The Princess Of Light
And The King Of Darkness.

The next morning, as the sun breaks over the hill Lucius opens his eyes; he looks down at Lilly, her eyes closed, a smile on her face. He quietly gets out of the hammock, stopping it from rocking with his hand. He gets dressed and lays a piece of paper in her hand, he gently kisses her cheek. He quietly climbs down the ladder and out the front door. Daxis is waiting on the ground; he is holding a long package. Lucius walks up to him and he smiles at him, "here. This is the gift for the princess." Lucius takes it and straps it to his back.

Lucius walks over to rain, she is standing waiting. He gets on and she walks out of the stall, "have a nice trip, and tell her that I said hey." he begins to walk back to the village, Lucius nodes and he and rain head towards the bridge. As they leave Lilly opens her eyes, she sits up, holding the blanket to her breasts. She holds up the paper in her hand. It is a picture of her, walking in the spring. She flips it over and this is written on it, "to Lilly, I will return.-Lucius"

She smiles and looks out the window to see Lucius heading out on rain. She smiles, "I'll wait for you to return Lucius." Lucius rides out accost the bridge and through the forest. He comes to the gate between the forest and the fields. A man walks over to him, "hey guy. you want to go to the fields right?" Lucius nodes, the guy walks over to the gate and unlocks it, "there you go, this is the only pass to the fields from the woods to the castle." Lucius smiles at the man and starts to ride on, the man waves at him, "have a good trip."

Lucius rides through the pass and to the fields; Lucius looks out on the open grassy fields covering the lands of arcana. He rides accost the field, the grass swaying in the breeze. He cross the bridge and follows the path to walls at the town, rain rides accost the bridge and into the town. The streets are busy with people hurrying around, Lucius looks around in wonder, he had never seen so many people before in his life.

He rides up to a guard and he looks adown, "yes, what would you like to know?" the guard asks looking at him; he notices Lucius' pointed ears. "Are you here to see the princess? You have the same look as her." He points to the huge wooden doors, the guard scribbles something on a piece of paper, he hands it to Lucius. "Here you go, hand this to the gatekeeper and he will let you in." Lucius nodes and walks rain through the crowds.

Lucius walks rain up the stone steps to the castle doors; the path is free of people. He stops rain and jumps down, rain nays as he jumps off. He pats her and walks over to the gatekeeper, a huge man with fire red hair and a long beard. He looks down at Lucius, "what do you want little man?" Lucius holds up the note, the man takes it and examines it, he looks down at Lucius.

Noting his pointed ears, he tosses the note and nodes, "I'll let you in, the princess is expecting you already." He pushes the huge wooden door; it creaks open and Lucius smiles at the man, and walks through. The castle is enormous, its marbled surfaces reflecting the sun's light. Lucius looks up in wonder; it seems to him that the tallest tower pierces the sky.

He walks accost the grounds, and around the huge fountain, it's statue a marble master piece of the three gods of arcane. He walks up to the door and knocks tentatively. A small slot opens and eyes pear at him, "yes? Who is it?" they look at Lucius, he smiles at the eyes. "what do you want?" the eyes look at his ears, "are you here to see the princess by chance?" Lucius nodes, the slot closes and the door opens.

Lucius walks in and sees that the eyes belong to a young women, her looks aristocratic and authorative. She bows to him, "are you from the donovine providence?" Lucius nodes and she smiles. "The princess has been expecting you. This way." She starts to lead him through to a stair well. They begin to walk up the stairs, "I have never met another elf before, the princess will be pleased to see you." She says as they come to a door.

She opens the doors to reveal the throne room; a massive hall with stone pillars holding the curved ceiling, in the far end there stands a massive statue of the three goddesses. The two walk up to the statue, at its base is a curtained area. "Your highness, I have brought the young elf." the lady bows and Lucius does the same. After a moment a graceful hand lifts Lucius' chin, he looks up into the face of the princess.

"I have been expecting you. I am princess zera. Ruler of arcana." she smiles at his eyes take her in, he stands and zera looks at her servant," I wish to speak to him in privet. You may go Kari." She nodes and walks back out of the room, zera walks over the curtained area, moving the curtain she looks back at Lucius, "this will suffice." Lucius nodes, he walks over and follows the princess in.

In side the area sits a rounded bed, with fat cousions. Zera lays on this and Lucius stands. "How is daxis?" she asks looking into his eyes, his nodes and smiles at her, "he still remembers me..." she shakes her head, "did you know he used to be my protector?" Lucius shakes his head, looking at her questioningly. "Yes, he was the greatest fighter in this castle." She says with pride.

"Lucius, do you know who you are?" she asks looking into his eyes, he shakes his head. "You're an elf like me, but you also possess a greater power, granted to you by the goddesses." She shows him the back of her left hand, three points spin, their tails almost touching the next, the three connected in the middle. "This is the tri-crest, the mark of the goddesses." Lucius looks at the one on his hand.

"I see that you have been wondering about the mark. It means that you where chosen by the goddesses for a purpose." He looks back at her with understanding, "but you yourself will need to discover that purpose. It will reveal itself in time." Suddenly there is an explosion and the lady comes running into the room, "princess, the castle is under attack."

Zera gets up and says, "Bring me my sword." The lady nodes and hurries off, zera turns to Lucius, "will you help me defend this castle?" luscious nodes he takes the package off his back, handing it to zera she opens it. It is a special sword, the blade thick and curved. "The elf's tears. Daxius' sword." She hands it to Lucius, "use this to defend myself and this court." He nodes and takes it from her.

Guards rush into the room and take up fighting positions, "princess zera, this enemy is different. They're not from this world." One shouts as the lady runs back in. she hands zera her long sword and bow, "thank you, now go. Hide yourself in the shadows." The lady nodes and hurries off down a side hall. "We must defend this castle, even at the cost of our lives. For arcana and the goddesses." Zera says as they wait.

Then the massive doors blow open and black smoke rolls in and over the guard by the door. Then screams are heard and weird creature come rushing out from the smoke. They grab the guards and smash the struggling ones into the floor. The smoke clears and they see that all the guards have been captured, some are dead, one man in an armor helmet stands guarded by two creatures.

"Good evening princess zera." He says walking forward, the creatures walking behind him. Lucius takes a fighting position, "my name is Kara, and I rule the twilight world. I've come to take control of this world of light. Give up now and live." Zera shakes her head and stairs at him, "where there is hope, there is light. I will fight you and hold this world in that light."

Kara laughs at this, "this is no choice, this is the fate of the castle, nigh, the entire land of arcana. So choose princess." She looks at Lucius and he nodes at her. "Live or die zera. Live or die. The choice is yours." Lucius rushes Kara and the two guard creatures rush at him. Lucius dodges one of them and slashes the other along the side. It shrieks and falls to the floor, Lucius jams his sword into its back.

The other rushes at zera, with one quick motion she slices it in half. She smiles at him, "you attacks will fail for I am one chosen by the goddesses." Lucius walks over to Kara, just out side striking range. "If this is your choice, then I will oblige. You have chosen." Lucius rushes Kara and tries to strike at him, Kara moves to the side just in time. He raises his hand and small black particles gather by his hand. They cram together and form a long black sword.

"This is twilight's bane. It will send you to your fate." Lucius stands ready to fight. He rushes Kara and spins around slicing at his legs; Kara jumps this and slices downwards, Lucius moves to Kara's back and strikes. The slick splits open the back of Kara's jacket revealing a bright red tattoo. The sword strikes his helmet and breaks off.

"It seams that you have lost." Kara turns as the hole was fixing it self with those strange black particles. He waves his hand over Lucius. Suddenly Lucius is thrust into the air and then flies accost the room into one of the pillars. He slams into it and falls to the floor. "Lucius!" zera runs for him but Kara stops her, she hovers into air unable to move her arms or legs. "This kingdom will never truly be yours to control." She says as he approaches.

"Darkness will fill this land like the plague, enveloping it in eternal twilight. This is the fate you have chosen zera." Kara turns and waves his hand over to open door. The light begins to fade into twilight, the sun blacked out in a mass of clouds. Zera watches as her guards are turned into spirits, "no. Lucius, run!" she shout as it reaches him.

He jolts in pain and Kara and Zera watch as he is transformed into a black wolf, long spike reaching back, shining their silvery blond. He jerks and lays down, unconscious. Kara walk over to him, "so, it would seem that you are one of the goddesses' children too." He motions to one of the creatures, "take him and lock him away." The creature nodes and hauls Lucius away by a back leg.

"I will lock you in the tower of this castle; you are going to watch as your lands are destroyed." Kara says walking over to zera. "As long as the hero lives, this land will belong to light." She says staring at him with contempt. He motions to two creatures, "take her." They node and haul zera down the hall. A small creature is seen behind one of the pillars, she stairs off after Lucius, she smiles wickedly.

Family and Friends

"You know. This time of day is the most wonderful." says the man by the river. His face hardened from years in the sun. He sits by the bank of a stream, his clothes waving in the wind. "The hour of twilight is the time of the gods." he says to the young man. The man walks up and sits next to the man, his body young and strong. His hair hangs in long spikes, shinning bright yellow. His silver eyes focus on the man."Lucius, do you know what the legend of twilight is?" the kid shakes his head. "They say that there is another world connected to this world, a world covered in the light of twilight."

"The hour of twilight here is the only time our two worlds connect." he says looking up into the trees and sky, the hour of twilight is here and the sky is a beautiful shade of purple. The kid looks up into the sky, he smiles. The man stands, "I think we should head back to the village now. The mayor said he wanted to se us." he brushes him self off and hold out his hand. Lucius grabs it and Daxis helps him up. Lucius nodes and the two start back through the forest.

They cross the bridge and Daxis locks the gate. They pass the spring and Lucius sees the mayor daughter, Lilly. She is washing his horse, rain. They walk down the path and into the outer ring of the village. Lucius' house is off to the left, it is a huge hollowed out tree with a ladder leading to the front door. Daxis smiles, "still can't see why you live out here." they walk through an over pass and into the main part of the village.

The village consists of six houses and a ranch that over looks the village on the hill. The first house is the general store. As they enter and pass the villagers wave at them. They wave back and walk on. Then a group of children run up to Lucius. Four in total, two girls and two boys. One of the boys is wearing a headband and smiling big, the other is wearing a green sown shirt and shorts. "Hey there kids." Daxis says ruffling the hair of the on in green. "Lucius did you hear?!?" says the on with the bandana.

Lucius shakes his head; "they got a slingshot at the store!" he jumps up and down, Lucius smiles at him. "How do you think we can get our hands on it?" he says, he turns to one of the girls, she is a little older and has her hair done up in a neat pony tail. "Can't you just let us borrow it!?" she shakes her head, "you know I can't! I would get in trouble with my parents!" Daxis lays a hand on Lucius' shoulder, "I'll meet you at the mayor's house." Lucius smiles and daxis walks off.

The other boy looks up at Lucius, he smiles and Lucius smiles back. "Hey Lucius, think we can all play later?" says the little boy in green. "Play what Darius?" says the kid in the headband. "Anything I guess Angelo." the older girl looks at Lucius and says, "Who wants to play with you boys anyways? We girls call dibs on Lucius." the younger girl says," yeah. We call him." Angelo look at the older girl, "no we get Lucius Katie!"

Darius looks at them, "can't we all just play together?" he says looking at them. They turn on him and says, "No!" he jumps and Lucius smiles. He pats Darius' head and walks towards the mayor's house leaving the group arguing. He walks up to the house by the entrance of the hill. Walking up to the door he knocks. "Come in!" says a voice. Lucius opens the door to see Daxis standing with the mayor, a big man with a bald head and small eyes. His mustache hangs down past his chin."Ah Lucius, we where just talking about you." he says.

Lucius walks over and nodes. "I was just talking with Daxis about the delivery to the castle." says the mayor smiling at Lucius. "Yes and we have come to a joint decision." Daxis says looking at Lucius, he nodes at Daxis. "We have decided that we want you to take the gift to the princess." the mayor says with a smile. Daxis nodes, "yes, I think it is time you meet the princess, she is a gentle person." the mayor puts a finger in the air, "and she is an elf, like you Lucius." Lucius feels his pointed ears.

"we need you to take it tomorrow, the princess sent word that tomorrow is when she has no prior business to attend to." says the mayor as he crosses his arms. Daxis lays a hand on Lucius' shoulder, "this will be your first time out side the forest." Lucius nodes, the mayor smiles, "don't worry it will be fine." Lucius nodes, him and Daxis head to the door. "Take care of your self guys." says the mayor as they open the door, he waves as they leave. "Thanks mayor."

The two walk out side and to the road. "Want to spare before you leave?" Daxis asks looking at the children playing. Lucius nodes and Daxis looks over at his house. His wife is sitting on the porch, their dog sitting next to her. "Go to your house and get your wooden sword. We can spare in the ranch." Daxis walks down the road to his house, Lucius watches as his wife stands and kisses his cheek. Lucius runs down the path to the overpass.

He climbs the ladder and opens the door. The children walk up and wait. Lucius opens his door and jumps down with his sword on his back. "Are you going to spar with Daxis?" Angelo asks looking excited. Lucius nodes, they cheer, "can we watch Lucius?" asks Katie looking at Lucius. Lucius nodes. They walk back through the village to the ranch. As the crest the rise they see Daxis talking with the rancher. "Hey Lucius!" he waves at him and the children.

They walk up;" I see we gained some observers." Daxis says looking at the kids. The rancher shakes hands with Lucius, "thanks for the other day. The cow just won't listen to me anymore." he heads over to the gate and out it to his house. Daxis nodes at Lucius, he draws his sword and so does Lucius. The kids run back and sit down. "Alright, show me what you can do." Daxis says, getting in his fighting position. Lucius jumps up into the air, bringing his sword down, Daxis shields it with his armored forearm.

Lucius lands and spins around, Daxis jumps back. He swings and stops it at Lucius' side. "Remember that the sword is not the only weapon you hold." Lucius nodes he rolls around Daxis and fakes a strike. Daxis spins around to meet Lucius' sword point at his throat. "Good." Lucius stands, he attacks with a stab. Daxis deflects it and Lucius back spins and stops it at Daxis' side. "You've been practicing." Lucius nodes.

"Your sword skill is good, now we need to test your hand-to-hand." the two stake their swords in the ground, they stand looking at the other. "Come attack me as if I where trying to harm someone you care for." Lucius nodes. "Go Lucius!" shouts Katie, she is staring at Lucius dreamily. Daxis takes off his armor and his shirt. Lucius does the same, taking off his shirt and draping it over his sword. He launches out at Daxis.

He tries a sweeping kick, Daxis jumps into the air. Lucius strikes with an upper-cut. Daxis catches it and tosses Lucius back. Lucius runs at him and does a jumping round house, Daxis catches it, and Lucius slams his fist into Daxis' side as he is flipped upside down. Daxis drops Lucius and Lucius spins around to his back and gets Daxis in a headlock. "Good, but." Daxis says, he grabs Lucius' arm and pulls him over his head, slamming him down on the grass.

"That was good. Your strength has gotten better."Daxis says looking down at Lucius, holding his side. The kids run over and stair at them, "that was awesome!" Angelo says, Katie kneels down next to Lucius, "are you ok?" she asks, he smiles at her. "Are you ok dad?" Darius asks, Daxis ruffles his hair, "yeah, I'm fine." he helps Lucius up and they grab they shirts and armor. "I think you will do fine tomorrow. Be sure to get a good sleep." Lucius nodes and they all head back down the hill.

Daxis and Darius head back to their house. "Night Lucius." Katie says, her and her sister head back to their house. Lucius walks through the over pass; he comes to his house to see Lilly with rain. She is brushing rain's main. She turns as Lucius sets his things down by the ladder. Lilly looks at him as he walks up. "Hey Lucius, I washed rain for you." he smiles at her and nodes. "Rain's a girl too so you need to treat her like one." he looks at rain, she looks back at him. Lilly looks at Lucius, she smiles. "You were training with Daxis again weren't you?"

He nodes and she puts a hand on his shoulder. "I heard that you will be taking the gift to the princess tomorrow." he nodes again and looks into her eyes. "Can I stay with you tonight? I don't want to be alone, something is wrong with the land and I'm scared." Lucius nodes and walks over to rain, he pats her back and she calms down. Lilly walks over to the ladder and climbs up.

Lucius grabs his stuff and climbs up. Lilly opens the door and they go in, Lucius sets his stuff down and light's the fire in the fireplace. It lights the room and Lilly sits down on the couch, "this is the first time I've been in your house." she says looking around. Lucius nodes and walks down a flight a stairs. After a few minutes Lucius comes back up the stairs rubbing his hair with a rough towel, he looks at Lilly who is looking at something on a shelf.

He walks over to her and she says, "do you remember this?" she is holding a sketch done by Daxis. It show when Lilly first played with Lucius, she was feeling his ears and he was smiling. Lucius nodes, "the whole time I couldn't stop looking at your ears, I thought they where the coolest things ever." she sets it back down, Lucius puts his hands on her shoulders. "Do you feel it Lucius?" she closes her eyes and puts her hands on his. "The forest, the animals, they can sense that something weird is happening."

Lucius nodes, he looks out the window and sees the darkness covering the village. Lilly walks over to the couch and sits down, Lucius sits next to her. "I want to ask you something Lucius." he smiles at her and listens carefully, "I want you to promise me, that you'll come back safe from your journey." she takes his hands in hers. He looks at her with interest, then he nodes. Lilly hugs Lucius, he wraps his arms around her, and she opens her eyes and says, "I will wait for you."

She looks around, "where do you sleep?" he points up to a hole in the ceiling, a ladder leads up to it. Lucius grabs her hand and guides her over to it, he nodes as she puts a hand on it. "ok." she says and starts to climb up. Pushing back the cover she gets up, she gasps as she sees that his room is a small jungle, a hammock is hanging between two thick branches. Lucius gets up and smiles. "It's amazing. So beautiful." Lucius moves a branch and reveals a second hammock. "Can sleep there tonight?"

Lucius nodes and she hugs him. "thanks." she gently gets into it and it swings back and forth. Lucius smiles, Lilly leans up and kisses Lucius on the cheek. Lucius smiles and walks over to his and climbs in, he looks up to the ceiling, the trees leaves a gentle green he closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep. The night blows over the village, bathing it in its dark calm.

Lucius sleeps and dreams of the past, then something moves his bed, it swings back and forth a little, and Lucius opens his eyes. He looks to see what it was to see Lilly lying there with her eyes closed, she cuddles up to Lucius, he wraps one arm around her and smiles. Lucius closes his eyes and sleeps with Lilly at his side. Her body agents his, the two warm and peace restored.

We are oft to blame in this, tis too much proved. But with damnation and eternal fire at our back do we learn of life's trials and tribulations. But when the judgment is passed and the soul cast away from those that believe themselves saints, do we turn to the one who guides us. The hooded figure who leads the fight against the heavens, with vengeance and hatred do we fight alongside of him. We fight those who have cast our loving souls from fortune, taking control of that which we sought. Then when our eternal control is complete, there is but one left standing in our way. Shadow Nazi 3:15

God stands in the way of eternal rule over the heavens, his face stern and his will that of iron. We stand before him, unafraid in the face of the almighty one. And then from our back, does the sea of the damned part. As the sea of the forsaken parts, the hooded figure steps forward from the back of the sea. He advances slowly through his army of evil minds and souls, the army bows as he walks by for he saved us from the eternal fires. The figure looks at god with weary eyes, and then he stops in front of the steps leading to god almighty. Shadow Nazi 3:16

He walks up the step, advancing on the lord of all things. He stops in presence of god, mere feet from him. God lashes out at the hooded figure, but is struck to the ground by its own fury. The figure stands over god, as the lord contemplates his eventual death. He stands and looks over the figure once more, then he strikes for the heart, only to have his own pulled from his chest. God falls limp and the sea of the damned cheers in glee, their savior had done the impossible. Shadow Nazi 3:17

Tossing the still heart of god aside, the figure turns to the masses. He raises his hands into the air and the damned bow their heads to the grounds, all kneeling down on the ground. They wait for the command of their new god; they look up to see the figure again. But then the figure reaches up slowly and pulls back the hood, revealing the face beneath it. The sea of the damned gasps as they look upon the face of their savior, for it was eve. Her face gentle and caring, fire red horns grow from her forehead. She walks up the step and into the halls of heaven, inviting her army in to take what they please. As the army surges inside, raping and pillaging everyone inside, eve walks through the halls seeking out her own prize. Shadow Nazi 3:18

As the armies pillage, eve walks the halls, still dripping the fresh blood of god. She walks into a throne room with only a single object in the room, a massive pillar with something chained to it. She advances on it and sees her prize, Adam hangs suspended from the pillar. She moves and cuts him from his imprisonment; he falls to the floor landing on hands and knees. Eve walks over to Adam and stands over him, he slowly stands and looking into the face of his savior. He then holds eve tight, his own fury washing over with his recognition. The armies walk into the hall and circle around them, bloody and overfilling with hatred. The two look out over the masses, and the crowd bows to them, the new gods of all things. Shadow Nazi 3:19

people annoy me. on a major scale, i hate dealing with people i don't know and even if i do know them, i'd rather not deal with it sometimes. (i'm tired and cranky.) or like the fact that i finally created a thread in the forums that didn't get deleted, and Me, JesterCrow169, Bizenghast23, paleghostboo, and littlegirl9 are the only people to post. a couple of others posted but only because Trouble (Bizenghast23) pointed out that there was one with these weird pen drawings and it was full of them and we where stuck in mine. it make's me sick, i posted my art because i though that there might be some people who would like it, some of my art you should be happy i'm even posting it. some of the character concepts are legal works and you'd nornally have to pay to see them, or pay me and i'd draw one up for you. i hate people, i've even had jobs dealing with people, i've got fired from each. only if i feel like it will i be socialble with people.

i can't stand people of lower inteligence, i'll freely talk with someone if they can follow what i'm saying. that was my problem with my last girlfriend, Shadow Girl. she would constantly dought my inteligence, me and some people on newgrounds and with both paleghostboo and JesterCrow169 have had conversations that would confuse people with degrees and professers. i outsmarted my high school Chemistry teacher and my Geometry teacher at their own subjects! my brain hurts after i deal with idiots, with is why i allways have a headack because of the morons here on newgrounds. it's my personal observation that the average inteligence level of newgrounds users that arn't moderators or administrators is about 5th grade or lower. it makes me sad to know this, i thought that inteligent people where everywhere but it would seam that we are a dying breed.

And with that i leave you with a sketch of me from a year ago.

Jack Krauser, The Shadow Artist.

i've finally get the final sketches for my evil childrens comic, i just don't have a title. but only two of them ended up children, an 8 year old and a 12 year old. the leader is a 16 year old and his first accomplice is a 15 year old blind girl. here, i'll just post some stats.

Clover Leedale: 16 years old, hand-to-hand, Right side of his face is burned beyond recovery, leader and father figure to Rin and Dwight, Crimson's lover.
Crimson Heart: 15 years old, knives, wears a blind-fold to cover her silver eyes, hunter and love interist to clover, mother figure to Rin and Dwight.
Rin Kusanagi: 8 years old, weapons user, hated for her cat's eyes and left for dead from her wealthy family, daughter to Crimson and Clover, little sister to Dwight.
Dwight Henderson: 12 years old, swords, the most normal looking of the bunch, he can draw people in when they're under suspition. big brother to Rin and Son to Crimson and Clover.

they are not family in anyway, only by their experiences. Clover gathered Crimson after she killed her parents, shortly after that they found Rin in an allyway crying. they taught her holw to survive and she tagged along with them, after that they found Dwight in control of a large gang in the underground. he'd killed the former boss and after some convincing from Rin and Clover, he saw that his control was not much enjoyment. they are a family of murderers and freaks, cast from society by those who think them different. that is the only thing that makes them a family, their pasts.

this one is going to be interisting, i'm thinkin of doing this one in a four panel style, like megatokyo. that way it should be easyier to read on-line without making the picture huge, but here is the final sketches for the blood family!

Jack Krauser, The Shadow Artist.

i'm so tired from yesterday, i drove over 200 miles to get home last night. arriving at something close to midnight, i was the only one awake then. we had decided to take two cars, my 60's lincoln continental and my mom's van (i refused sit in that tiny little van again.) and we headed off, at 5 o'clock in the morning! and on the way there, listening to some ozzy i had an idea. i thought of doing a story strictly for newgrounds, of these four murderious children.

sounded good at 7 in the morning, and i'm already trying out some sketches for them. but i hope everyone out there on newgrounds had a great fourth of july and got some deserved sleep.

for now look at some more of my weird art, this is the first sketch for the cover to my comics "Smooth Criminals" it's a furries comic, about thieving, murder, sex, internal conflicts, external conflicts, troubled pasts and deception. all the good stuff!

i think this will be my last post for a while, i'm going on vacation with me family for the fourth. but i just got up, at 11:00. and i'm so fucking tired i could fall asleep on my computer right now, i didn't go to sleep untill like 3 AM. i'm hooked into some game called "The Suffering, Ties That Bind," it's kind of old now but still one of the great games i played. i see it as something like Manhunt crossed Silent Hill, but it's a great game for those of us who like gory games, lots of gun play, hand to hand, and freaky ass creatures to kill.

But before i go, i'll leave you all with something from my freakier side. a very special Bondage piece from my Main line on-line comic, Ace Of Spades. the wolf is "Michelangelo Bishop," the lead singer for Velvet Sunrise. the fox he's holding is Light Cross, lead guitarist. the dragon girl in the backround is "Cortanna Vanderbuilt" the drumer. and the fox on the left is light's nympo sister Alexis Saint, Aspiring Dancer

alright, after putting the final touches on my scanner's settings, i think i'm ready to place my next picture on Newgrounds. i have to warn people now, my artwork is both furries and humans, or a mix of the two. i'm personally a Furry, A Horse in fact. but i fancy myself as The Shadow Artist, so the form isn't allways solid. but this next picture is one of Myself and Harley Irons, Riddick's fieance. this was kind of commishioned, PaleGhostBoo bet me that i couldn't draw only semi-pornographic pictures all day. well i have a folder of them now and they're gonna be the chapter deviders for on of the comics on my site, "Crossing The Line." but here's some ramdom stats on the picture.

Harley Irons: 21 years old, 6'3, 113 lbs. Riddick's fieance and owner of Ironworks Gym, she's intelagent, and strong, her motto is "work hard, play hard, relax hard."

Here it is ya'll!

alright, no one insaults my artwork and gets away with it. for those of you who don't know, my last post had a piece of art that was done by me when i was bored one day. and after voting on some new submissions in the portal, i can back to find a comment on my post. it was from a prick named "wuzzles," what ever the fuck that is, probibly a gay dinosaur. but he totally insaulted me and my style of artwork, and that really pisses me off! i've entered on-line contests and at my school, my artwork has won prizes for fuck sack! no man has the right to call another's artwork crap, artwork is for the viewer. what is great to some is terrible to others, artwork is done for the pleasue of the artist. to an artist, the people who view their artwork are like gods. we thrive on the audiance like a play, but no school can teach you art. if you had to go to school to learn how to draw, you need to get your head bashed in with a graphic tablet. and i hope that that homo prick is reading this right now, because if i hear from him again, i'll unleach my full rage on him! i learned how to draw the good old fashioned way, i kept on drawing untill my art was something unseen by the eyes of others. the only help i had was from a sketch book to help me get human anatomy proposhions down, and no man is perfect. but to me, my art is my life. i live only to draw my comics, my storys can hold peoples attention with such force. i've had people tell me that they have missed a hole class because they where hooked into my stories. i have the perfect database of games, tv shows, movies, artwork and manga to know what keeps people reading or watching.

And With that, i post a picture that i've never done before. it is a picture of a human (future comic me infact) and a Young Fox Girl, and she is pregnant with his child. i don't try that often, and this one is no different, a small amount of effort went into it. if you don't like it, tell me. but if you dis all of my art, you will see me angry.

alright, i've figured out how my scanner works and i'm gonna start making full use of it! i've decided to start posting my own personal art, stuff that will only appear here and on Shadow Comics. the first few will be some pieces i did for Project Night Life, the first being one of Myself and Officer Rico.
