Description

._. for the love of god, pocky, and all else holy, I have no idea what the hell is up with that title. All the periods and x'es, that is. It just looked good....
(kudos to ~Phoenixfirewolf for suggesting it)

So, nyes. This is mah man Rue. He's a character from an unfinished novel of mine, Eye of the Prophet. He's not technically the main character, but yeah he basically is. As in he's the one I love at the most. (sorry, Kyri, but he was around first)

He's what's known as a gholim, a sort of artificial person, formed from dust and clay and brought to life via magic. (in his case, demonic magic) Most gholima are more or less mindless puppets used in a manner similar to nameless ensigns in Star Trek (read; cannon fodder), but he's the more difficult to create kind that actually is quite intelligent, used as an assassin and general errand boy by his "father".

He's actually the primary antagonist of the first book, being sent to forcibly "retrieve" one of the main character for the demon but slowly begins to change, climaxing in turning on a troop of the demon's lackeys and practicing his Quentin Tarantino on them. The aftermath of which you can see here.

This wound up a LOT more bloody then it started out o__O
Does it make me morbid to say that doing all the blood was fun? Or at least interesting? Sigh.... most of it's freehanded, of which I am very proud, though all the splatter is a brush I forget the origins of. I'm proud of the shading on all of the picture, though.
Yeah....none of the blood's his, by the by. He doesn't have any blood. ._.

The mountains in the background are freehanded too and actually turned out kind of decent o_o. Shocking. Seemed like it needed some sort of background....
Lazy ass rain effects for the win :heart:

Digitally inked for a change. Very sloppily, but I think it does the original sketch justice. Yaaaaays~

Yeah....I'm really tired. In case you couldn't tell.
