Yeah, so it's pretty damned rare that I post or do anything traditionally, so when I do, you'd better appreciate it cause there's no telling when I'll do it again. I probably only do one or two every two years, cause digitally colored pieces and everything I can do with them is cooler to me...well, in my own honest opinion. Anyway, Afro Samurai was calling for me to draw. So I took a piece of red cardstock, a black fine point sharpie, and a white charcoal pencil and this image was born. Apparently the wife liked it enough to frame and hang on the wall. Now if only I could get her to draw something and frame it.

This is not the Heart you know, this is the Heart Aino (ok, so shoot me). Anyway, this is the last picture I'm moving over for now. I may actually post an entirely new piece of artwork on my next entry. Anyway, I drew good ol' Heart Aino after the night me and my friends went to the Planet Zero Anime Center on Westheimer here in Houston and played this awesome, beautifully hand drawn animated all girl fighter called Arcana Heart, and I was POSITIVE it would be released over here...and sure enough it was...on the PS2. I owned it. I played it. I couldn't beat it. The end boss is RIDONKULOUSLY hard, but the game is still pretty to look at. Then again, almost all anime and anime related stuff is pretty to me.

Because I foolishly entered Udon's Darkstalkers 15th Anniversary Tribute book thinking I actually had a shot of getting in...yeah, confidence was pretty high for a little while. I hadn't heard back so I'm guessing it's pretty safe to say it's not going in so I'm gonna post it for everyone else to see. It's of my all time favorite character, Jon Talbain, cause werewolves kick ass. I saw a couple of other entries that didn't makes it in as well and they were pretty frickin' phenomenal so it makes me wonder what kind of masterpieces were actually picked for the book, or if all the pieces were actually done by actual comic book artists that worked for Udon or other studios, which gave all the rest of us hopefuls no chance of getting picked, even though they were asking all fans to do stuff. I'm pretty sure most of what's in there will be by actual studio and comic book workers, but this is mine. And though it's not perfect, the hours upon hours upon hours I spent on it make it all worth it to me. Don't care what anyone else says, this is my masterpiece. I could die tomorrow and be satisfied with myself, lol.

I felt like creating a new character and a fellow Deviant let me use some of her stock for the inspiration. I think I'll name this new CHRiSTOON "Topaz"...maybe...
