Artist's Comments

So I broke down and watched Legend, and that same night had a vividly romantic dream about Tim Curry as Darkness. As you do. I can't be the only good girl who has a crush on the devil, can I?

I didn't care for the movie aside from Darkness, and was especially put off by the character Lily, so I wondered who would be appropriate to pair with His Evilness. Saint Agape (of Barbucci & Canepa's Sky Doll) just kind of inserted herself, and she's perfect. She's an embodiment of goodness and sacrifice, of sensuality and a pure heart -- and they still have things in common. If Darkness is going to fall in love with someone, I want it to cripple him. I want him to be completely defeated by her. I want him to give in. That's what good love does to you.

I would almost guarantee that these two have never been drawn on the same paper together. I also almost guarantee (less confidently) that this is the last time I'll be drawing Darkness. But I said that about Bowie, so. You never know.


materials: pencil, paper, PS7
music: Gigi, "Nafekeñ"

You are the Poison, I am the Cure. In Reality we are mortal enemies , but in fiction we are allies. We are the True Yin&Yang, let us free you from your mind

well done!
:iconblithegirl:
I recognized Agape at once, that is an awesome graphic novel
great job on this
:icontwistedbeyondhope:
Legend = much spiff and win

So does the picture. I agree with your comment about who Darkness falls in love with. It should be all-encompassing. Wondiferous. =3

Oh my god, I totally agree. I have had those dreams and I am not embarrased to admit that.

Well... maybe a teeny tiny bit... :giggle:

a solitary dreamer been meaning to make it outside

...i will read all their dreams to the stars...

I agree about Lily, she really didn't portray "innocence" all that well. I'm glad you replaced her for Darkness' love and sake.

The portray of breaking him down and having him "fall in love" is very fascinating in this piece. I'm really not sure of the character that you're talking about [maybe because I've never heard of her], but I will trust your judgement.

Beautiful design of the crown, very beautiful and discriptive of their love.

i completely agree.

also...john denver's "All This Joy" very nearly made me cry while i looked at this...for a Devil, a creature so cruel to have a gentle lamb to love him after a hard day of being evil...i've always liked those kinds of tales ~shrugs~



gorgeous artwork...was it very difficult trying to capture Darkness' face and horns?

There's only a few true vampires and no Cullens are on that list. Besides, Jareth the Goblin King is the only one who can pull off OMGMANSPARKLES!!! and still be considered believably wicked.
:icondjkibykat:
yes, so true. Because what is darkness without the light to balance each other?

And thus did the prinny say:
"Dood"
Amen!

Spreading the message of prinnyism since 2003, prinny holy bibel coming soon...once I write it.
