😭😭😭 Thank You So Much! I Love You Too!!!

This was this late summer's/early autumn's "I've got nothing to do for at least five minutes D:" picture. Yeah, I always have my drawing stuff with me for cases like that. xD

I actually made an interesting experience with this picture:

When I was drawing at a convention, a few guys who thought they were oh so funny watched me draw and one of them asked if they were kissing. (I just answered absolutely matter of fact, that if they were kissing their lips would actually touch. Of course that was not what he meant, but he didn't dare to open his mouth again after that, so yeah. xD)

On another occasion an elderly lady saw me draw and she was seemingly disturbed by the motif. I overheard her retelling what she saw to her husband and she on the other hand discribed it as "two men fighting".

At first I dismissed the "kissing" as well as the "fighting" understanding as wrong (compared to my own of course), because neither of those were what I wanted to show. After a while though I realised that this wasn't quite true. Those interpretations are still not "right", but they are not completely wrong as well. They are just ... incomplete. Seen together though they can actually get pretty close to my own understanding. Each of those people saw one of the tensions I had planned, but failed to see the other.

And in my opinion that's extremely interesting! I just love to hear other people's interpretations on my pictures! Especially on those that are actually not supposed to show a specific scene but more ... a state of mind or a certain mood or the nature of ... whatever. On pictures that are symbolic. Like this one here.

Just a little heads up: I'm alive and I'll try to post a few more drawings before the new year!

First up is a little series of portraits, featuring my favourite characters of three of my hypes from this year: The Magnus Archives, NEO: The World Ends With You and The Great Ace Attorney.

If you follow my reblog blog @schluesselschwert you probably already know who they are. x'D

Hope you all had as good a year as you possibly could and I wish you happy holidays!

Di[e]ce Appreciation Week | Day 1: The Die is Cast.

Don’t leave me.

I love how you start reading Di[e]ce and you’ve got no idea what’s going on. The word itself isn’t even mentioned in the manga’s first volume and even later on, whenever it seems like things are getting clearer, they just don’t.

This manga turns everything upsidedown. The plot, the characters, their relationships … There’s just so much tension in this manga, it’s incredible.

Oops, akusaimonth is already over and I only finished one picture out of the four picture set for the first prompt.

So, yeah. My very first crack pairing ever. (Well, maybe not as much crack as I thought, because it turned out there’s in fact a vague, but possible basis for them, but I’m still trying to forget the end of AA3, so ... )

It just suddenly started with Godot saying “I’m already seeing a very hot someone, so I’m afraid you’ll be waiting for a very long time.”  And I was so perplexed by Simon Blackquill immediately coming to my mind, that I almost missed the Godot pun. Both of them. (coffeemaniac)

I just love the dynamics that would result from their interaction, with Simon being someone who gets what he wants by manipulating people, frightening them mostly, and Godot on the other hand being completely unfazed by such methods, (almost) always staying collected and always on top of the situation, incredibly dominant too. I imagine it as a constant, playful, power struggle with a lot of tension. And I love tension.

So, @emsawards just went and took the two things I obsess about the most at the moment and put them together into one, thrilling, amazing fanfiction. I couldn’t be more happy!

(For the designs, I picked a little from the manga, a little from the movie, the paladin armor, their normal outfits, Keith’s space pirate outfit and of course a good part of @v-0-3 artwork of Shiro that started it all. Though I changed Shiro’s haircolour to white in the end, because I love the contrast to Keith.)

"At Last"

It's Koujaku's birthday (August 19)!!! To celebrate I decided to finish this drawing / colour experiment from May! The colours are heavily inspired by one of my favourite Magic the Gathering illustration: "Dueling Rapier" by Anna Podedworna. Although I ended up using them a little different, ehehe...

psssst - is there going to be an akusai event this year?? >.> asking for a friend. (me - i'm the friend).

Hey friend! :) You know what? Yes, let's just do it again! I've been considering for a while, but actually: The joy of seeing everone's works outweighs any negatives. So yeah! I'll get one together! (Even though it's suuuuper late. Sorry Dx)

It will be a Bingo again, same rules as last year too! I'll try to get everything ready before the next week!

I'm currently collecting prompts (I need 24 again) so if anyone has any ideas, please share them with me! In the replies, tags, asks, whatever!! I think it's better if it's not just my ideas!

Let's have a great month again this year!

OH MY GOD!!! Thank you, I'm so happy right now!! This sounds so promising already, I'm soooo looking forward to the next chapter! <3

And thank you, I'm glad you like my drawings!!! <3
