Description Well... This is the finished version of the sketch I posted up. I didn't really say anything in depth about the sketch, so I feel I should here. >_>

Yes, it's a human heart the character is holding. A human heart... if you can consider it human if it's from the body of a god, but never mind. >____>

The character is Aether, the antagonist from my story Divinitas [link] . And yes, he cut the heart out of another person (if you read the story, I think you should be able to guess, so I'm not going to specify. >_> ) and he is happy about it.

Just think about what a heart symbolises, and the title of the piece. Forbidden. Heart. Blah blah blah. Whatever. He couldn't have it freely, so he sold half his soul for it. ^_^ Or something.

Okay, I will stop now. Image was done in Painter 6 and PhotoShop 7. Of course I used a refernece for the heart. I am not *that* sick and twisted to go cutting out human hearts and studying them in my free time!!! Only Aether would do that. ^_^

And yes, I know his heart hand is screwed up, and the blood looks awfully fake, but hopefully you can still deduct that's it's blood considering what he's holding. ^_^

This piece was stolen. I've seen it before, all you did was change the border and added your icon.

Yes, I'm SURE it's stolen. That's why I have the SKETCH of it in my scraps section. Not to mention I have the actual sketch in my folder sitting on the other side of my room, as well has the huge .psd file that was used to create it sitting on my HD. >___> Get your facts straight before you start accusing me of stealing artwork which I created. Aether is MY original character from Divinitas [link] as unforunate as that may be, but he is MINE, and this artwork is MINE. I put the time and effort into it, not whoever else stole it. So I would like a sincere apology from you for your wrongful accusation. >___<

I'm hoping your did a typo... or otherwise you didn't read my comments... but the character is a HE... not a HER.... That would just be... weird and... not good. HE. Aether is definately a HE. He's the main seme in my story and it would just be... wrong if he was a she... X___x

I love this picture to death. I drew a heart once and it looks no where as good as yours right there. The blood looks awesome and Aether just looks so happy about doing that...

*excited*

mmmmmm, I like his nails. Sure, the heart and everything is great but his nails.....(hot mama) I tried to go to the link but then it said...some sort of error and then I went to the site but... I got lost (I was so far from my deviant home) ^^ The heart is hot too (so bloody and loverlies gore) and so is his bracelit His hair is nice and shiny (shineys are good) It's all very well colored (a nice improvment on the already-good sketch) Now I know why EE worships you! Ah, bishie-wings and blood, what be a better combo?

Eheheheheh... ^_^; Me bad, can't even type in my own website URL. But I fixed it now! Yay for me! ^_^ Um... nails... Aether files his nails and uses them to cut Phoenix's flesh when he doesn't have a blade on hand. ^_^ Isn't he sweet??? I think so. I mean, just think about it! Do you know how annoying it is to get blood and skin out from underneath you fingernails? And Aether is willing to ignore all of that for Phoenix-chans! Phoenix-chans should be greatful! ^_^

*laughs* It's a beautifully coloured picture. It's kind of disturbing though especially since that heart looks so real, but from what I've read of Aether it's something I could see him doing.
I like the picture in a 'I like it but it disturbs me sort of way'

x.x I feel bad that this got lost in my inbox x.x; it's truly gorgeous, and has a nice sense of realism. Especially concerning the heart ^_^ such beautiful colours, skin tone, expression, and duality. And the details x.x especially with the hair *_* and the cross fits so wonderfully into it. Morbid and dark, yet tasteful and elegant.

I also like how you have him licking the blood from his hand >__>

Wow Absolutely beautiful. I love how the overall picture is so beautiful and dark, but the hair. Its so vibrantly colored! Realy stands out nicely. Heart. Gotta have a ref. Looks great though, like a real one. [medical books] kekeke~

Vampyric-Saiyaness [2004-03-21 07:59:50 +0000 UTC]

WOW. I love how the streaks of blood look on his hands, and how the heart actually looks like that once pulsating organ and not a blob of red.

You even drew where the arteries and such should have come from and..and.... I like it!.
I like how in this one his 'other' eye actually shows as well, and it fits with the whole demon/angel thing he has going, as if the eye is an embodiment of the evil in him, rather than the good.

If that makes sense...

I love how his hair remains ever-immaculate, regardless to the tattered state the dark side of him is.

Mmm. IT's for the project. Very, very cool symbolism. That's very, very, veyr creepy. You cg is amazing. Very realistic heart. I like teh clothing textures. Oh god it's freaing me out.. o.o; His hair's really shiny. The hand and the rest of the skin are also really really well done. Amazing textures.
