Description Work-In-Progress #1 (partial) OR "Kuroshitsuji Shirobara" (color) of Sebastian with black wings. I'm almost finished with the figure. What's left is the wings which takes up the majority of this picture. This is just a partial view of Sebby's head and the white rose.

I just got to the scan of original Japanese manga about this "young master's favorite rose" -- it's 白薔薇 (white rose), but subtitled in katakana as スターリング・シルバー ('Sterling Silver' Rose), which is a lavender-pink rose...


What am I going to do about the rose coloring now...?

Awwww, you're so sweet. I would eventually like to draw other characters from "Kuroshitsuji", too -- like Madam Red and Ciel, but I'm too busy ogling Sebastian ... just yet.

Sebastian is LOVE.

Oohh he's enchanting all right XD Oooooo "innocent black wings" You know if you put that into a certain context and thought hard enough about it lol it could be considered an oxymoron. BUT I love the white rose cause it's balance to the black wings. Of course maybe now I'M thinking too much about it! LOL It's a pretty pretty lol ^_^

Haha. You know, I almost put "innocent black wings (oxymoronic!)" to my earlier reply. We think so alike!

The anime (and probably the original manga, too) does poke fun at the ecclesiastical religion, pointing out their lies, deception, corruption, etc. Sebastian is like the voice of reason that questions all that. In some sense, he's very "pure". (Ep. 17 of the anime actually showed him doing a girl in a hut on a church ground... "innocent"..."pure"...uh huh... )

Voice of reason and and he desecrates holy ground..... with a woman?! For some odd reason I just assumed it was more yaoi-ished!

I'm not into yaoi manga/anime per se. If they offer that in doujinshi, I might pick it up, but things don't have to be yaoi to catch my attention. Because I LOVE inserting myself in the unwritten fan fic of my mind with my bishies. But yeah, the age difference between Sebas (legal) and Ciel (13) pauses a bit of a problem (Not that demon would find anything wrong with it, but people might find it a bit too pedo in flavor. Anime does have its moment of pleasing the yaoi (and het) fangirls though.

I'm panicking thinking that there might be only 26 episodes for this series, judging from the wiki entry...

Catssyclaws In reply to aruarian-dancer [2009-02-27 03:46:41 +0000 UTC]

Well, I knew that. Just for some reason when I watched that video in your journal I only saw guys LOL so I figured there would at least be yaoi undertones throughout.. kinda like with Kyo Kara Maoh! Which I haven't been able to get through, unfortunately. Because everyone says the second season is way better than the first. lol It's just too... too something for me to really get into it like I get into some other things.

Ah! I hate when animes I really like only have 26 episodes. And I especially dislike the ones that only have 13 (*gnaws on Black Blood Brother creators* ...maaakkeeee mooorrreeee eppiisssooodddessss lolol)

aruarian-dancer In reply to Catssyclaws [2009-02-27 04:49:46 +0000 UTC]

Ture, the OP clip (both versions) basically only show boys... And yeah, the red guy with long hair and a chain saw definitely wants Sebby(There was a declaration in one ep. where he said "I want to have your babies."...). Bwahaha.

I'm kinda warming up an idea for a fic with an OC added into the mix. At the moment, it's brewing up to be kind of incestuous...*sigh* Pervy mind never stops churning stuff.

If the series really ends with only 26 ep., I might have to start a doujin comm over at LJ like champloo-dj and translate like crazy.

LOL I figured there had to be somethin' going on there with the chainsaw boi. He was grinning way too madly at Sebby lol to not be obsessed with him.

Ooohhh ficness! lol How would it be incestuous? I don't know the characters so who's brothers or sisters or brother/sister? lol

XD I'd probably join even though I hardly know what it's about! lol good doujin is good doujin! ...although I should totally look up the manga.

Based on the fact that Sebby would do a girl (ep 17 of the anime), I've been thinking about writing a fic, inserting my OC named Lilith, who is a twin sister of Sebby... Visiting to check on him to see what's taking him so long with Ciel's soul maybe... They could have a moment of fun in the darkness. Hee!

anilinkz has all the episodes that's out so far subbed in English, if you want to check out the anime. Scanlation of the manga is easy to find as well.

Ooooo sounds like an interesting idea! Fun in the darkness is always... well... fun! LOL XD

I'll read the manga before I watcheth anything lol I tend to like manga more... in most cases.

Sidelong glance with a grin. Teehee! Yummy!
They make it pretty clear in the series that the young master's favorite flower is a white rose. And they had this beautiful image in the ending theme #2 where Sebas-chan is standing over the young master ('s dead body... I presume) laid in a coffin full of white roses. Very romantic.

Awwww....

I thought it was Sterling roses, which are a silver/lavender rose... but that might be a problem with the translation I have. Which I wouldn't be surprised at, at all....

aruarian-dancer In reply to liralenli [2009-02-26 19:04:43 +0000 UTC]

I got my hands on the original manga in Japanese about this today. Guess what? The main text clearly spells out 白薔薇 which is undoubtedly "white rose", but the small subtitling in katakana right along the kanji spells out スターリング・シルバー・ローズ which is "Sterling Silver Rose". *sigh* So the scanlation was correct. And the anime was correct.

I guess I'm going to give the rose a lavender tint after all...

I never knew fanart can give me headaches like this.

Hehehe. Thanks. I'm too new to this fandom to do anything other than canon. Actually, that's my preference for seeing or reading other people's work as well. I prefer the characters to be "in character" (but I have not seen the wings in the series... just yet... Although I have seen the original creator's illustration of winged Sebastian. ).

I've only watched the anime, so you're probably right on that. In the anime, there are characters not found in the manga, too. So...

I'm almost ready to write a fan fic after watching ep. 17. (You wouldn't believe it, but Sebby was banging a girl in a hut to try to get some information out of her! )
