This is for emiva Her friend has passed away and i made this pic to cheer her up.

well, actually I failed at missing Phantom's birthday XD

3 years ago (as of July 17th) , I created my first character. It took an entire weekend because I was painting up a model horse to look like him. At that point I had no idea how much he would influence me.

So this is a tribute to the demon I created who has meant so much to me, even if it's hard to understand.

Referenced the pose from one of my horse books.


Here's a link to the artist that inspired this picture: http://www.youtube.com/user/cgsbgs

"Roses"

I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real, held
no appeal
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings,
I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal
And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn
And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need, behold
the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you hide away the
seed
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
Without you I'm nothing at all
And life has the face of a morbid game
With you nothing is impossible
It all seems to fit the frame
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again




This is just something I did to pass the time, it's not directly related to anything I'm feeling right now.

But, around the community I noticed some downers. People getting sick, computer troubles, life, just generally sad. And there was that tragedy with Run a few months back that I didn't even know about.

This picture was meant for everyone that feels sorrow weighing down their hearts, so that they know someone is willing to give them a garden of roses.

I original tried drawing a sketch of this concept, but the longer I worked on it, the more I grew to hate it. I'm not much of an artist and with such limited art supplies...I just gave up on it.

So, I decided to try making it on my PC. However, I don't have any art programs and I'm not talented enough to do much with artPAD. The only thing I had left was MS Paint. So guess what I did!?

Yeah, there's the MS paint version of Kumiko and her demons. Each one represents something that is bothering her:

Red- Love and passion
Blue- Sadness
Black- Uncertainty
