Description subito, con fuoco

Because the way he's hunched over, strolling like that puts me in mind of a certain crazed 19th century composer. xD;

I'm not really sure I meant to draw frills...I'm not really sure what I meant to draw. (I had a fever at the time I drew this). But thank you so much for adding this to your Favourites; I really appreciate it.

oooh nice frills. I'm quite a fangirl for men w/frills.

Great detail, and the tone of the whole pic is also very well suiting.
What does "subito, con fuoco" mean, uhh something like "sublety with flames"? Am I right? What language is it? just curious is all.

"suddenly, with fire"

It's Italian. (Musical dynamic indication.)

Suddenly, with fire... I love how it's red...

Actually, the first composer that came to my mind was Corelli. Then I read the title and it was Beethoven!

I don't read the DN manga, but I've been following the anime... Can't wait to meet Mello!

I was waiting for a fellow classical music geek to translate my caption.

I haven't been following the anime (too hard for me to get online for more than 5 min. a time). Is it any good? (I don't like the soundtrack at all...)

jinglefox In reply to XueLian [2007-03-20 02:27:58 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's actually pretty good. I don't know how it is compared to the manga though, since I've never read it. The live action movies are AMAZING. Especially the second one. They're wonderfully done. XD Especially the part where the police first meet L in his apartment. Sooo funny!

The soundtrack stinks, I agree. On episode 20, they had a new opening that was totally hard rock/metal. Ugh, I hate it. It's so angsty. XP

XueLian In reply to jinglefox [2007-03-22 13:00:03 +0000 UTC]

Aaaah, the movie--I want to see the movie!!! XD

I've heard the new opening sux, but I've also heard that Mikami, Mello, and Near are in the new opening, so I'm rearing to see it anyway.

Gimme a heads-up so I can get on Youtube and watch when Mello makes his first appearance as a kid, and again when he comes in as a [friggin' hot] 18-year-old, please. It'll be much appreciated!

jinglefox In reply to XueLian [2007-03-22 20:21:22 +0000 UTC]

Yup, but Mello and Near look kinda scary in the opening! X_X

Sure, I'll tell you when Mello makes his appearance! No prob!

"Beethoven was an angry man who loved soup, and that's why he died."

I've never read Death Note, but this is purdy. Good job on the rufflies on his collar.
