11.

Next phase, next craze, next nothing new.
Got the pretty boy beat him up black and blue.
Broke the sissy boy's teeny toy heart in two.
Turned him into a video kid like you.

I know you're just pretending.
There's no window for mistakes.
I know you see right through me.
There's no promise left to break.

Shot the pretty boy killed him on commodore.
Need a new game, need a new something more.
Got a new face got a new way to score.
Got a voice like something I've heard before.

The message misleading.
We're lying, we're cheating.
We're only repeating.
The motions preceding.

I guess Aiden was tired of being drawn all Avatar-ized, and demanded to be drawn feckin' NORMAL for a change. xDDD

Anyway. I wanted it to feel all cramped and cornery and kinda uncomfortable. Like being stifled and trapped by your own thoughts and actions and memories, unable to speak or escape or even hide behind the mask you've made of yourself. Hence, his arm over his mouth, both eyes open and not covered by his bangs, curled up, with the bondage straps undone. His socks are also the colours of Alexis' eyes. xDD I dunno if I succeeded. ^^; But I like it anyway. Being cornered in the past is... Sorta fitting for Aid'n. u.u

AND BEHOLD! I grow skilled in the art of awkward poses! :D Avatar-verse charrie design calls for a LOT of twisty limbs and action poses. I oughta upload 'em all in a big-ass scrap dump so you can see the product of my supposed "education". (Sadly, these drawing involve few ACTUAL Avatar charries, as in canon type characters, which is something I hope to correct sometime in the indefinitely near future. :nod: )

Also, I've been meaning to tack those lyrics to a picture of Aiden somewhere for a long time, and this picture was just perfect for it. Reading those lyrics will give you the basics of his life story. (I found the song after I had the basics of it layed out, too. Talk about creepy. 0.o;; )

Lastly, this looks SO much better in my sketchbook. Scanners KILL coloured pencils. T.T;; I'm also exploring a way of drawing that involves coloured pencils but no inking (GASP!) which, it appears, is working. VERY satisfactory. :3

:cookie: Here. Have a cookie if you read all that.

Three hours, roughly. Regular pencils, coloured pencils, some minor computer tweaking.
