THEY ARE SO GAY and sweet

Mmmmm, evil gayness is my sweet, sweet drug. 8D

that's Rip!? What happent to the white hair? :O Anyway, very good smooth coloring texture ^^

He thinks it would attract too much attention in his home country, so he keeps it black while he's pretending to be a human.

And thanks, Painter is great for smoothiness. :>

Awesome pic

Aw, thanks! I'm always very flattered when I receive a compliment on my more human stuff. I'm so glad you like! :)

Rip's human mask is sexy <3

I'm sure he would appreciate your approval. I know I do! :D

knowing Rip? I'm sure he would XD

Ya know your style sometimes reminds me of Wendy Pini's work.

Elfquest rocks even when they shortened cutter's hair hah

yes it does.. I'm glad I got all the books for it.

Mine were stolen, i had the original graphic novels....elfquest is one of the reasons i starting doing porn =D

Omg, I would've died if someone had stolen my little Elfquest collection.

Naturally; I loved Elfquest when I was a kid. -_-

I don't like Pini's newest style at all, but I was one of those kids who learned to draw by reading her comics. I think I've by now created a style of my own that I'm very comfortable with, but some stuff doesn't change. I like crazy angular jaw lines and merry round shapes.

I like your style alot better side you have fun with your work :)

u 2?

ummm did he skin a human n wearing him like a human suit/??!

That would've been a bit too messy and crude. He just uses his various Cinderella magics instead. :)

he looks sad tho

He's just pouting, I suppose. ´3`

If you can imagine what malek said when he's smiling like this, you know why Rip's pouting.

Aww, I really like Ripkin's human facade.

Thank you, I kinda like it myself. Even though his head is terribly angular.

That's kinda what I liked, the really harsh angles in his face are still kinda feline and tell tale of his "not quite human"-ness.

Heh that's cute

Rip is like.."What kind of mess did she get us to again?"

you know you like the furry smutz.

That's why I've got an account here on FA. :)

You're always free to put up any of my commissions if you want to ^_^ On that subject I just might send you another request in the near future for a new project idea :D

Hey, that would be nice! ^_^

I love how you did their hair and eyes, very well done :)

Thank you! I think Rip's eyes came out nice and misty, but I could've done better work with Malek. :)

As usualy I love it. They looks so plotting and such. Humans to what I still can't draw.

I can't draw humans at all, but I'm not letting that stop me. I draw them anyway and screw that anatomy. 8D

I can draw em, until my human ref tutorials are around me.

I like the slight curve of Malek's mouth, signalling confidence, perhaps even arrogance.

Most likely both, knowing that guy. Even if they gave me a thousand years I could never successfully capture the magnitude of his egoism on canvas. :/

Big ego is big. But that's why we love him right? Especially when he is proven wrong... X3

damn I like this a lot! I love their faces so much! And I see you liked Elfquest! I used to read it, I'd love to get my hands on it again.

Yes, Elfquest was my drug back when I was, uhhh... 14? 15? The memory of those innocent days still lingers. :)

I believe the original colored albums are long lost and unavailable these days, but you can still get the b/w mini albums in most fantasy game/book stores. And as far as I know, there are also some free comic samples and short stories on the official website.

Beautiful one :) :) :)

Thank you very much! :D

Holy....that's Ripkin???? he looks so breakable there

He's not heavily built. You could easily tie him into a knot. :)

Haha....hey, wonna come on for a short time?

Wow, rip looks really cute as a human. LOL. I know as his cat form gives me an urge to scratch his belly and spoil him rotten.. but hell.. that human mask.. I'd hit that lol

He'd take you out on a dinner any day. He would pay for the food, the alcohol, your preferred drugs and the condoms - or, failing that, the abortion(s) unless the street price of newborn infants was on the rise. Now that's what I call true chivalry!

I think he would even call you the next day and ask if you could take your sister/mother/underage brother with you the next time you're available. Truly, such subtlety and gentlemanlike manners are a rarity during these dark times.

lol. Aw, but then he'd likely have fun even trying to get into my pants. I've been called a nun.

But yes, really.. Such polite assholery is so hard to come by these days. What is it with men when a cat is more of a man than they are?

Your style is brrrrilliant!
I can so easily recognice Ripkin in it, it's almost butterfly rainbow magic!

Like a rainbow in a sea of dead puppies.

lol
you're silly
*huggle*

*purr* ^_^ *hugs*

awww
*hugglepetsnuggle*

wonderful as always hun... *hugs....

V.

Thanks, Vixyy!

Again, I feel pretty bad for posting my own stuff without going through the new submissions that have piled up in my FA message centre. These days I get a 1000 submissions in a week, which is a bit stressing... Even though I really like the art I see.

*smiles and gives her a hug... I'm there with you kiddo... I hate breezing through things, but sometimes you just have to.

you deserve to do your own art silly - that's what brings you breath and life - never ever cut that off...

V.

I'm always drawing, it will be my priority as long as I'm able to do that. I've got seven commissions on my list right now and those are simply the prepaid ones I'm officially working on. It's immense fun and it gives me a nice buzz, but sometimes I wish I could pay more attention to the very talented people here in FA - such as yourself.

I literally have had no spare time at all since Christmas. If I want to watch a movie or play some board game with my friends I need to do it while sketching linearts. I've become really good at multitasking. Oh, but now I'm rambling. Sorry about that. When I start typing stuff I never know when to stop. *rolls eyes*

*laughs... multi-tasking is fine for getting things done... but imagine guzzling a good wine or swazzling a single malt Scotch just to get a high...

you need to make the time hun to enjoy your life - otherwise, one day you'll turn around and have no memory of anything but passing time.

*gives her a really really big hug....

our beloved couple
Rimplin looks sensual even as a human X3 but i simply love the "big silly guy" looking of Malek!

Rimplin? Lol, that's a cute one! If he ever gets (more) kids (perhaps with a hobgoblin?), I'm gonna name one of them Rimplin. ^^ <3<3<3

WOOPS!!!
well at least it was a cute typo X3!
now try to explain that when the kid start asking:
Rimplin.- daddy, how did you came out with my name
Malak.- someone made a typo on your momma's name and i thought it sounded cute...

no wonder why he would become a sociopath XD

My favourite genociders... ciders, lol. Do excuse me, my brain hasn't woken up yet...

CIDER MMM YES 8)

I had some yesterday. Not enough to hit on my best friend, but still.

Come to Finland already, you English person.

I wish I could. Only a month to go now and we will probably come again in August, with Sinta. I'm not sure your cats will be particularly pleased about that, though...

Bah, it's nothing my cats couldn't cope with. :p

Yes, but Sinta will want to lick them and cuddle them and chase them around the house in a playful manner!

In order to minimize the risks, we would probably have to control the situation carefully. Noki is a brave boy, but I can imagine Piki having a heart attack at the mere sight of Sinta.

I think the simplest solution would be simply for me not to bring Sinta with me...

Or lock the cats in the bedroom.

Good point. She would probably eat the cat litter, so would have to be rescued... Sucks having a corgi...

Ripkin is so delicate featured, and small, even when in a humanoid guise. lol
I love it.

Oh, he's breakable like a gingerbread man. That's why he insists on having an army of his own and he never goes out without at least seven sanctuary spells tucked in his sleeve. :)

Love how you color. <3 Rip looks really worried, or angry. X3

Maybe a little bit of both. Just having another rough day, methinks. :)

I don't think that's Rip. He's not smoking. :D

Aw, he simply doesn't have any rolls left! Maybe that's why he looks so distressed.

Always good to see Rip's human form in comparison to Malek .... yep ... he's definitely a lightweight.

Opposites attract. :)

Hmm, ripkin looks much less devious than his usual self, regardless of him being in human form or not...
What could have him, of all people, look so troubled? O..o

Perhaps he sees troubles ahead. His home country is on the verge of civil war. The nobles in northern Cillorn are teaming up against Ripkin's puppet ruler in the south. The rebellious nobles have already abandoned the old gods and made a pact with Chestelins, the most powerful religious order in the middle world. So now the order is marching south on a holy crusade against the last paganic human kingdom. If their leader, St. Laban the Just manages to forge a further alliance with Emperor Krissos the Third of Andorf, Ripkin can kiss his ass goodbye. Malek himself originates from Andorf. His heavily armored kinsmen and their giant warhorses can't be matched on a field of battle. Malek and his gang of human vampire buffoons would side with Ripkin, of course, but in the end Malek couldn't care less about his boyfriend's political games.

As a final solution Ripkin might quite literally open the gates of hell on his backyard, inviting the full force of Hath Dalaka to the old world for one last big showdown between misunderstood chaos and smug virtue. The exiled red-eyed children of chaos have a score to settle with the self-righteous Chestelins. If Ripkin can't keep his empire, no one can.

It might be that. Or then he's just out of cigarettes.

OMIGAWD!
Rip's a beauty and Melk's.......Malek(?)...does that do for a definition ò_____O?

Malek's just Malek. :p

You've done an excellent job translating Ripkin into a human while keeping him recognizable. I spotted him from your main page. I've always pictured Ripkin with Mediterranean features.

Hey, thanks! I know his face is really angular and unrealistic, but I just like that sharp look. :)

'Sharp' is definitely a word I would apply to Ripkin, and since it's hard to make 'fire' and 'swarm of bees' facial features, I think you mad the right choice.

cool so thid id his human form! =D

Yub, that's him. I almost like him better that way. Almost. :)

i think i like his original form too! XD is he as devious in this form , then in his original form?

Oh, sorry! I completely forgot to reply. That's what I get for accidentally nuking all the comments I've received. :o

But yeah, he is always devious, no matter what form he inhabits!

NP ,NP , well lol =3

Ripkin looks like a rascal in human form too, I guess you can´t hide what you are, no matter the disguise , hehehe

I'm glad his wonderful personality shines through. ^_^

Lots and lots of silky black hair <3 <3

Ripkin looks troubled; did someone confuse him with a tender emotion?

I love Malek's profile!

Also: Elfquest <3 <3 <3 <3

It's possible that Ripkin is mad because some meddling teenagers have once again foiled his genius plan for cutting down the last remaining rain forests and taking over the world.

...meddling kids!
