Good to see you again, Miron! Some of you might not even know him. Ask away, if you want.

The assignment was basically to listen to music, make some representational art and to write about it. I more or less did whatever would keep me occupied. I'm glad he creeped into my mind to help me out, since no other characters could've worked so well..The music itself is not much my taste, I found it distressing and without a clear line of thought. That, coupled with stress of day to day life, (Read: Thesis) led to this depiction.

I enjoy that through a series of struggling with how to pose his right arm, he guided me into posing him this way. At first it looks like he's grasping a cross, but a second look reveals he's holding a dagger by the blade. I dunno, don't question this guy, everything he does is vaguely intimating and stupid at the same time. However, I really like the visual.

In the end I enjoyed the sketch so much I let it show through and texture some aspects. I kind wanted to pick at it a bit more but it probably won't happen, I have a project backlog.

Here's the musical piece this was based off of: [link]

Corel Painter.

I haven't slept in 40 hours, this was done at about 5am last night.

Since you invited--I don't know who Miron is. I remember his name, but alas, that is all. Could you give me a hint?

Miron is the son of a King, and a bit of a foil for Aiden. He was originally Aiden's first life, with Aiden as a reincarnation, but that has been nearly forgotten.

Miron, essentially, is moody, brooding, and has an entire country at his fingertips. When it is finally his turn to rule the kingdom, minor conflict snowballs into a full scale war. He's hard to explain. He isn't very likable, and he's not the greatest guy, but he has a lot of feeling and is an interesting enough dynamic. Now that I more or less remembered him, I hope I can do more to show exactly who he is.

Thanks. I'll be interested to see more work of him!
Btw, hope your holidays are going well. I assume you're on break?

Thank yooouuuu~ It was so fun to sit and doodle with you, even though we both kinda wanted to die/strangle someone.

So I can't hear it very well through the metal being blasted in the background, but this is a pretty awesome little piece of music, and a fitting image. I love the cold, wintery atmosphere. Definitely looks chilly!

uh, Miron, you're not supposed to hold it by the blade. That's what the hilt is for, honey.

Yaaaay about the Miron still existing part! Boo about not sleeping in 40 hours! I hope you get to sleep soon. I actually went "Oh my god he's alive!" out loud when I saw who you'd drawn. Also yes, this music is-- uncomfortable and imbalanced.

Surprised to see him around. More like bemused with the cutting thing.

You don't understand, Elise, his life is so hard. It's so hard, and no one understands.

my favorite part of this is actually the background. The sketchiness has a really cool effect.
