Description Early June, 2007

Vampire Hunter D copyright 1983 by author Hideyuki Kikuchi and illustrator Yoshitaka Amano.

I did this in my freshman year during the last days of school. I included the original picture that I copied D's profile from. (I kind of made up the hair as I went along, though. That was a pain...) No tracing involved.

I'm sorry it's so washed out in spots. I'll try to darken my artwork so the scanner doesn't leave out detail.

Thank you very much! I'm happy you think so.

I'll stop drawing when I'm dead. Maybe.

Oh Wow!
you trully are a Great practitioner of drawing Details!
There are so many things that amaze me here!
the lighting on the hair, face and hat are remarkable better in Black and With Style. Most Impressive work. n_n

The teeth's looks badass, i like how yo drawn the flesh where the teeth's are stuck on.
After taking a good Look, i noticed that the thong that you draw is smaller then that of the picture.

drawing something different instead of copying is better, you added some of your own experience into your drawing. ^_-

I owe that skill to my mother. She used to be an art teacher. Thank you for your kindness.

The overall picture is the size of the original, but the mouth on mine is too small/not wide enough and the eye is too big. That's what I get for messing with Yoshitaka Amano. XD

I'm learning slowly but surely.

well then you got a great Teacher!
being kind is wat every should posses .

oh, i missed that part, i was so amazed by the Teeth's details. >_<
Like i said before, if you change things along the way, its better then to fully copy something, im still proud with your small mouth version. n_n

I love my mom.

Agreed. Kindness is the best way to "kill" an enemy. Hehe... now you have me in a very vampire-y mood. Death and blood, WOO!

I didn't want it to look as if I'd traced it, so I'm happy you think so. ^^

They almost look exactly alike and don't worry about the hair because it is done really well.

The mouth and teeth just amazes me.
The amount of detail in this is wonderful--you didn't "fudge" an area which is great.

You're very welcome.

Say, you're from the US, my dear. If I had a concern relating to a plagerised piece of work that was rewarded and praised by the school (they don't know it is plagerised), who do I contact? The superintendent?

switchblade16 In reply to WishingUnderThatStar [2010-05-02 14:25:56 +0000 UTC]



That would be my best bet, I think. The head of the school and probably the teacher who accepted the assignment. I do hope your asking out of curiosity. Did this happen to you?

WishingUnderThatStar In reply to switchblade16 [2010-05-02 14:31:03 +0000 UTC]

No, to :iconyuumeiplz: Her art "Selfish" was plagerised and re-named "Stolen Wing" (Ironic!) and Kasey Bowman was awarded gold medals from the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers, by their school, and several interviews by newspapers.

She can't contact Alliance for Young Artists and Writers because they haven't left a fax number (they won't accept emails).

Right! I have the journal entry right here. I hadn't read it yet. That just makes me sick... and angry. I can't imagine how she really feels about it. Poor girl. I hope it's resolved soon.

WishingUnderThatStar In reply to switchblade16 [2010-05-02 17:53:50 +0000 UTC]

Agreed.
It's bad enough putting a plagerised piece of work online, but to enter it in a contest and be awarded for it!
I hope that everyone knows the truth.
It is disgusting to know that other people don't have a care in the world to take credit that others have worked so hard on.

But you have guns, and pepper sprays. That should be more than enough, surely.

It's times like these that I wish that James Bond was real.

Actually, only a couple knives, but your point is valid. XD The police are the problem. Save me from my clumsiness, James Bond!

Kitchen knives, or knives knives?
If you're talking about the latter, remind me to never piss you off.

Or, better yet, have Johnny English by your side.

I have a few spring-loaded knives. I like knives.
But you're my buddy! I do not stab those people.

Hm... or an army of ninjas...

I would have been a little more convinced if you hadn't stated that you liked knives, then re-assured me that you don't stab your friends.

We could have all of them. We could dispatch them across the world.

So it does. What a coincidence! XD I've never owned pepper spray, but it's easier to explain to the police the would-be rapist is now blind as opposed to stabbed through the chest multiple times. I had to make sure he was dead, after all. Please don't arrest me...

WishingUnderThatStar In reply to switchblade16 [2010-05-02 22:03:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but you can either say that it was in self-defense or because of PMS. I've heard that a couple of women got the charges dropped in the US because of that.

It made me lol hard that in the US you can own guns, knives and pepper sprays but you can get arrested if you write on a table in the classroom.

Oh, I like that! I do have rather nasty intentions when I'm enduring that. I tend to want to kick small children down the two flights of stairs leading to the high school. Um... hi.

The US justice system is a joke. (You REALLY have to destroy the desk if you want to get arrested for something like that. Like, via fire. XD)
