Okay, so wow... there's been about two years break in my livejournal. RL stuff kind of.. got in the way. As RL tends to do, and I haven't been writing much at all.

I would really like to get back into writing though, a few pieces in particular are bugging at me to continue them, and I figure the best way to do that is to get encouragement from like-minded people. So hopefully I'll be posting poetry bits and drabbles and stories on here more often. :-)

For now, here's a poem I wrote aaages ago. XD

Under the Knife

There's beauty!
Where? Beneath the flab,
Peel off the clothes,
Pull back the fat.
Reveal the gaunt and twisted thing
That dwelt beneath the ghastly skin.
Tie back the hair, reveal the face,
Beneath the gore resides our case,
The masterpiece we'll call our own;
The girl that hid within the crone.
Our eyes are sharp,
Our knives are keen,
She'll hardly even feel a thing as we
mold and sculpt beneath the skin.

And when we're done,
What pride she'll feel!
This face we give that isn't real
Will bless her with true love for life,
Until the Belle begins to fade,
And then once more she'll need our blade.

Hey, in my last post I had a couple of pieces where the links didn't work. I couldn't figure out how to fix them, but now I have, so... here's the link again. Check it out. I'm posting another couple of pieces up now.

http://depravedemure.livejournal.com/1401.html#cutid1  <--- I apologize for my lack of linkage skills. It doesn't seem to work in richtext mode...


And here are those new pictures I "promised".



So yeah. Those are the newest couple. Or... the newest scanned and uploaded. I have a couple more inks and some other pictures I might share.

My response to thebutlerdidit 's request for a 'tribesman'. There's a tiny drabble to go with it.

Ok, so, here's my first result from the drabble/doodle meme I put up on my LJ and got a whole 2 responses for. (I was shocked! I got some!)

It's Ves, for Gabriel, hunted_always.


Hope I got it pretty right, Gabriel. I couldn't find a description of his hair, so I just whacked a helmet on him. XD -slacker- Um. The torso and the legs, just the body in general I guess, is awful. Way too long, and his hips are too slim. The helmet... God. I really wish I could redo that. The gun.. is me just taking a basic gun shape and chopping bits out and sticking bits on, so we're just going to say that's a gun from the future and they all look like that. I had a lot of fun with the armor. And I apologize for my skills, or lack thereof. I coloured really basically in the GIMP, just using the paintbucket tool, because my shading skills are non-existant. So this is a cartoon, rather then anything else that could be more impressive. XD

The text down the bottom says" "Don't fuck with me. - Ves."

For English at the moment we have to write a short story. This is my contribution to the boredom of my English teachers. Someone tell me what they think. XD I need the boost.

I'm not sure I like it. Description and imagery has always been one of my strong points. Unfortunately, writing coherant and interesting stories isn't. Which sucks.

EDIT: I put up the edited version: only a few minor changes. And I also realised that it's 1000 words over the limit. -sigh-

The first ten people to comment on this post get to request a drabble/drawing from me on a subject/character of their choosing. Your wish is My Command.

THE CATCH: You must post this meme in your journal.

Anyone who's checking out my journal in connection to slashedleather, kudos to you, and heads up. XD
