I draw things. I write things. I consider doodling art. This is my DeviantArt account while this is my normal, rambling account. .

Elisabeth Bathory: The Blood Countess

Possibly the most prolific female serial killer in history, a primary inspiration for Dracula, one of the most reviled women in history, and, I argue, innocent.

Elisabeth Bathory, inspiration for Dracula and ostensibly history’s most prolific female serial killer, was born on this day in 1560. The official story on her is fishy as hell, though, and there’s evidence she was framed - but she was certainly no angel.

A simple sketch session featuring Sakura from @silverfootstepswrites 's "Butterfly". XD Fun fact: I researched the costume guidelines for skating, & Sakura's giant wings above are a no-go. :D I think I confused this one with ballet. Ballet-skating? Is that possible... Anyhow if anyone wants to improve this, feel free to do so but please tag me at the finished product! :D

This is what happens when you post your selfie, kiddies: some random artist gets bored and plays with your pic.

Birthday gift again to rabidbehemoth. :D

"Under the Sakura Tree — RuKen"

UGH I FINALLY FINISHED THIS ARGH I LOST TWO DAYS OF MY LIFE BUT IT WS WORTH IT BUT IT WAS HARD PAINTING WAS SUCH A —

Ahem. 

This was done for the super duper awesome rabidbehemoth. This is her OTP, the only ship that she says that she sails with a burning passion.

Done partly as a belated (?) birthday gift. Or maybe early…

Anyhow, for her general awesomeness and helpfulness (I learn new things from her), I created this beast of an art. ARGH, first time I’ve done something this… taxing. T__T

BUT IT WAS AWESOME!

Anyhow, I can’t draw them faces — so use your imagination. And I planned to draw them in their old age, wrinkly, white-haired, a kind of wishful thinking because of that tearjerker ending on how Kenshin died…

Anyway! This is for you, Rabiddani! :D

[This is only a fan art. I get no profit from this.

"Castalia (head portrait)"

Something 'seriously art' as most of my fanart for ForestWhisper3's fic "Horizons" was... doodly.

I hope I got this right -- nobody said how long her hair was, and since FFVII is deff Square Enix's game, I'm guessing that most of their characters have flow-y hair, hence the attempt at 'flow-y' hair. I gave her short her because she just seem to be the type to go around, and her hair will be getting into places and all, so she cut it short.

Time taken: 10+ hours on Photoshop CS5.

Another fanart, this time a photomanip. Image borrowed/taken from here. This is purely for enjoyment; I reap no money from this.

This is a fan art ‘book cover’ for Horizons by ForestWhisper3. 

Obviously, horizons make one think of sunsets and sunrises. Since Cloud is the other main character, I opted for a ‘cloudy sunset’ image. Heh.

Anyhow, thanks for viewing!

Alternate ‘book cover’. Again, I get no profit from this. 

… I have to sleep now. Thanks for viewing!

"Scary Cassie"

Castalia from "Horizons” by ForestWhisper3. 

Cassie’s behavior is awesomely weird, LOL. I can totally see her doing this to kid!Cloud. :3

I also intended to color this, but FUUU COLORING IS SO HARD WAH.

"Cassie and Cole"

A wee bit of fanart for the Self-Insert fic, Horizons by  ForestWhisper3 which you can read here. Very rough fanart for Castalia and Cole mixing… something…

My tablet stopped working midway, ARGH.

Anyhow, if peeps are curious, ForestWhisper-chan didn’t inject many descriptions of the characters, except for “Dark brown hair that looks black, hazel eyes, and lightly tanned skin (which is currently not so tan from growing up in a mountain environment)".

Not really helpful, lol. So I didn’t know if Cole’s too old or not, or if Cassie’s hair is long or short. Bah.

Regarding Cassie, I just gave her short her, since she seems practical and all. Not to mention the shenanigans she does (evil laughter, ninja walks) would be hindered by long hair. Then I made it wavy and flow-y-like since Final Fantasy’s trademark are the flow-y and wavy hairs. I wanted to give her shorts (she has them underneath the skirt) but I figured that since’s Cassie’s young-ish here, she still wouldn’t have that much say in clothing.

Random psychoanalysis of a character there.

Anyhow, thanks for viewing!
