well thought out. The circle of the black cloak broken with the sharp, angular inward pointing shards of mirror draw your eye to the center. The round of the soul and the round outline of the blood completes the round, sharp, round pattern. The white floor sandwiched between the black of the cloak and the red and black of Kid again just holds command over the movement of the eye. There's a great deal of skill there! Amazing work.

The concept in the piece reflects so, so much that went on in that chapter. The careful positioning of the elements in the picture help show the emotions as well as construct a highly effective composition. The darkness of the cloak is similar to all the horrible things that are almost swallowing Kid at this point and the only light in the darkness is the glow, memory, and hope of that soul and all that that person had stood for (as well as the person inside of him). And Medusa's reflection, wow. This topic is one where I'm still a bit speechless. Concept and composition, all of it is amazing.

Kid himself, the details in him such as his knuckles and fingertips, it's amazing. His expression, his positioning, the downward perspective is always difficult.

-- The only thing wrong with his arm is that the upper part (shoulder to elbow) is a little too long for his torso. When you have a body that's in a slightly bent position, it's hard to judge in comparison to the torso, so it's super easy to have trouble. Typically, the upper arm section comes from the shoulder to the last ribs. (Check it out on yourself! ) And the lower arm, from elbow to wrist, is the same length. A hand when going to touch the same shoulder should just be able to rest the fingers on the shoulder up to the knuckles that connect to the palm. If you can imagine the drawing's whole hand resting on the shoulder, or matching up too short or too high, one of the sections is the wrong length. The upper section in this drawing is a little too long and our eyes are trained to see normal proportions (unless you're looking at Clamp...) and with the downward perspective and his current state, it does lend its self to the dislocated, therefore slightly out of place conclusion.

But given the circumstances in the story, it's not unplausable! And the error is so small and the skill in every other aspect in the image is so great that it does absolutely nothing to diminish the image.

I really, truly love this picture and it makes me smile when I see it-I mean, that you cared enough to draw it for me and help promote my story, not that poor, poor Kid is...ok, who am I kidding? Angsting up my favorite characters is a hobby of mine. So yes, utter joy and appreciation. Thanks for making my week, month ect. forever and ever

I'm so happy with your comment, it is both flattering and constructive! Those are the best kind. I will work with the approach you suggested on future pictures. Most of the time I draw something and don't notice the error till it's too late so that's always a little frustrating. I'm going to make sure I put a lot of careful time and effort on the next. It is truly my pleasure to draw these for you. I have no other way to vent my feelings for the awesome story you've composed. I love what you do and I do what I love for it. Give-Give situation!

Thank you so much!!!

Well damn, there is some sheer talent with composition here!!

It took me forever to notice the image of Medusa in the glass and when I did, I was intriged by it all over again. The texture and the colors are very well used.
True, his arm looks pretty awkward, amputated almost. But it's not too big of a distraction.

The type is very very well placed and I love the 'Help' in red. Bravo to you and your sister! Out of curiosity, what is the typeface?

Kitsoa In reply to Gin-kyo [2010-11-16 22:14:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. The arm bothered me too, so I fixed it to the best of my abilities. Hope that helps.

The typeface is 'Monaco' with a second layer motion blurred for effect. Glad to hear it was placed well.
