Description
Stark, pre-prison.post-sociopathy.
“No,” said Stark. “Please stay.” He relaxed his wrists and sat, cross-legged, on the chilly concrete floor. It was painted institutional grey, in stark contrast with the photographs he now held, two-handed, in long fingers. They were all of women; faces Stark was intimately familiar with. He’d dreamed of these women, alive and dead, as he rolled insomniac on the thin wool blankets in the half-dark of prison nights. He’d seduced them, come up behind them with straight razors, and slit their throats in search for the perfect note.
Stark hummed, an octave below middle C. The ideal tone.
he's fixated. serially fixated.
text is mine. character is mine. art is mine.
mineminemine XD
apologies for quality; this was drawn and colored speedily.
also the creepiest thing i've drawn in a while >_>

Knowing you, you must write an AMAZING serial killer.
He looks really cool, and the passage is creepy. Awesome.

Why do I already like this guy.... I always love and feel sympathy for the killers.... Hannibal Lector, Erik (Phantom), Mr. Dolarhyde... WHY?
Ooooooo, I really like where this is going. Is this part of the story? C:

well, he's designed to be kind of relatable XD
if he were much crazier, no one would get him at all, and it would degrade the story. that's also why i didn't make him super ugly haha
it is, but i'm not sure how much detail i'm putting it in.
right now it's in the form of police reports, but i might change it to actual descriptions of what happens.
there's so much icky, though. i don't want to freak people out >_>

I like him, you have achieved the perfect balance in this charater.
Out in as much as you think you need to add to the story and keep it interesting. Not to much icky that it turns in to a slasher novel, but not to little that makes it seem... not slashy... I'm not sure how to explain it but I think you get the point.
(Trust me it takes more to freak people out than one would think. I read this paper in American History about the conditions in hospitals in the Civil War... that was downright scarring. eeeshhh. But in fiction most the time people can take alot more.)

thanks~
i'm a little too fond of him myself XD
that's the problem with how it is now. . .it's not exciting enough in the beginning, when i really need to capture people's attention and get them interested.
i think i get it.
(hmm, good point. maybe it's more that i'm afraid of what i'm capable of doing in my head, haha)

You create the best creepiest, and like able charaters. C:
Don't be afraid of what you can think, heck it may be morbid, but its what draws people in. They think "huh, how did they ever come up with something like that? It's so creepy yet to interesting to put down." Like Stephen King. His books creeped me out, but you just can;t stop reading. o.o

What do you plan on doing with the manuscript when you're done?
Get it published, maybe?

ahahahano.
i wish XD
it's technically 'novelette' length now, but it's not nearly long or high-quality enough to publish.

I love the very "come hither" look on his face as he stands evenly coated in the blood of maidens.

Hmm, I like him (= And not in a creepy way

i wouldn't suggest it. . .he would probably injure you in the process >_>
thanks! and yes, he is!

ohhhhhh jesus. this guy scares me. the passage, the blood, the note bubble, the smile--
i'm assuming the perfect note thing will make more sense in context, because if he's searching for a woman who screams a low C, it's going to take him at least a hundred murders, if not more.

*rubs hands together evilly*
oh, good.
it will. he's looking for specific note, but not low C. that would be slightly preposterous XD
