Description

"Hello, hello
Anybody out there? Cause I don’t hear a sound
Alone, alone
I don’t really know where the world is but I miss it now

I’m out on the edge and I’m screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I’m alright
But it’s never enough

Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have”

Echo by Jason Walker

If you'd like to hear the song I have it on my blog Here .

Seems that every time I end up drawing Almaca in a simple image, my first idea is to draw him in some kind of aquatic scene. I love it~

Been a bit since I posted stuff on here, not that I haven't been drawing. I've just been posting things on my tumblr more than here. I'll transfer things over here eventually, buuut just taking my good ol' time with it.

If you're interested you can take a look at my blog over here Got plenty of fun bits of info on there and several sketches I haven't posted on DA yet. 

Almaca and art belong to TheEvilTeaDrinker

The coloring on this one was definitely the best in a long while. <33

I think you should try doing colored lineart next time you do something with shading and coloring this beautiful, or maybe try a straight-up lineless painting. That would look beautiful.

Awwww thank you~! 

Perhaps, I do play around with colored lineart, I just find it often a bit more complicated than its worth sometimes. 
Lineless oh gooooooodd, that drives me up the wall lineless does. Never turns out the way I want it in the end. THough maybe sometime I'll give it a shot.

Most welcome. vwv

It can be, until you figure out a good technique for doing it. >w>

XD Lineless is tough indeed but it can look sooooo good.

Its a blogging website :V 
Not much to it really, I'm not sure if you need an account or not to look at someones blog, but either way it isn't hard to make one. no harder then making a deviantArt that is.

Octeapi In reply to DaMushroom [2014-11-27 22:48:26 +0000 UTC]

Actually that was intentional~! There is this kind of rose that when it wilts looks like skulls, that is what I based them around.
