Description I'm always drawing cutesy themes, so I was going for something different, something scary-ish? haha I hope I achieved that xD I spent more time on this than usual, roughly 7-8 hours? I wasn't really keeping track of time.

girl vs. shadow creatures...who will win?

For the blood, I used some brushes that I found at [link]

-drawn on opencanvas, colored on PhotoshopCS3

--added tears, I knew I felt like it was missing something. Thanks to for the help.

i walk in the woods but unknowingly i walk into
its territory.i feel it breathing down my neck i
quickly turn my back nothing. i go deaper and
i dont know it but i maid a faital mistake.
i tell my self go back but im lost and i realized
it to late.it then sences my fear and see's me
as potential prey.then i run but it continuse to
follow me.it then slashes my arms my rist and
leg it takes one final blow but misses only becouse
i fell.still blood splaters on the tree and my boot
tears fall down my cheeks as it starts to snow
i sit and pray i cant get up and if i could it
would kill me.i watch as it circles around the
few trees sourounding me.it has no shape or
form and if it does it ceeps it hidden all i see of it
is a blured shadow a wait but nowone comes i
grow more and more tired but sleep would meen my
death.i now know i have to make a break for it i tell my
self this mission will be socsesfull or its a suicide mission.
i slowly get up and run as fast as i could but again traped
so close to freedom yet so far and eaven closer to death.
night has fallen luckily i have a flash light i shine it at the monster
it seames scared of it so i get up and run shineing my only
light at it when it gets to close but sudenly my light
goes out it slashes my chest wounded badley i say to
myself its all over i dont have a chance now the monster
comes up to me and says you humans are to weak you
can be brought down whith hardly any ephort at all but you
posed a chalenge you where more difficult i hadent had a
hunt that fun yet chalenging its a pitty i have to kill you.
i take one last breath as it tries to slash my neck.but then
a mirickle happens it lets me go.i said to my self it probaly
knows im going to die any way feeling disy i faint from biood
loss.i wake up in the hospital sourounded by my freinds and
family telling me how much they love me but soon after
i deid.

I want to comment because it's so amazing but I hardly know what to say...

Your lighting is amazing, especially on her hair. I really love the abstract background, too.

I've been haunting the pages of deviantart more than actively living within the site...but I have been watching! And am absolutely delighted, dahling!

This is very different from your usual work yet the same in some ways...

Instead of that loverly happy feeling I get from your drawings, I get something else! She really calls out to you...I love the expression. It's quite perfect, actually--not too dramatic but it still really pulls at you. Something I'd like to see in a manga slash anime by you!

I also love these darker colors you used. I wouldn't mind seeing them in your other drawings!! Oh yes, indeedy!

Sooo, you'll be starting on the special ideas you told me about?? If this is just the beginning, I can't wait! Although I shall bite my arm and be patient, just as you have I'm sure...hehe. I'm getting there, actually, really! I'm looking at my end of our bargain right now! I hope I can color it too!

strawberrycake In reply to kalile [2008-01-26 05:26:10 +0000 UTC]

WAHHHH you're back!! O_O I have not spoken to you since the last time I saw you! we must get together again soon!

awwww thanks so much xD It's not the best, but it's a start..I'm glad it's different

yes..i have all these cool ideas that would be really fun to draw, but I'm afraid that i'm not good enough yet y'know? Like, I'm afraid that if I draw my ideas now...10 years from now I'll regret it..cause I know it will look horrible by then hahahha...buuut...everyone hates their old art yes? I might still wait a little longer, those concepts are really important to me and I want more time to improve!! ^__^

omg~ I CAN"T WAIT TO SEE IT!! please color it soon! I know your busy, but I'm super duper excited! O_O

kalile In reply to strawberrycake [2008-01-29 04:20:28 +0000 UTC]

I miss you so so much!! I really do! I talked to the rizzo lady today and she told me about you and your driving exploits. hehe. I want a ride, lady.



and as for art-- But yes--I feel the same way...we must age our drawing skills, not unlike a fine wine.

Never mind those talented youths! We shall be master elders in art. O yes.

I really want to see your ideas come to fruition! I shall sit by your feet and scratch at you until then! I understand where you're coming from--sometimes I think I get such cool ideas and I want to treasure them until I can execute them like they deserve, but either they gather dust in the back of my mind for I still do not have the skills or I just forget ...otherwise I just shred and throw away sad attempts.

And I'll try!!!

strawberrycake In reply to kalile [2008-01-29 05:04:36 +0000 UTC]

wahahha..i'm sure she had fun xD sure, next time when you come back!

lol i know what you mean about treasuring your ideas..I do that all the time! ;_; I'll probably never feel that I'm good enough to draw them.

I keep starting over on your trade o_o; I'll keep tryingg!!!
