I had another of my productive nights yesterday. Sure, I planned to go to sleep early, but before I knew it the muses jumped me and I ended up doodling the life out of at least three pages. >___< Given enough time I might actually finish some. o__O

There's...

• one 1x2 fanart, lineart done.
• one half-finished coloured pencil prize thingie.
• one picture for Asy.
• one sketch for Keara's commission.
• outline for yet another of my two-or-so-paged doujins.
• a heapload of random-and-rather-tiny sketches for various purposes, but mainly action ones.
• the ongoing original manga (*cough*outline of first page*cough* But I do have the script done, which is progress, considering my usual manner of work).
• and this, luckily finished:

Kinda big, but otherwise the lettering would be hard to read. I was playing around with this sketch, to see what can be done, mostly. That, and I always wanted to make a pic with that quote in it. Did I mention I think the man is a god, for thinking that up?

This might as well be a fandom drabble. Insert a manical murderer, and you're all set. *grins*

The sound that flowing blood makes, is silvery-white. I can hear the droplets sliding down the dull steel of the machetes I’m gripping, my eyes still closed. I can feel the rivulets slipping down, lower and lower, until the very tip of the blade – then, as unexpected as the sunrise, a drop tears from the metal and falls down, onto the ground, with a silvery chime.

The peal startles me. I blink and all of sudden the darkness around me starts to shift. I sense shapes emerging from the fuzziness, I feel sounds dancing on the edge of my perception, I hear the crimson – so much crimson – splattered all around. With a sudden intake of breath, I suddenly am aware of all of my senses. My fingers loosen on the coarse handles of both weapons, allowing the razor-sharp tips to droop and etch themselves into the ground, when I release them. The sound of their descend is surprisingly dull and empty, amidst the overwhelming grey sparkling of falling tears.

My hands are warm. I raise my arms high into the air, against the blue sky, taking in the rich red staining them. I watch, fascinated, as the hollow of my palm fills with liquid and overflows, floating down, over my forearms. Only then do I look around. My eyes slide through the red springtime meadow, moving ever so slowly, taking in every detail. Flowers are blooming here, I notice with joy. I walk to them slowly and kneel, reaching out to touch the pristine white petals. “Beautiful,” I breathe – white petals surrounding a golden heart. Pretty, pretty daisies, blooming in a field of red.

*ogles pretty pic* Oh man, it's beautiful, the quotes fits in very nicely as well and doesn't distract the eyes from the focus of the pic which is of course Duo and Heero. Lovely! *huggles*

On a side note: *poke poke* So when is A World in a Grain od Sand going to be updated? Is it planned by any chance? *silence*

*Pout*

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *smiles* I rather like how it turned out too.

*coughs* Well, I am trying... but this is one stubborn story. *dies* No, seriously, I have an inkling as for how to progress, but I have trouble with keeping the ending relatively believable. x___X I do have the ending planned, more or less. It's just a question of getting there.

[ashenskies.livejournal.com]

oh my. *ogles* I love the colour scheme, and the burnt wind/sand-blown quality of the colouring - makes the pic seem like something out of a memory that's fast disappearing. brings this whole... nostalgic, ache-y feeling to mind. *worships* rather like the feeling I try to bring across in some of my fics - a picture really does speak a thousand words.

it's beautiful! ^___^

and that drabble is well done. some concrit for you, if you'll take it...? colours as sound - nice idea, and you pulled it off perfectly. 'a drop tears from the metal' - nice imagery there, and the reader (or just me) imagines both the drop tearing (ripping) from the metal, and the metal weeping. ^_^ 'all of sudden' is missing an 'a', though. I think it's 'descent' instead of 'descend', too: the first is a noun, the second a verb I think.

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

^___^ It does. Now I wish I could convey that into the fic. *dies* Thank you very much. I think you just pointed out everything I wanted to say with it. *huggles* I'm so happy. *beam*

I really like the idea of senses overlapping. Glad to hear it turned out good. *smile* It is a running problem with me, the small mistakes. I am used to scanning through the text, rather than actually reading it, and I do tend to miss those. >.> I'm a crappy beta. Thanks for the comment! *tackleglomps*

[ashenskies.livejournal.com]

just goes to show you really *are* a damn good artist. *beams*

yeah, I like the idea too. using it in your murderer thing brings out the fact that he's, well, not normal.

as for commenting, no problem - it's what I felt, upon reading it, so I just put it down. glad you didn't mind. ^_^

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thank you.

Not normal? Why, tearing people to pieces is a socially acceptable behaviour! *grin* No, really. I was wondering, since I cannot stand much blood in the movies, how would a person cope with causing this much bloodshed. *watches everyone inch away* Yes, I am a sick little kitten.

I am very grateful. *hugs*

[ashenskies.livejournal.com]

a mark of a good writer is how he/she tries to get into people's head and dissect their brains. *grins* so far you're on the right track! of course, you'll get funny looks once in a while, and find yourself washing your hands in the middle of the night trying to get the spots out...

[merula31]

Very lovely picture to go with a lovely quote.

The ficletty was disturbing- but that was the point right? *grin* The white daises in the red field is a very striking image...

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

*beams* Thankies!

*grins* Good, that means I did my job right. Dunno why, since I can't stand much gore in movies, but I am kind of fascinated with these kind of imagery. Wording. Ideas. *joins Sick Kittens Legion* And of course I am an artist, so I tend to think in images. Unless I'm drawing. Then I think in stories. x___X

[gwy.livejournal.com]

O_O Thats sooooooooooooooooo cute!
Oh my, i really really love it. I am sad that i am short on money or i'd ask you to draw something for me ^^

Wonderful picture, i love Duos face. And his hand, as always.

And wow are you productive! I still have so many pics i need to finish (a halloween one and its just a sketch so far *gah* and doujinshi and my own doujinshi and also a pic for Asy (do you draw for her book??) and gaaah. Wish i'd have a comission to do too though ^^)

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *smiles*

Productive or just inconsistent. x____X I start heaploads of stuff, but only some got finished. Yes, I do. *grin* I'm sure you will. I did wait some time for my first commission to come in. *huggles*

[theotherdigit.livejournal.com]

That's one very lovely picture *_*. Love the style and the colour scheme, and the quote fits nicely =^_^=.

Speaking of The World In A Grain Of Sand though... Is the fic finished o.o;? Or have you dropped it?

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

I know! I love the quote soooo much. Thank you very much. *huggles*

No! Definitely did not drop it. Just... it is a difficult story to write, and it requires a certain mood to do so. I wrote the most recent chapter after the London bombings, as I recall. I am trying, I really am! I do have the ending planned though, and I have a really good idea what is going to happen in the next parts.

I am just reluctant to actually get down to it, since it does not scream Happy Ending to me. And I like Happy Endings.

[hellfire-angel.livejournal.com]

Well, then I'm going to let you borrow my muses since they keep nimbling on me but I have no time to write anything for them. I wish I did, but unfortunately my psychotic professor won't allow it to happen. *whimper*

Do the best you can, I'm just poking since the evil cliffy you left made me want to cry. However, cliffies are a good thing and I'll still wait for the update since the fic hooked too much to let go. Especially since it's almost the end. *sniff*

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

Muses for this particular story are rather moody. They are also dark, kind of solemn and a little depressing, which is why it's hard to me to get them to cooperate, since I am an eternal optimist. Thanks for waiting. I know how annoying WIP stories are, those that just hang in there for an undefinite period of time...

Sorry to hear about the prof. o___O Is he that bad?

[hellfire-angel.livejournal.com]

Yep, she sure is. I only have her class once a week and yet she assigns everything she can and it takes us until the next class to finish it all. Unfortunately, the class is directly tied into my major (art education) so I can't drop the class and she's the only one who teaches it since it's a new program. *Le sigh*

I have to get my WIP stories started again. I sort of slipped into a hiatus while I'm in school. So hopefully as soon as turkey day comes along I can update again. ^_^

[avidita.livejournal.com]

Very, very beautyful!

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]
