Description I completely forgot about this. It's a painting I did about four months ago for *RustyRainbow 's birthday. It's Kyo of Dir en grey twisted in my own grungy/warped/ representational style done on black sugar paper with normal kids poster paints ans karisma colouring pencils.
I was basically trying to represent actual stage-kyo because I get very sick of looking at these too cute or overly exaggerated pretty drawing of him. Kyo doesnt want to be pretty. He wants to be disgusting. If you've seen the Saku and Clever Sleazoid PVs and still didn't catch on to this, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? *ahem* However Kyo still *is* good-looking so I was trying to get this (as in both sides) in the picture in other words kyo's intendedly disgusting stage performance + his natural looks = what kyo looks like. Or something like that. Please just say you understand what I'm getting at -.-;;
This, as you might have realised from the title is based of Kyo from the 'Vulgar' era, non dir en grey fans that's the image/music/tour associated with the album 'Vulgar' which is around 03/04. The corresponding tour was called Code of Vulgar[ism] which was, in a way referrance for this pic++

I love it. I think no matter what people are going to think him cute and put him that way, but i think your right. Im so glad someone drew him in a non-innocent picture. Kyo is sin in a japanese body. I love the picture. great job! :thumbs up:

Thanks =Steel-Girl made it. I was a little hesitant to use it at first because I can't stand the word 'cute' etc. ... If that makes sense?

brokenlink In reply to Alpha-Insane [2006-03-08 18:29:58 +0000 UTC]

yeah XD wouldn't want peopel to get the wrong idea now. for example, if it were me it'd probably not load properly and get stuck on 'cute'

Alpha-Insane In reply to brokenlink [2006-03-25 09:14:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah! Exactly! XD

I wouldn't want people thinking *I'm* calling him cute. There's no way in hell I would. Too much respect for him

deleted-pie [2006-03-06 23:45:21 +0000 UTC]

Wonderful representation! I think Kyo would prefer this to any other.

The way i see it though....

The children's paper is Kyo's childlike nature, the Kyo so catch unguarded off stage. The hair is his natural beauty, his sexyness. The blood is his vulgar, scary, grotesque side and his deep black eyes are the hurt and suffering he's felt. It has hollowed him out.

This is.....such an impactful peice... *gives full props and kuppos*

k-9wolf [2006-03-06 18:58:44 +0000 UTC]

i understand =O

and you did a wonderful job covering it =3
recognizably kyo.
recognizably disturbing

there's one thing maybe- just as crit,
it seems like it'd be kool to have kind of a glowy-red in the background, or maybe blood-like substances dripping?

and it looks like chalk/pastels. its very spiftacular ^-^ wonderful job <3

brokenlink In reply to k-9wolf [2006-03-06 19:07:41 +0000 UTC]

thank you!

yeah, normally I'm all: "BLOODY RED EFFECTS EVERYWHERE! WOO!!" but in this instance I was trying to do a spotlight on kyo, therefore concentrating all attention on kyo, as i said above this pic is based off live performance. He's got blood on him which also is in focus and personally I felt if i put it in the bg it'd take away from Kyo :3

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

k-9wolf In reply to brokenlink [2006-03-09 18:46:23 +0000 UTC]

now see-
how i initially pictured the effect being-
it would be like the lighting he so often uses whilst on stage (glowy red)
blood stuff was said as an alternative to that *nods*

it just seemed that the overall image (from a balance point) needed something more. (atleast, thats what i say XD hah.)

but, *shrug* its your art. and it still wonderfully captures kyo's spirit ^__^

I love this morbid version of Kyo. I know he doesn't want to be cute, though I still think he is. But he is very sexy when he looks warped, especially in the Obscure pv . . .

I heart the funlalicious hair as much as I heart how you did something completely different from what you usually draw. It's always funny to see how people do when trying out different forms of art.
