Mind of the Black NeocalwotI'm at a loss for what to do
I'll have some fun with these sharp claws
I think I want to murder you
And cause some pain with these two paws

It excites my soul for you to cry
With Grimindur I'll cut your skin
I'd like to watch you slowly die
I'll do all that it takes to win

Torture is, to me, a game
I'll make a little cut, right here
How long will you survive the pain?
Your scream is all I want to hear

A ghost that threatens from my past
Inject you with a painful flame
I'm sure to end your life, and fast
My troubles all on you I blame

I can't believe it's come to this
So many ways to kill you, how?
You lose your last breath w

Untruthful ReflectionUntruthful Reflection

do you ever wonder if the reflection lied?
don't set your soul apon a shelf
if you really want to see yourself
then you must look inside
deep, where your secret fears reside

gems and emerals shimmer bright
but that lone tree apon the field
that spark of life no more concealed
bathed in sun or moon's stark light
is more glorious far than jewels in sight

fear lurks here inside my mind
a worthless life, for nothing spent
I wonder can I be content?
a more priceless gift than gold combined
my soul through God's perception find

the clouds are restless on the wind
a wisper from a helpless child
I can't be wea

Happy Halloween! 2012: Spooky Kittiesby ~Talonclawfange

Traditional Art / Paintings / Animals

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Feelin' pretty good this October cuz I'll finally get to spend it with my husband (the Army stole him the last 2) and I actually found some time to paint! These are our adorable kitties: my husband's orange fluffy fur factory Toby, also called buddy, bub, and sweet boy. And my bratty but lovely girl Nightshade, also known as my angel, my love, shady girl, and you mean little brat. We love them both very much and they make perfect halloween cats as far as coloration goes!

To comment on the quality, yes I know the lighting is horrible. I still have a lot of improving to do there. The fur could use a lot of work too. But, I believe the picture is nicely laid out and I'm happy with all the details I put into it. The thing I'm most proud of though is the fact that the cats actually look like ours! If you don't own a cat you may think they all look the same, but our babies have very unique faces and personalities which i think i captured well. What do you think? critiques are always welcome!

and here is the last time I painted nightshade a few years ago: [link] big improvement, huh?

Acrylic and mechanical pencil on thick printing paper (not art qualitiy...when will I start using good paper?) 14+ hours

Wooah. That's some fancy coloring work!

thanks!

Aww cute! They both look very individual. Tortoiseshells are so difficult to colour
btw those links are private on FB, can't see the pictures

~Talonclawfange Oct 17, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

thanks! and yeah Nightshade's fur was a pain and I still didn't do it as well as I'd hoped to, but it does look a lot better than the last time I did it: [link]
oh...and DERP I forgot my FB pics could only be seen by friends, so i replaced those pics with some from photobucket and deviantart so you should be able to view them now

wow ^^ this looks really nice talon! the kittys are so cute!
me and mom saw a kitten with nightshades fur coloring, we wanted to get her but mom hesitated too long and someone else adopted her. but you're right, they're the perfect holloween cats ^^

~Talonclawfange Oct 17, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thanks! and aww thats a bummer....I hear torties tend to be brats though (dunno what their fur has to do with their personality O_o) it's certainly true for my girl, however she is very sweet and affectionate to me and me only....

~sekkechi Oct 17, 2012

lol cats tend to pick 1 or 2 people to love and adore, everyone else they just tolerate

my little megan was like that with me and my dad. she was an orange tabby cat (which it turns out are usually male ._.; but she was orange and a girl) and i could not sit down in the living room without her ploping herself right onto my lap. she seemed to ninja her way there sometimes, cause i didn't know she was even in the room xD

Cats seem to always show up in Halloween pics. Congrats on getting your husband back! And the lighting looks fine. The fur is the thing that needs some work, but I like the style it's in at the moment. If you want to improve the entire thing, that would work too. A picture is never really complete.

~Talonclawfange Oct 16, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

XD you have a point. I could have kept working on this for hours, but I recognize I have poor lighting and fur skills right now and would just overwork this piece and make it look crappier if i kept going at it. Just need to practice those things a bit more

Thanks for looking at my work and faving it!

Don't worry, it still looks nice.
