Description Hello hello!!
I was a little rushed in finishing this up as the challenge deadline is fast approaching (sorry to my commissioners who I put on a one day hold... I will get back to it and your commissions will be done soon!!!)

I have a few moments before I have to zip off to work to explain this piece. This is for `touchedvenus 's Red and Blue winter OC contest. What it means is that the colour palette is restricted to the red and blue colour scales (you can dive into greys and white and black but that's the only give) I used 2 different blues one closer to cyan and the other more like a bordering indigo kind of blue line. red was red... and then greys of course to sort of blend it up nicer. it may look a tad unnatural but I thought it's perfect for what I want to portray.

Wish me luck!!

The scene for those interested:
Kyo's had a few memory black outs and never quite knew what went on. Most of the time it's better off that way as they are memories that one would rather not have... such as this one, That cold bleak winter in which her mother died and the impending beating from one she thought was her father. These memories come back to her in form of nightmare occasionally and that's where the warped colours come in.

For those of you who may know a bit about my twins you may wonder why I talk of Kyo when you might be thinking it's Kiku here... but Kiku's actually the girl outside freezing with a shiriken thinking "think, think, think" as she tries to sort out a way to save the day. Back in the day, Kyo and Kiku shared identical hair cuts to hopefully make it so that no one could tell them apart. they lived separate lives and it was important to make sure that Kiku's existence remained unknown so in case mom wanted quality time with Kiku people had to think she was Kyo... at least at fleeting glance.

but that's a tangent. This happens at the point when the Mob boss finds out that Kyo is not his and that his darling and favourite prostitute was not exclusively his as per arrangements....The gorgeous corpse of a woman is Kyo mother... She was the first victim.... Kyo walks into this scene when the damage was done... He moves on to get ready to deal with the next victim...

Kyo begs for her life: "Daddy, please stop! Mommy... Daddy you're scaring me stop!!"

But well he thinks it's a ploy and might have been a tad drunk...

How she gets out of this well it'll be a story for another time as I don't think many are actually all that curious XP not to mention I may just make a side comic of it all as a tangent to WitS.

Anyways enjoy and feel free to ask~~

Wtf, I'm interested in the story! You cut it off at the right time though- more suspense!

So that's how their mother died. I'm a bit confused about this part though: "Back in the day, Kyo and Kiku shared identical hair cuts to hopefully make it so that no one could tell them apart. they lived separate lives and it was important to make sure that Kiku's existence remained unknown so in case mom wanted quality time with Kiku people had to think she was Kyo... at least at fleeting glance."

Hahaha cliff hanger! well then you're the first to actually tell me so. though no fears I'll go on in more detail about this story eventually... that is once I get off my lazy ass.

Oh what it meant was that the girl in the foreground is Kyo. because in almost all my other drawings Kyo has shorter and choppier hair. so I wanted people to know that there was a time when the twins were practically as identical as fraternal twins can be... (but if one looks closely it's actually not the case)

Kiku's the one outside.

The reason why at that time they were near identical is so that no one would know that there were twins... because everyone only knew of Kyo and Kiku was raised in hiding. XP

When i first saw this it looked like a guy riding a broom in the nude >.< but when i clicked on it I saw it was a hand and I was like wow this is something really sad T.T. It's very good! I love the expressions and I hope that they can get away from him

HHAHA that's great! oh first impressions XD (guy straddling a broom in the nude is a must see hahaha)

Thanks! >.< I can say that Kyo does get away... with Kiku's help... Their mother.. well sadly not. I'll need to get to that point in the story to fully explain how.

Ack! Big, deep drama! It can be hard to draw big scenes like this. the dad looks really intimidating because we can only see one huge threatening arm - how on earth can Kyo get out of this one, as I imagine such a brute probably doesn't care much for mercy... very excellently done!

I don't do them much for that very reason >.<
I was wondering how to get the feeling across while really showing the whole scene >.< this worked best (also spared me from drawing out his tats XP )

He is most definitely NOT merciful but as for how she escapes I do want to get to that in the comic eventually... or I may illustrate more of Kyo's life while I'm on a Kyo kick.

You could always do a Kyo side comic if you wanted. I knew she'd get away (as it obvs doesn't end there) but it would be fun to see how.

KuriosiT-kat In reply to Larissa-Bright [2012-03-10 15:02:21 +0000 UTC]

Well the way I set up WitS it's more like a compilation of side comics that sort of have one line tying it together. Hence the pretty much exclusive Zara chapter. there will be more on her later...

seeing as the trouble is that I'm not much of a story teller... but rather a character creator. I like making new characters and having them in my head. They talk but I don't write well or master any language so when it all translates to writing it well doesn't work too well... I do know that Kyo exclaims in made up words or borrowed words from old... her favourites are "Zounds the others have their own quirks. like Mak likes old words too... but usually of the longer and well "sophisticated" nature. he finds me "irksome"...

But yes the story does not end here hehe but I'll need to get to it to properly tell it. and I shall once I have more time... probably most likely when I'm off on vacation next week. We'll see.

I always think that if you are more of a character creator it's best to have a really loose central narrative with lots of side stories. That way you play to your strengths and remain happy! I'm not an amazing storyteller myself - characters always come first with me - but I've got practice with stories so I manage.

I was hoping so when I started WitS we'll see what comes out of it XP

but I find you are an excellent story teller! I'm really loving TT! like REALLY. I'm more hooked on it than on any other story at the moment!

Aww bless, thank you - I am not the most original storyteller but it's the personal touches that make things interesting IMO! There are no original plots still untold, really.

That's what I figured, almost any story that is told has been told already but it's what you make of it , sort of the little things that come together and make it just right ^v^
