Description This picture needs an explanation for being drawn just as much as DeviantART needs cookies for being built.

Okay, I'M NOT EMO. Nothing in my life drove me to drawing this. Nothing's really going wrong (besides my mom's wedding). I've NEVER cut myself, and the guy in the pic isn't ME. Just wanted to clear that up cuz i think a bunch of people would call me emo. K'thx.

This is an idea I thought up a while ago. Semi-based on [link] (yes, it's still my character, Kashuu.) only he's cutting himself this time. If you ignore the red hair dye, this would basically be part of a scene where Kashuu drove himself to self-mutilation after his fiance Rosette was killed the day before they were to be married. Kashuu was wounded seriously in his arm when it happened, and then Rosette was killed when he was too preoccupied about bleeding to death, so he basically blamed himself for the whole thing and was heartbroken for about 2 or 3 years. When he thinks about it he still can't help but cry about it, even if he's in front of Paluu. Kashuu's never afraid to show his feelings.

A few crits from the artist cuz I'm not in the mood for insults:

One arm's bigger than the other. His dagger's not straight. The wings are crappy cuz I can't draw wingd right especially when they're the black demon wings. A lot of stuff is wrong with his face. I can't draw tears.

A few things you may notice that I have to clear up as well:

Notice his wedding rings are gone. This is supposed to be sorta right after Rosette died, years before he even met Paluu. He's bleeding A LOT. Kashuu's extremely emo, is why. ^^ I'm too shy to draw nipples on guys, it's just wierd to think about it. Plus I'm only 13 so I shouldn't. The blood on the wing is screwed up as well. If any of yo are going "ZOMG Tamao had that idea sorta!" it's cuz I based it off some of her pics as well. Thank you, Tamao! (and Meyli too!)

I know I'm gonna stir lots of contreversy with this one. It's gonna be up for 3 weeks cuz that's how long my mom's honeymoon is and that's how long I won't have a scanner for. At my dad's i can scan it to my non-internet compy, put it on a floppy, and upload it in the library, but the compy is screwed up and freezes after 5 minutes after I turn it on. Can't wait till I get my aunt's old Mac.

well, enjoy!

Materials used: Watercolor brush markers, micron 05 sepia inking pen, red watercolor for the BG.

Paper Stock: Copy paper

Time Taken: about an hour ish... maybe more.

edit: I love drawing Kashuu! ^_^ Not only is he easy to draw, but he has such a huge personality so I can basically do whatever I want with him and he'll look awesome. (just... no cutesy pics like I'd draw Samal in.) So many emotions can flood over him all at once... which is also why he's in a lot of stress most of the time. He's probably the most innocent and desperate of all my charas.

Thanks! Yeah, I really dislike the emo stereotype sometimes... but if I had to choose one of my original characters that fits the stereotype perfectly, it would be Kashuu. D:

I don't really think this pic is controversial But it's emo indeed x3
Anyway, the hands seem a bit small to me, but not that much... And I think the wings are ok ^^
Cool character, but the way :3

Even though you say things are "messed up" in this pic, I can't really see it. I enjoy this pic! The colors are so vibrant, and the shading is great as well! (Especially on the face and the bandages.) You feel so much emotion from this piece... I think you did a wonderful job!

gal4 [2006-05-21 12:16:20 +0000 UTC]

wow, very sedistic, you style is very unique , a bit creepy, but very inteasting, i think the background should be a little darker, and i think the pony tell look a bit strange\ no exactly right, other than that this is amazing but i think that next time a little bit less blood would realy help

Fused0001 [2006-05-21 06:41:39 +0000 UTC]

Looks great. The cuts and bandges look great. The wings arent bad but could maybe use some more detail. Good job. you should draw some more like this. Tap into your darkside

X3 I haven't read a lot of X, but the art is really awesome. So bloody and stuffs... (and it's done by CLAMP!) Yeah, sometimes doing cutesy work can get awfully repetative. thanks!

If anyone called you 'emo' because of it, they would deserve a painful beating ><
I get that a lot about my pictures, frustrating.

Anyway, you did a marvelous job.
It's such a dramatic picture, and it conveys that atmosphere very strongly.
I love the way everything looks, especially the hair *__*
I have a hair fetish O__x
