Artist's Comments

EDIT: Wow... this comes up as veeery dark on MY computer screen (not my dad's). If the same happens to you, please let me know. I'll try to make it a little brighter. o_o....

O_O

Wow, finally, a picture! O_O Man, have I been busy... and without much of a computer to work with -_-;; So I had to color this on my dad's computer, hoping it would come out as good as I hoped. And I think it did ^^

So, this is the new Cover C for First Change. Yep, new, because the other one had both Killy's mentors, Mila and Nathan in it, buuut... I still need practice drawing Nathan. Long hair on a guy is a bitch to draw... Ok ok, Spade/Leon has long hair... but it's not the same at ALL x_x... And I wasn't satisfied with the other cover. So over the week-end, I sat down and wanted to do an illustration with some perspective in it. Nothing too big, but something cool and fun. Though we have yet to role play it (but it's already happened outside the games) I tried out an illustration of Mike Ironside's death.

For those not familiar, Mike was one of the main reasons Killy left the Luna's Avatars pack. When he does, he follows Nathan and finds out about the Bale Hounds, which tend to go for the tainted moons. Killy IS hesitant at first, even after he gets into a lot of trouble with Miguel. When he finds Mike, he's still desperatly fighting against two pures. Nathan doesn't have too much of a problem getting rid of the two Pures, which leaves Killy with an injured Mike. Killy even comes to think he should help Mike and let go of his Bale Hound idea... until Mike shoots one of his sarcastic, degrading, and mean comment again. And that does it for the kid: he finishes Mike off with the silver weapon, hopefully proving to Souless Wolf he's ready for the task at hand.

Buuut... as a LOT of comic books do.... the cover has nothing to do with First Change. Well... almost nothing. ;) I wasn't going to use it as a cover, but I really liked the perspective on Mike, and Killy's position too. The red moon represents the tainted moon, thus why there's a red aura around it. ^^

Also, a funny fact: I did it on purpose so Mike would have a lot of zombie potential :P After the pack finds Mike, a Necromancer appears and raises the dead all around. So guess who gets back up? Yep, good ol' Mike. :P lol

And for those who want to see a Garuu, Cover A, which I'll finish coloring for next week, will please you very very much ;)

Also, if you think this should be in mature, let me know. Like for Page 5 of First Change, I don't think it's necessary, as all you see is blood, and to me, it's nothing much :P

Anyways, enjoy!

I would suggest turning up your controls on your monitor, or either your monitor is just slowly dying and you will have to purchase another eventually as it will get too dark or decide to make a snowstorm on your screen like mine before the tube decided to start completely goin.
:icondbh-chaos:
Indeed, the colors do come out VERY well. You seem to have caught the moment in a nice way (so to speak).

I was wondering if I could share an opinion concerning the esthetic nature of the drawing? Don't want to voice something that's uncalled for. :paranoid:
:iconmariasunderland:
o.O My monitor's not dying, it's always been darker then most :P Ever since I purchased it with the computer lol
