Pain

Another submission. I have rarely inked things in the last couple of years, and I was recently reminded why. >>;; *sucks at inking* I used my new Prismacolour...er...Prismacolor markers too...Unfortunately, I have very little variety in colour. Thus teh redundant red, black, and gray. I have a few others, but they clash terribly. >>;; Maybe I'll post one of my other pictures that use them later.

...Anyway, this is another submission for the 100 Themes challenge. Oh yeah, and if you didn't notice, that's Hiei. And he's all banged up. I sort of messed up after inking/colouring the sketch many times. >>;; Ah well. I really like how this turned out in real life. Unfortunately, the scanner sort of made it look wonkey. The red was deeper and less orangey. -_- The scan also seems to emphasize all of my errors in the picture. D:

...Oh well. I have the original copy, which looks decent, so I'm happy about this. 8D

...This was probably Tasogare-style Hiei, though I'm guessing that I'll change the colour scheme for his outfit. Possibly the clothes themselves too. Assuming it is in fact Tasogare-Hiei, the wounds were probably courtesy of the main villain, Akio.

**random spoiler info on Akio. Don't read if you don't want to know**




He's Hiei's father, who went insane after Hina's death. He blames his lover's death on Hiei and thus will try to have revenge on his son at all costs. *sighs* I've been keeping info on Akio to myself for far too long. Yes, that spoiled a bit of the plot, but I've been keeping it to myself for two years. I sort of wanted to let it out, as I don't know if I'll ever post the doujinshi.


*end of doujinshi-related spoiler**

Soo...yeah. That sums it up.
