Description Sent straight from heaven up above
Came an angel for me to love
To hold and rock and kiss good night
To wrap my arms around him tight

To adore & cherish and watch him grow
To guide and teach him all that I know
To see him through good times & help him through bad
To share in his happiness and cry when he's sad

To hold him close and be by his side
To watch him through life as my heart fills with pride
To help him with decisions, the best that I can
To know that someday he'll be a fine young man

"With his badly scarred face, his gruesome suture, his eerie yellow eyes, and his droopy goatlike ears, Lucio might be far from being a perfect-looking son to anyone. Adeline knew that the first time she saw him. She also knew that if given a choice, every parents would rather have a normal baby for themselves; pink little ears, rosy red cheeks, soft baby curls, joyful pair of rounded eyes. But children are angels sent from heaven to her, all children, and even without asking she could already guess the painfully timid little boy had been deprived of love perhaps for all his youth. And when she took him into her life, she was fully ready to give Lucio a chance to know that someone loved him, cared for him, accepted him as he was, and for the first time in his life he would be someone's little angel."

The entire scene is adorable to me.Β  It's sad when children are shunned for something that isn't their fault, so I love the fact that this woman loves the child anyways.Β  The child (Lucio?) looks upon her with trepidation, like he's scared to let her in, and she just showers him with unconditional love, simply because he's a child and he needs it.Β  I love the concept of it all, and it makes me feel all warm inside, thus, it's absolutely adorable~!Β  *^_^*

I hope that made sense.Β

That did make sense! ^_^ In fact, I'm glad that someone finally saw the message that I tried to convey through this picture. It was a big step for both of them, and I, too, love the concept so much that I put this artwork on my front page since I made it, even though I know there's a lot I could fix on this ^_^ Maybe one day when my skill had improved considerably, I will remake this artwork to make it look better.

Your explanation made my day ^_^ Thank you.

Lucio is ADORABLE! Oh my goodness! That is so cute!

I love how you write too! it is easy to read and I can imagine so much without even trying!
Amazing! <3

Thank you for the compliments! These two are my main and my favorite mindbabies to date, so it means a lot to hear nice things spoken about them~~ And I needed tons of trial(s) and error(s) to get that pose right, so thanks for appreciating it ahahah Now that somebody mentioned it, I need to get writing. Glad to know you like the story bit too~ Compliments about my writing/style double boosted my self-esteem because I'm half as confident of my writing skill as I am on my drawing skill (and even that, I know I need to work on A LOT of skills drawing-wise).

All in all, I appreciate the sweet comment
It's not every day someone call Lucio adorable so <3

Oh Oh! Can I draw Lucio one day? With your permission of course?
I really love his design, especially the sunken in eyes and beautiful long ears.
he is just so mesmerising to look at! (That's not weird, is it?)

If you have all of that story hidden somewhere on the internet or computer,
I would love to read it! It sounds really interesting and I would LOVE
to see how much Lucio's life changes when he is living with Adeline!

Lol~ I don't know about weird (Lucio's my baby after all so I gotta be weirder for creating him in the first place) but the little guy would be so happy to hear he's liked xD Not that you can see it from his face, though. I'm just glad he's mesmerizing in a good way. And you can draw him of course! I'm always happy to see someone drawing my mindchildren, him especially.

Wow, that flatters me so much! I have that story, but it's not yet translated into English (yeaahh, you probably can guess that English isn't my first language?), just stashed in my computer waiting to be finished. It's just that my annoying college/work/chores schedule forced me to abandon it. Been a while now. But you just sparked new motivations in me. I'll get writing tonight, and will translate it bit by bit once I get to chapter 10. Maybe I'll do Lucio's chapter first instead of doing in order.

Meanwhile, if there's anything you want to know about him, feel free to ask! <3

Sweet! Do you have a front on drawing or a rough sketch with
his feet in it? (Just for reference, just encase I draw him full body).
Yessss! I am so pumped to draw him! So cute!

English isn't your first language?! Holy crap! Wait a second
(Checking your profile... Loading...) IT DOESN'T SAY!
Where are you from? (If you wanna answer) because you
know your English REALLY well!!

Sweet! I shall be looking forward to reading it!

I would like to know about Lucio! How did he get like
that? Where did he come from! Spill all the beans to me!

Reference...
You mean something like this fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/201… ? Ahh...now I can't wait to see it!

Nope, it's actually my third. It's not so easy for me to write in formal English (the closest to Victorian English I can do), which was why it takes me quite a while to write that excerpt you just read. I mean, casual English is fine, it's cool, but you don't use casual English in Adeline and Lucio's time. Soo yep. As for where I'm from...I doubt you know. It's SO in the middle of nowhere. Most people here don't even speak English, sadly. Haha...yeah...well, since not many knows, I figured I'd just put it as unknown up there. What about yourself? Is English your first language?

Thanks for the motivation boost~ I'll do my best.

The story was set in a nonexistent country that I based off of several countries in their Victorian/Romantic era, and Lucio himself was from some tiny village a little far from the urban area of the country. That village was very much backward, see, its only source of medical, religious, and educational information and help came from the local witchdoctor (shaman?) who fortunately didn't abuse his power that much. Lucio's family was normal, well, poor but normal, so they were scared when Lucio was born with goat ears and yellow eyes. All his other family members has normal, dull blue eyes and human ears. And none of them were blond.

They though he was possessed by demons, so they asked the witchdoctor to help "cure" him and pushing the demons away. The witchdoctor did lots of things that was believed to be able to scare demons from possessing ones body, from the mildest ones such as burning incense for the possessed to inhale, to the more violent ones.

Now the violent ones. They -were- violent. One of them included an attempt to gauge one of Lucio's eyes out. The witchdoctor and the parents were scared when they saw Lucio's eyes and nails glowed yellowy green in the dark (for safety purposes they always practiced the "treatment" when there's still light). It was strongly believed in that village that the eyes of a possessed person were used by the demons possessing them to corrupt other people so the demons can gather several vessels at once. You can imagine what impression would a pair of yellow colored pupil-less eyes make on superstitious Victorian villagers, can't you?

So there.

Adeline interrupted the whole ceremony-witchdoctoring-whatever-thing before it was completed and brought the little guy with her, so even though Lucio can't use his left eye anymore, at least both eyes are still there. It's sort of a good thing, no? Lucio had no demonic powers, though. None. He had no powers whatsoever. Just a kid with strange appearance and extremely low self-esteem.

Nice reference! I will draw him tomorrow, I have nothing else better
to do!

I'm from Tasmania (its that little island right under Australia!) AND
THE WEATHER IS CRAAZY HERE!!
I speak English, Though, I am struggling to learn Japanese...
(Oh, And my name is not Siixela < That name is a secret plot to
one of my OC's... Not telling you who xD)

That is a pretty good bio you got there for Lucio! Wow, He really
is such a small, innocent kid!

LalaLiliLalaLii In reply to DruggedOtaku [2014-01-09 12:02:52 +0000 UTC]

Because kids with strange appearance ALWAYS have awesomesauce powers. So yeah, I made him just strange. And small. Glad the reference is sufficient~ If it's not, though, or if you'd rather not draw him with the scars, I have drawn him without the scars.

Ah, I just noticed that Siixela turned round could be read as Alexi(i)s.
Oh wow~ Greetings from the other side of the world, then! I'm from Latvia. Yes, that tiny country next to a huge country that everyone knows ...The weather here is okay, I think. xD How come the weather is crazy there? I mean, how crazy?

As for Lucio...he's so small everyone tend to pet him when he pass through.
Plus his hair is fluffy. Like a bunny. Or a walking fluffy bonsai tree.

I shall draw him with whatever I remember (Because
I drew Slugbox's character "Cteno" and I forgot her
tail, The most important bit about her... How
embarrasing...)

Paradox has awesomesauce powers xD

(Okay, yes, It is Alex(i)s backwards.... But there is only
one picture in my gallery that name belongs to. If you find
it, Keep it a secret, It is only between me and friend-icles!

Latvia! I know where that is! ... Wow, We are ages apart!
(I only know Latvia because of Hetalia .... I'm a sad cookie xD)
I don't know why the weather is crazy, It just is...
I mean, today's weather was cold, then windy, then it went
right up to 22 degrees, then it stopped.... Now I am seriously
sunburnt.... Augh!

OMG!! I WANNA PET HIM!! I WANNA HUG HIM! I WANNA
KIDNAP HIM AND JUST HUG HIM!!!

(Crap.... I fangirled.... Im sooo sorry....)

That's why I like her~Β  Her powers! But "boy wonder" trope had been used so many times it becomes cliche, so since I do have strange-looking little boy, I resist from giving him wow-worthy powers. Oh, well, it's okay if you forget things about him. You can always ask me :'D

No, I haven't found that picture, though I -am- looking for it as we speak ;D

Haha, well, at least one or two among the gazillion animes in the world has useful real-life value~ Good advertising for every countries involved. Considering most people couldn't differentiate Latvia from Lithuania or Libya, you're a pretty cool sad-cookie xD And yesss...WAY apart. Oh, I met someone from Ghana once, though .u.Β  What a wide, wide world~

22 degrees...of what? I know Americans use Fahrenheit, but what about you guys? We use Celsius here, by the way.

It's okaaay~ XD The little guy doesn't mind being petted after all. He's scared of strangers, of course, but once he know you're not going to hurt him, he'll let you pet, hug, and snuggle him and make him your own personal teddy bear. xD

Not really, haha. My friend's a trope eater, though. Whatever tropes I know, I know from her (sort of).

Wow, that's gotta be super "warm" ._. People I know will be panicking and looking for the nearest pool here once it hits the 20s. When I visited a friend in Lithuania, it was 24 degrees out there and I really just wanted to crawl into the nearest fridge. My tolerance for heat is low. D:

What does he eat? Anything edible will be fine~
He likes sugary butter cookies the most though.

Oh God, the 30s...I think I'd probably melt a little.
How do you people stay alive ahhhh D: gotta be your innate super power right there

Sometimes he eats unusual food, though. Like tea leaves or flour.
But usually, if given a choice, he'd choose the sweet ones.

What are you going to do now?

It can be cute, but to Adeline and the others it's more surprising than cute. Like, when you peeled a banana for someone, you'd expect them to eat the banana instead of the skin, right? Lucio might eat both, since both smells good and looks yummy to him.
