Description fallen angels at my feet
whispered voices at my ear
death before my eyes
lying next to me i fear
she beckons me shall i give in
upon my end shall i begin
forsaking all i've fallen for i rise to meet the end

“Whisper”
-- Evanescence –


Once upon a time a certain most evil character wasn’t quite so evil. In fact, he was incredibly bishi and he had a very sweet, if intense, personality. However, not everyone grows up to be an angel of beauty and grace. This particular character had an unfortunate relationship with a certain Queen of a land of dark sorcery (I’m still debating what the nature of this unfortunate relationship was *waggles eyebrows*).

She used dark magic to break him, stealing that part of him that held his conscience and that part of him that knew how to love and be human. In front of his eyes she showed him the beauty of his soul, the incandescent, glimmering thing that held everything good about him … and then she destroyed it.

Permanently.

And thus was born Cestus … who, for those who do not know of his tendencies, is really, really, really eville.

(Thanks go to for giving me the idea to draw this pic in the first place! *bows to Yzabel* *grin*)

(This picture shows him staring at that part of him she is about to destroy… there are unknown tears falling down his face, yet, his breath is caught at the beauty of the thing he sees, despite the pain he is experiencing from the things she put him through).

*dances* It’s done It’s done It’s done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooh... He -is- extremely beautiful... I just love his hair and his necklace. Poor thing looks so sad. He seems like the helpless and sweet pretty-boy that needs someone to take care of him. I will!
*fave*

@.@ his face is so angelic! and the radiance of the background adds to that effect.. and the way his shirt stretches against his chest shows how well muscled he is.

This is my bishi. He's marked now bwahha. mmmm..hmmm.

The lyrics go well with the character, and I love everything about this, not to mention the character.

And you did it... already? Wow

Lovely colors and lighting, the way it contributes to shape the atmosphere of this picture is goreous. I find his face especially fascinating, he seems to be so unbalancing between emotions, as if he didn't know whether he should smile at the beauty or go on crying on what he's about to lose. The bluriness of the background makes the whole scene quite intimate, existing for him only, a last moment allowed with the good parts of his souls - just as the last will of a man condemned to death, in a way. If there's one thing that would distrub me in the drawing, it'd be the top of his head, that looks a bit 'flat' compared to the hair's movement, maybe. It gets quickly overwhelmed by the beauty and intensity of the picture, though. And this glimmering little soul, as small and insignificant as it can seem, however shines strongly... very strongly... focusing the gaze of the watcher as well as Cestus'. Is it caused by ephemeral nature forced upon it, perhaps....

Saray: *blink blink* Oh. My.
Dak: *gape* Holy....
Tayen: WOW.
Saray: I almost...*tilts her head to the side and blushes* think he's attractive.
Dak: *nods mutely*

WOW!

Who knew Cestus could be a bishie?

Very nice. I think it's one of your best. Definetely a plus fav.

I...hmm...damnit. You would give me something that I have trouble critiquing...I suppose the only thing I could even dream of nitpicking over issss....his right arm seems to be coming out of his shoulder wrong and maybe the color of his shirt? *shrugs* I'm never a big fan of pastels so maybe it's just me but his right arm does feel funny.

As for things I love...uhm...the whole picture? I LOVE his face. The expression is just wonderful and you've done a terrific job with his hair. The lighting and the color as usual is just beautiful and it really adds to the beauty of the image.

All in all, a beautiful work. One of your best.

Ja Ne,
Tay

within my pain i find freedom
within your barbs the steel is made mine

mistake not these tears
for they stand against you

your victory finds only my blood
for even in dying
my spirit freely moves beyond

mistake not these tears
for i am free
beyond these chains
which bind your soul
as they bind this body

within this moment you are the one
entrapped within a prison of your making
so ends the spell farewell...



some interesting ideas traces out within these final words
is she weaving a spell to entrap the captors?
giving freely of life to get close enough to use a final magic

in the end a scarifice to achieve checkmate?

or it could be free beyond the abiity of chains to hold?


I wrote this before I read your description, i wanted to see what
thoughts your beautiful painting conjured before reading it

I hope you like it

Absolutely amazing... The expression you've captured on the face is very emotive, and the profile angle, the posing, it all adds up to create a very strong piece of art. Beautiful coloring...I love your coloring!

oh...my...god..

*faints* this is gorgeous ... to gorgeous for my meager language skills. Lemme try anyway..

The details in his shirt folds are just amazing. His collar..wow. The background *drools* I wish I could say better things. I love that little line of..text? up in the top left. Adds a very interesting texture to the background. I luffs it much..and it's not too light I would so have this as a poster!

I like it! Its a little bit sketchy, but I'm sure that was the intent, and it dosn't hurt the picture at all. The colors are pretty good, and bring out the picture nicely!


Please check out my stuff!
