A portrait of an original character for Project Arcana.

Meet Ivan, streetname I.D.E.S, killer of many. This sociopath is known for his brutal place-maimings of his victims, dragging them all over miles of city, leaving a piece of them here and there, until they're dead and theres nothing left but his ultimate satisfaction.

Main target: Jewel Box whores, effeminite males, and prostitutes who lay claim to lands outside of the Velvet Clam and Jewel Box.

But he's hot.

But he's crazy.

...But he's hot.

Probably a prouder piece, draw in forty five minutes, colored in two hours.

Very interesting character you have there. I'm actually not familiar with Project Arcana, so I'm curious if people like this are common with it. :XD:

As for the art itself, I like how it has a 'sketchy' feel to it, and the color isn't filling all the time. It gives hime a lighter feel, despite his background.
That's kind of creepy, I'll admit, but it's good. ^_^
Yeah, he's not meant to be adorable. Even though he is. <3

Thanks for the fave too by the way! I worked hard on it.

Actually, you'll be surprised to find out that Project Arcana is an original series of writing and hopefully manga in the future, created by myself and two other fantastic ladies. This is the first event character that our main characters get comissioned to hunt down by the lovely butch-lesbian owner of a bar in the red-light district. We've put an insane amount of thought into the series so far, and we've got such a long way to go, but yeah! Original series! I'm glad you find my rendering interesting. I drew him in the dead of the night, like many of my other "better" works.

I went for a more natural look in this one, I wanted it to have a more traditional medium feel, because I miss working with traditional mediums and I swear everytime I use digital coloration techniques, I die a little but more inside. D=; Not to say that digital mediums are BAD, they're actually neat-O, but...I pride myself on my traditional methods. And I no longer have time for them! D= I gotta finish these babies in a day or less!
So...yeah! XD;; I apologize for the tangent I just went on! X3;;

Traditional methods are something I lack greatly at. Give me a pencil, tell me to draw, you get a scribble. I can't really draw on the computer either, but I CAN at least color on the computer. XD I'm not good with traditional methods in the fact I'm too attached to the 'undo' button. :P

Good luck with the original work you have going. ^^ Sounds interesting, though I'm sure I heard the name somewhere else. Maybe it was a glimpse through your gallery or something, and the name stuck. O.o;
Heh, you know I have to limit my usage of the digital methods because of that blessed undo button? It's just so..."convienient". No deleter fluids, no mess, no purg.

Okay, that last one was a made up word, I admit:mixing rum and vodka and cognac isn't the best idea. Despite it being a friday night. Forgive me for the eh..."drinkipoo".

Well thanks for the good luck charm! Really though, scientifically its all a matter of tact and probability whether it becomes a hit or not ((most likely not but you know most "good" series end up being underground, **hush hush**)) and you've probably heard the name elsewhere. Theres apparently a band called "project arcana" and the whole term comes from tarot in general, see the codenames of our lovely agents comes from a major card of the tarot, a.k.a Death, The Magician, Justice, The Lovers....etc....

So yar. A lot of thought has gone into it so far despite it being in beta stages, ((four months and counting, we're SERIOUS about our story)) and well...it started off just for our own pleasure but so much has happened that well...we think it has a potential to be a hit. Keyword:"Think".

Hey, it's possible as long as you all continue to work on it! Just don't give up when the pressure is on.... Unless serious, cannot ignore issues arise, then er... So much for the pep speech. Sheesh. ><

I don't remember where I had actually heard the name before, but with me it could have been anywhere... lol
LMAO I get what ya mean. <3

Hmm....well! XD Ya heard it somewhere! I guess if you were REALLY hard up to figure out where you may have heard the title before, you could google it. XP
