Background and Watermark for Tumblr Only (transparency doesn’t work well with Tumblr -x-”) See my DA for the No-Background and No-Watermark Version!: Literally just drew this for practice and to show off Destan’s tail since I haven’t drawn it in FOREVER XD (Which is stupid considering he ALWAYS has it out -x-”) and yes that white mane goes up his back there starting between his shoulder blades :3 And he STILL has a razor-like tail, it’s just under the fluff there, so if he swings that fluff really fast at you, you will get cut lol XD I like how the tail and pants turned out  actually the whole thing turned out a lot better then expected was working on shading the white skin since that’s really tricky sometimes to get the right amount of depth without making his skin look grey O.e I think I managed to pull it off this time pretty well. The mane and tail are based off the tail of a Kirin BTW I love those things XD Anyway that’s about everything. Materials Used: Bamboo Create Tablet, Manga Studio 5 Duration: about 3 and a half hours.

This is FEMALE YOUNG Thespas XD (AKA before he became a full Strig and thus his skin changed from light grey to the black that it is for MODERN!Thes. For those of you who didn’t know, Thespas is Gender Fluid [preferring a male form most of the time however]) and I imagine him singing “Stand By You” by Rachel Platten. It’s SO something Thespas would sing to someone he loves! Thespas LOVES Singing and Music more then almost anything in the world, it’s one of his passions. So I wanted to play with lighting (It’s all blue/cyan lighting here) while showing that AND practicing some perspective (Slight overhead view here) AND practicing the female form all at the same time and managed to do all of that in  this pic XD Proud of how this one turned out XD Had fun playing with the lighting and figuring out which color I wanted to go with (I imagine he’s on stage with cyan/blue stage lighting :3) Spent most of my time working on that post lol and the evil microphone >.> turned out alright though XD Feel free to comment! Remember, comments make me happy! Materials Used: Bamboo Create Tablet, Manga Studio 5 Duration: 3hrs exactly (started at 12am ended at 3am so that was amusing XD) Art and Thespas Marqui © Me Drawn while listening to  "Stand By You" by Rachel Platten https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-urmcz2RSwI

There is a No Watermark Version on my DA.

I got some questions as of late about Destan before he was cursed to be a Vampire and After. (AKA, Human vs Vampire) I was also asked to show all of his “Stitched on scars/held on by stitching body parts”: So here it is the answer to both XD (There is a no-watermark version on my DA) The scars should be kind of obvious and easy to see on the picture, least I hope they are. I tried to choose a post that showed them all. There IS one missing though. His right ear has stitching holding it on. But that’s almost always covered by his hair. Just an aside, all these scars ARE Black. Even if one drew him realistically they would be black. Necrotic tissue and all that lovlyness -p- Simply put, his skin turns black around the edges when it’s too late for them to be healed back. Whenever he sees that, he knows it’s time to whip out his needle and get to stitching himself back together again. So they aren’t pale grey or anything, they are black and as obvious as they seem on these pictures. He USED to have skin pigment *le gasp!* (not much, about the same as Azrael, his mother: Sar, or my OC Row (Queen of Death) but it was something!) and red hair XD Is anyone really surprised, though, about the hair, considering his personality? XD His hair was turned completely white when he was changed, but he had Thes give him the bloody red bangs (as something natural) in reference to his old hair color ^^ It’s nice to have someone that can permanently change things as your son XD He used to be a good mixture between his parents, with Red hair from his father. Pale skin from his mother, and one red eye and one blue eye (one from each parent XD) and a body build more like his mother. He still got mistaken for a Light being all the time though LOL XD (his wings didn’t help anything at all! And the aura he gave off that could easily be mistaken as a Light being aura, due to being part Angel AND Angel of Darkness -p-”) His wings and tail are the same in both forms so I left them out. Both forms had fangs as well. Materials Used: Bamboo Create Tablet, Manga Studio 5 Duration: About 2hrs or so. Art  and Destan/Raulael Magale © Me
