abyssdressing | 007 - Valentines~

[Trotting along through the village is a very familiar looking doll. It's Tokunaga, complete with passenger. However...something seems definitely off about both. For one thing, the giant stuffy is wear a black hood over his head, shadowing his button eyes and making his Cheshire cat grin all the more spooky. He's also sporting an odd heart pattern painted in red on his tummy. Secondly, he's dragging a large, heavy axe along behind him. And third...he's singing, even though his face retains it's usual forever grinning look that could make grown men wet themselves.]

Painting the roses red~
We're painting the roses red!
We dare not stop,
Or waste a drop,
So let the paint be spread~
We're painting the roses red~
We're painting the roses red!

[As he goes on, his passenger remains...oddly silent, and strangely hidden. Anise is riding him backwards, holding to one of his ears with one hand while the other is holding a bright red parasol with black trim. The symbol on the parasol looks strange...like a heart growing out of a rose, with a crown on top. It was bold and black, standing out against the bright red. The girl was also wearing a ruffly red gown, that looked like something royalty might wear. The ruffles were white, and the gown had black as well as white and gold trim. There were many hearts incorporated in said trim.

Her face hidden in the shadow of her parasol, Anise rides along on her walking, talking dolly, who's singing merrily, that grin large and almost more frightening than usual. Both passenger and taxi give off a strange dark aura.

Something is definitely amiss. ...Perhaps they've gone mad?

Ah, but...we're all mad here~ ♥]

[OOC: Make way for the Queen of Hearts! ...No, seriously, you better get the hell out of Anise's way if executioner!Tokunaga tells you to. You piss Anise off, and it's "off with your head". Friends, foes, acquaintances...anyone is subject to the Queen's wrath. This is also a kindasorta placeholder until tomorrow-ish. It's close to 4am, and I haven't done my homework for Monday yet, derp. orz]

I... know the first thing I drew of Luke took me a lot longer than it takes me to scribble him now (ie, that icon up there of him with the fork in his mouth is something I drew in pen on receipt paper at work), but tbh I can't remember how long it took me and how many references I had. Generally speaking I'm sitting in front of the computer when I draw or I would carry around the info booklet in the game box if I needed costume reference. Clothes is generally what I have the most trouble with. :\

fffff. A lot of things involving my Luke are pretty hilarious. He can make painting a room turn into petty arguments and shower sex, for god's sake. :|;;; And he won't be-- at least not from Anise. I've got other things that I need to start rolling with him, and if anything that'll be what has him in less than stellar condition. And pfffft, I've known Sol for a little over a year now, she doesn't bite. If anything, she's probably just as or more shy than you are, lolol. But she's totally awesome and Engel is ...probably my favorite Asch these days. I've got a friend that writes Asch exquisitely in-character for game canon but still manages to make him tolerate Luke (...that is,

highmaintanance's Original) and he's... probably my favorite, hands down, but Engel is definitely a close second. gndjfkgfh.

I...think the first picture of that I drew of Asch that I really needed his reference shots was that one of Engel and Anise I drew, HAHA. I really do want to do a trio pic of the redheads and Anise together, since I've had the idea in my head for a while, just never got to it. [That fork icon is so precious, btw. ♥] I'm also not sure if my copy of Abyss has the booklet. I had to order it offline, but it'd perhaps one of my prized possessions and something I'd run back into a burning house screaming to retrieve. /cough. AND YES CLOTHES. CLOTHES AND HAIR. Curse those crazy anime characters and their gravity-defying hair. 8|

I...totally didn't stalk that thread like a creeper, you're lying! >______>;; And yes, I recall. D: Much hugging will abound, methinks. Sol is awesome, seriously. I may give her a poke sometime, but I'd feel weird, pff. |D; I'm usually pretty social, but I'm paranoid, too. We'll see. And yeah, Engel is wonderful. Me and Anise love him to pieces and would gag and bag him to take home forever in no time if we could. Without the threat of bodily harm afterwards, of course. He's easily tied with another Asch I know for favorite Asch ever. Engel was my favorite before I met the other, so I think he maaaay be closer to first, too~

But now I have to go home to an internetless house, woe. ;^; See you eventually, you. ♥

rofl. I hate Asch's tabard, god. I usually draw him without it if at all, though I also tend to draw him/Luke/pretty much everyone in civvies instead of their wonky costumes because my strongest Abyss... muse set and interested and whatever is the modernized OU/AU mashup. [Thank you bb♥ X3;;] The copy I have was... also bought online, I think. We first got the game as a Christmas present from

callie_chan because she writes Jade and wanted myself and

synthesize to know her canon, but then we loaned that copy to my sister and her roommate,

synthesize bought a second copy for herself and before my sister and her roommate lost the first copy I moved out and was given the copy of the game for myself. ...That was a long drawn-out explanation that was completely not necessary, fffff. And I have less trouble with hair than I do clothes. Hair, hands and facial expressions have always been my strong points. :o

... /snort. Just once, I'd like

highmaintanance to go a thread without having some manner of mental breakdown. =___=;; Sol's hard to get ahold of lately unless you're me and know to relentlessly poke until she responds. :| ...Luke would be very unhappy with you if you took away his pigeon. :< And ffff yes.

'Kay! ♥ Take care bb.
