Death & Desire: Inchoate


it's been quite a while since i sat down with a pen and doodled something. and because it rained tonight and i was out with bug stuck at starbucks 6750, i was able to draw a couple of Endless fanarts -- Desire and Death. they may not look much, but still. i actually almost fell in love with Death. lol.

i have to admit... i'm a bit proud of them. considering i've been focusing on writing lately, i thought i won't be able to pull it off. but my hands just kept on creating the lines one by one, stroke by stroke. like it MISSED drawing something. the feeling was surreal. i wish i could polish it off some more tho. oh well. will try to work on that.

"Desire is of medium height. It is unlikely that any portrait will ever do Desire justice, since to see her (or him) is to love him (or her), -- passionately, painfully, to the exclusion of all else. Desire smells almost subliminally of summer peaches, and casts two shadows: one black and sharp-edged, the other translucent and forever wavering, like heat haze. Desire smiles in brief flashes, like sunlight glinting from a knife-edge. And there is much else that is knife-like about Desire. Never a possession, always the possessor, with skin as pale as smoke, and eyes tawny and sharp as yellow wine: Desire is everything you have ever wanted. Whoever you are. Whatever you are. Everything."
