Description
"Go to the crossroads, bow down to the people, kiss the earth, for you have sinned against it too, and say aloud to the whole world, 'I am a murderer'"(Dostoevsky 498).One of my favorite quotes from 'Crime and Punishment'. I still think that it is a little funny how Russia laughs like a bell(kol means the sound of a bell) and that bells represent the protagonist of the novel Raskolnikov's internal dichotomy. Weird how stuff works out like that.
This is the first picture that I have actually been really happy with in a while! I went for a sort of darker feel, and I experimented with some effects. The paper that I drew this on was actually red to begin with, it was a work sheet from art class.
Seriously, I had to take a picture of my friend Marshall's hands for reference, they were really hard to draw!Whew, lots of credit here...

The hands look fabulous! And Oh! That quote! It fits...so perfectly.
Also, I just love all the little ironies and mixed meanings of Russia's chant. It can mean...so many things!

Me neither! My headcanon is so different by this point in time that it's hard to watch the original stuff. Do you, perhaps, read off of livejournal?

It is a little hard to look around, but I don't have that many comms that I read from. Mostly, it's a little group of 7 or so writers that all pretty much know each other and are SUPER nice.

O_O this looks amazing and it just grabs your attention. Then, seeing the text, half of me wants to agree with what it says about Russia, and the other half just feels sad for him.
