Description Tokyo Babylon & X-1999 © CLAMP.
Blood splatter brushes © ~mp0 .


A little something different for ~lotusseed 's birthday, who introduced me to some of CLAMP's wonderful series throughout last year (each and every one of them breaking my brain and heart a bit more). Although he's a real monster, how can you not love such a seriously emotionally fucked up baddie, huh?

I must admit this was fun once I got the lineart down. CLAMP's style is so hard to get used to. Believe me, you do not want to see the first 2-3 versions of the sketch I actually drew on a black background, and that was quite interesting. I'll have to try again. And I think I'm going to play around with more shading/sort of half-toning thingy but for now I wanted to keep it clean and simple (and only had time for this).

Thanks. It was both fun and a nightmare to work on but I'm happy with the results. I'm working on adding a bit of shading/half-toning to it but I haven't had time to open the file in a while.

He's such a sexy villain, how could anyone resist him? And actually, my friend has been so busy lately that she didn't realise it was for her until I told her some time ago. She seemed very happy

I can't say that I've read those two CLAMP series, but the drawing looks nice (the atmosphere's a bit creepy though).

Thank you! And yes, it should look creepy. This guy is a monster who kills his victims by stabbing through their heard with his hand. But he's so good at hiding it and playing Mr Nice Guy with a poor 16-17-year old boy who just doesn't stand a chance against him

The Seishirou from TRC just doesn't have the same charisma. Although they have kept some sort of link between him and Subaru.

I thought it was my imagination but how the hell did I end up not making that cigarette straight?? I'll have to redraw it. Guess that's what happens when you've never even held one in your life

I'd like to be eaten by him for breakfast. But he wouldn't care. He only wants his precious Subaru-kun... *sigh*

You said it looked suspicious. Did I misunderstand you?

This looks sexy in a Sin City kind of way XD. The hand looks awesome, and I knew that this was a CLAMP character right before I read your comment. Great work!

Oh, thank you!! I hope my attempt at adding shading/halftone will work.

Ooh! This is great-- I especially love the blood and smoke. And holy crap, why do you rock so much at drawing hands?! *Envy*

Mangsney In reply to Your-Undoing [2009-01-13 09:38:16 +0000 UTC]

The more I looked at the hand the worse I thought it was (and I'm so not looking forward to attempt shading it) so thank you so much

Thank you! But now you see why I couldn't draw Mugen holding a cigarette (even though I could have showed his tattoos)?

I'm looking forward to playing with some halftoning later, but not on that damn hand
