Description Based off the Automatic song "Seriously...I Hate You Guys". Which is an awesome song.

I reworked an old character I had into a High Council Member of Hell for Without Void because I needed more of them.

Lai has two left feet and a tendency to trip over himself, hurt himself, and those around him on accident. He's pretty powerful in the idea that it takes very little to no effort for him to cast a spell, but on the other hand, if he had to put a little more effort into it he probably wouldn't misfire so damn much. He is sort of like the giant that doesn't know his own strength, except with spells. He'll set your hand on fire shaking it.

Naturally, people keep their distance from him most of the time. Even other Council Members who usually can protect themselves leave him alone - they'd just rather not deal with it. It makes him a bit of an outcast, and he's not entirely oblivious to it. He sometimes tries to make up for it which usually ends up in disaster too.

I'm sure when he sneezes he casts random spells.

Due to certain events, he eventually gets cast out of the High Council for good and has to fend for himself.

It's pronounced Lay. Like the potato chip.

Your characters are always so much fun to look at and read about!
I love his outfit and the fact that he's doesn't need to try very hard, but he probably should. I think that part can relate to a lot of people.

Empress1 [2008-07-01 14:08:51 +0000 UTC]

Great job all around. My one concern though, is that he looks a bit too much like Carol. I mistook him for Carol when I first saw him. It's probably the mix of red hair and square glasses (At least, I THINK Carol wears sqaure glasses...Doesn't he?)

But anywho, I really think his costume is wonderful, as is his tail.

I loooove the outfit, it's so jazzy and fitted. Is it humanly possible for you to draw crappy clothes? I think not.

His horns remind me of moth antennae. O: He has some pretty freakin nice clothes. Not that I'd wear them, though. :<

chemicalpanic [2008-07-01 10:36:58 +0000 UTC]

The colour scheme and the mask around his face really remind me of red pandas. (Baww, they're so cute.) Though his tail looks more like that of a pokemon... I bet he wouldn't even cause a fuss if he walked with cosplayers. 'cept for, like, setting people on fire everytime he waved.
And about the sleeping thing... I strongly believe demons have special cushions mostly supporting the neck. So their horns don't get into the way much. How he'd sleep on his stomach, though... No idea, but I suppose you can survive without it (I know several females who can't do it anyway).
[/random ramblings because telling you how awesome you are is kind of repetitive]

Your graphic art skills are amazing. How many layers did it take you to finish this off?

vert-is-ninja In reply to Deadmist [2008-07-01 05:32:20 +0000 UTC]

About 17 layers....

I use a lot of layers. *guilty*

Deadmist In reply to vert-is-ninja [2008-07-01 06:59:36 +0000 UTC]

But that's how you're able to manage such a sleek look in your art!

The way you play around with the visibility of each layer, adding a texture on one layer, another texture on a different layer... it all adds up in the end. And it's worth it. Every slaving minute of it. Excellent skin toning and creativity of background design. (how you're able to produce so much in a day baffles me) You're a star among digital design. Anyone can 'use' photoshop, but it takes a pro to 'create' with it... if you get what I mean.

With the high number of people there are trying to break into the comics biz, you are most totally part of the small group that WILL make it.

((Your Blue Ranger pic should be a T-shirt design, btw))

Fantasticful design, as always. When this comic gets a-goin', I'll be reading for sure.

Mostly, though, I want to say that those are some of the most awesomely outlandish horns I've ever seen. Are they one in front of the other, or are they mobile, like antennae?...

vert-is-ninja In reply to Felos [2008-07-01 05:33:06 +0000 UTC]

They are one in front of the other! I don't know how he sleeps, and I don't even know how to draw it from the side. I'm in for it.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Felos In reply to vert-is-ninja [2008-07-01 05:43:00 +0000 UTC]

Well, such are the things that try skill. D:
I often wonder if demons even sleep. I suppose it applies on a case-by-case basis.
Either way, I do love the horns. Maybe you should sketch out some angles, or even make a lil' Sculpey head to sit on a desk.
...Or not. Everyone has their processes. D:

Yeah, luckily Liulu doesn't have many accidents she just has a hard time applying spells to situations.

Lai is just like constantly setting spells off like fireworks.
