Angels Fall First
Angels Fall First by @Lucky_Ladybug66 (Daisy Hunt)

The idea for this picture comes from a song by Nightwish called Angels Fall First. I can't think of anything more disturbing to find in a cemetery than the body of someone known and cared about, and if there's blood around and foul play can be suspected, it's even worse.

I know I often draw similar pictures, but the reason is because I keep thinking of new ways to illustrate things or new ways to draw the characters. The fact is, I'm obsessed with non-romantic hurt/comfort materials. XD; And hardly anyone else draws or writes it, so I do both in abundance to satisfy myself.

I really love the way Valon's expression came out. He looks devastated. o.o

The angel statue came out better than I'd expected. (It's missing half an arm, too!) And I'm proud of the copper-colored gravestone. I based the design on a gravestone in the city cemetery uptown that always creeped the heck out of me as a kid.

finally gets around to commenting

And so continues the long line of Amelda-abuse XD There's nothing wrong with abuse, really...it's wonderful stress-relief. Whee, lookit all the blood! It drips nicely this time...you're getting better at drawing spatters and drips, methinks ^^ And the colors are a lot more solid than usual...looks nice and vibrant.

The only thing that looks off to me is Amelda's crooked arm...it might be a tad long...but it's not that noticeable, and it's angled for a nice 'sprawled' effect.

And yes, Varon's expression is delightfully emotional (well, not for him, but that's beside the point XD), but I think my favorite part of the picture is the angel statue. I really like the style it's drawn in, and it's crumbling very realistically. Nice cracks, too...

I think this is probably my favorite of your pictures so far. ^^

Ah yes, I am quite proud of the blood splatterings and drippings here. XD; Though it looks more pink than I would like. . . .

nods thoughtfully. Yes, the arm is something I wondered about too. I have a problem getting arms to go how I want them to. XD;

The angel statue was the first part of the picture I started drawing. ^^ Then I added Alister and Valon, the base of the statue, the cracks, and opted for grass and a background. XD; When I do backgrounds, I'm more likely to have outdoors kinda stuff, because grass is easier to draw than walls and flooring. ^__~
