Fufufu! I am back once again with new art offerings to bombard your sight and dazzle your senses! But first, Dikyobia, that was a very...odd story. For some reason I enjoyed the huge and varied cast of characters, though. More when I finish. About the poetry...I'm sorry. I just can't think of anything to say about most of it. It's like there's a wall between me and the poems. Maybe I'm doing something wrong... Anyway! First up is this. http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j152/Whyte-Shadow/?action=view¤t=LearningIsFun.jpg Learning is indeed fun. It's Maria Renard, from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night/Nocturne in the Moonlight. This is an especially sketchy early scan, and it also marks the first time I've ever put my handwriting on anything I've scanned. Also, there's supposed to be a puff of smoke between sketches 3 and 4, just so you know. Well, I thought it was funny. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44256628/ Meanwhile, this is an ongoing project - a character model sheet for one of my longtime characters. Whenever I finish a new one on that page I splice it in. It's a lot better than the one from earlier this year. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44366855/ And this is comedy gold. And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Whyte Shadow's increasingly-rapid art output. Critique is more than welcome. -------------------- http://whyte-shadow-neko.deviantart.com - My drawings!

The uninked pencil comes out nearly invisible when skanned. I can't actually tell what I'm looking at unless I zoom in. —Alorael, who has now slid the final steps on his descent into criticizing art. No, this is not at all the same as being an art critic. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Flarg, I think the contrast or gamma or something on our monitors must be different. It looks fine to me. I've seen this before, adn I think mine is the darkest one in the world. I'll fix it in the next scan, sorry. [ Saturday, December 16, 2006 19:00: Message edited by: Whyte Shadow ] -------------------- http://whyte-shadow-neko.deviantart.com - My drawings!

"Butterfly" In the purple hues of twilight Just outside her window frame Where she sat and saw the sun set On the darkened evening grass, Fell a feather from a sparrow Through the fading summer light; Flew a bird with wild abandon From across the distant plains At the edges of the fields That stretched out in all directions And around her lonely house. Beneath the sensual rain of starlight, She leans out her window frame: Runs her fingers down the cool wood, Extends her hand into the night The still and western air embraces; Wraps itself around her fingers, And whispers softly through her window, Runs itself throughout her hair, And past her cheek it slowly drifted, And around her darkened room, Then it blew back out the window Where she sat and watched the night. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start?

Hm... pretty good, Nikki. I'm no poet, so I have little or no experience with most of the mechanics, but I feel like you could probably kill a few of the adjectives. Like "sensual rain". -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

It has no title. Many men have fallen, on this barren land. They have fallen, at the whim of a lord, throwing their lives away, while lord rested, at home in bed, waiting carelessly for the news. Many more will fall the same, for nothing but the pride of a man. An uncaring and vicious man, whose weapons are other men. Many more will fall the same, all at the wim of one man. It's not very good, but I made it so I decided to post it. I'm really not much of a poet. Posts: 626 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Nikki, the poems demonstrate a good use of vocabulary. They also actually feel like a lead-in to something else. The latest one in particular feels somehow like the opening story from the early Final Fantasies, and the first one feels like it should be part of something larger, although I guess that might take away from the emphasis. Anyway, I made a comic! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/47280927/ That's actually an accurate representation of the city's geography, by the way, and the thing with the cars is taken straight from the game. You can hit one and cause a massive domino effect. It's fun =^.^= Thanks to Thuryl for grammar checking. =^.^= -------------------- http://whyte-shadow-neko.deviantart.com - My drawings!

quote:Definitely no. That's the best part. Here's another sonnet. I wrote it four years ago and have always sort of thought of it as being called, "Your Love is Like a Jamba Juice." The stars that fell from heaven to her hair, Themselves they sprinkled evenly throughout, And now they glisten bright without a care, Betwixt the flaxen strands that drape about. The precious gemstones of the earth, The aquamarine and the sapphire hues, Did melt into her eyes with mirth, Supplying none but deep and lustrous blues. But all the roses extant could not aid In soft creation of her lips; Her loving kisses must be only made Of sweetest berries’ juice and drunk in sips. For quickly saccharine will turn their touch; Her love a drink -- I must not drink too much. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I like, Kel. Anyway, good news (I think) abounds! I have been published by the people at poetry.com!! I'll post the piece I entered in a minute. Also, I'm on a short-list to win money. Money!! Yay!! Ahem. So: "Langely Moor" Carried gently to a field, And rested in an earthen bed. A stream of soil is slowly poured Over sleeping children's heads; A quilt of earth to warm the dead. Emerald forests, and flowered paths; These the playgrounds of the past. But the children cannot leave, Their shallow graves beneath the grass Trapped in graves, but warm at last. Tears may fall, and leaves will follow And still the children fade. Lying still in mounds of dirt Below the forest shade Lying still, and frozen in time, And gone from England's mind. ----- It's a fairly old one, but still. YAY! :) -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know? *Name by Slarty, so blame him if it's filthy...

Well, it came about after I listened to the Smiths song "Suffer Little Children". It's about the 'Moor's Murders' that happened in Manchester in the 60s. But it's also about death as a whole, and other such cases of murder, and just, I don't know. What does it make you think? Edit: and the name, well, it's where somebody very dear to me lives.

Thanks, everybody for the feedback and kind words. Erm, well, yeah, I just read the link (thank you, Imban :) ) and, well, fortunately I've not sent any money. I'm gonna go ahead and see if they'll print me, but otherwise...gah. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

Filthy, filthy double posts... But it needed to be done - this thread has so much stuff in it that we can't let it slip away. In my opinion, anyway. Erm, new stuff from me, to legitimise the revival... and I KNOW that others have things to share too. Red sky, white rose… Autumn falls about her slippers As she walks amidst the night, And she listens to the whispers Of a sighing, wistful, breeze… * * * Walking on, she lets her hands stretch, Reaches out to catch the leaves, Her enthralling blue eyes closing, Whirling round, her pink lips moving, Letting out her heartfelt song: "Starry night, my body aching, Silver moon, my fingers itch, Empty heavens, a single person, Dancing to her body's beat. Flowing dress about my body, Sensual dreams awaken love, My lonely day is all forgotten, As I dance this golden street. Gentle autumn do arouse me, Wrap yourself around my soul, I'm another willing victim, Dancing to her body's beat" -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

Years ago, my brother submitted a poem, was promised potential $$ and purchased said anthology. What Wiki says is all true, although he at least can say he was published and to the average layperson it might be impressive (although I think now the book merely collects dust in some forgotten corner of time). -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."

This artwork is good here's a useful tip if you have IPhoto or a computer program try to modify the lighting, contrast, blur and with luck you'll ameliorate this artwork.

Hmm. LoR. Been a while since I've seen anything related to that. It was one of the first I started reading, used to love it too. My, how the poses look entirely familiar...
