Description Originally I wanted this to be just a picture of Shreddie, but as will happen with me, it warped, and turned into a picture of Shreddie done almost entirely in blue, which would also make this my entry for =oibyrd 's BLUE contest! YOU SEE MY UNWAVERING LOGIC PFAAHAHAA.

Ooh, I love being challenged in blue.

...not that I enjoy feeling stupid while wearing blue clothing. That's an entirely different matter.

And if you don't get my joke or why it's funny, you're normal and sane. Good for you!

*cough* ANYWAY. What was I saying about this thing? (And why is it whenever I draw Shreddie I get even more easily distracted? WHYYYY?) Ah yes. I wanted to draw this for a while; Shreddie in a twisting hallway and a generally creepier atmosphere than he's usually found in. Wonder of wonders, I must be very happy with finishing that research paper, because I sat down to draw and actually FINISHED within six hours. It's sooooo~ pretty ;_;

No, his skin is not normally grey. It's the creepy lighting, I swear.

Why the creepiness? ...Um. Been thinking a lot about the stifling aspects of depression, mental illness in general (I can't say I know exactly what it feels like, but I do get a lot of weird feelings, so fear me). Wanted to put Shreddie in that light, rather than the usual delirious giddy aspect he usually represents. Yeah. *weird burst of intelligence fades*

Shreddie is (c) me, and actually exists in PRINTED BOOK FORMAT, so don't try stealing. Seriously. People will know.

Grr Deviantart just ate my comment. Retype. Yet again more great colouring, especially the highlights, on his suit and his hair! Wow! Just excellent. The blue theme works really well, as does the grey skin. *Faves again* More great work.

i nearly fell down when i saw this one, but instead succeeded in flying all over the room in our brand new leatherish wheely-chair. took about five minutes to stop, i did. 8D

okay, this is seriously topping the list of my favourite of your works (there's a separate list for your stuff in my mind, 'cause i love it so much ). oh, shreddie, its been so very long. the hair, the eyes, the blue, the atmosphere, the... description. XD love and more love.

i may have to draw fanart, you know. if i did, it'd be the the first actual deviation in my gallery. ohyeah.

Whee shreds *glomps*...I love the colours...so pretty...besides of course Shreds has to be like this sometimes...I mean come on if he was hyper all the time then...well my theory is that he would spontaniously combust...and that is not good...nope...no fun at all!

milo2 In reply to MystressCyanide [2006-02-24 05:08:18 +0000 UTC]

whoa. i totally agree with that theory; if anyone was hyper all the time they'd go FOOMPH! and shreddie's SUPERhyper when he's hyper, so add all that extra energy and he'd burst into flame! gaaahhh~

but thanks to these downer times he stays un-foomphed and that way artemis still has a boyfriend. n_n all ends happily!

Yay! I mean honestly what would the world be if Shreds suddenly combusted hmmm? Well at least poor Artemis' fish would not fear being flushed down the loo by accident *giggle*

....the unbidden thought 'people will know AND PEOPLE WILL KILL AND MAIM' comes to mind regarding the claimer.

although. i admit i thought this was a weird Victor Stringbeastie.

my mind basically went 'VICTOR STRINGBEASTIE. VICTOR STRINGBEASTIE. VICTOR STRINGBEASTIE...s.....cousin?'

GAH! THIS IS SO AWESOME! IT'S LIKE SERIOUS-CONCERT-PERFORMING-SHREDDIE!...minus the tuxedo. BUT AWESOME!

milo2 In reply to the-apprentice [2006-02-24 03:43:34 +0000 UTC]

awww~ you and i would kill and maim, most definitely!

i assure you, the NEXT one will be vicky stringfreak! X3 *heaven forbid he has a cousin... TOO SCARY*

i can just hear shreddie now: "it's BINDINNNNG~" and artemis: "...i didn't want to picture that." :3 ahh, me and my obscure jokes.

no, they're surprisingly still together! shreddie is constantly alarming artemis by putting their goldfish in the toilet bowl and waking up at two a.m. to make pancakes, but they're managing X3
