Reality and Illusions "M...Muda da..." The words left the boy's mouth with a mouthful of blood. He tried to stand up, but couldn't. His strength was gone. Pain overpowered him.

"And who the HELL told you that you could give up?"

"Muh...?!" He looked up and was surprised to see a pink-haired pirate - Hilda - standing over him. Surely he was delirious...When had she gotten here?

"Your sister's waiting for you on the ship. You gonna let something like THIS keep you two apart?

Blood poured from the open stab wound in his back as she spoke, seeping into the ground.

The pinkette smirked and stepped over him to survey him from another angle.

"You're a wreck."

That Damn Smile "Awooooo!"

The sound the 16-year old uttered, reminiscent of a monkey, died in the back of his throat as he brought one hand across, twisting it towards his sparring partner in a classic "Come and get it!" gesture.

Kota lunged, bokken a mere blur in the air as he slashed again and again. Marh was just as fast though - dancing as though he had been born to do it - which, in all honesty, he probably had.

His leg, which was every bit as fast as Kota's strike, seemed to snap out of nowhere and Kota quickly went to parry. Before he could, however, the teenager had withdrawn his foot, twisting and leaping into a much higher and powerful kick witThat Damn Smile by =Contentious-Tiger

Dark Sorcerer - Kit Exploration She moved through her environment as quickly and silently as though she was the wind.

Her blade flashed a poisonous green as it struck its target, stinging and slashing, cleaving and cutting.

Filled with elation at her victorious endeavours.

But deep down, still she felt hollow.

She was devoid of real ambition. The desire to improve. In her own eyes, she was already the best.

Until just recently...

Never had she encountered someone who fought with such ferocity. Like a crushing wind, infused with lightning.

Burning, like an inferno.

Katherine remembered the strain on her muscles, the sweat rolling down her brow. It took everything sheDark Sorcerer - Kit Exploration by =Contentious-Tiger

Alex アレックス
Artist | Hobbyist | Digital Art

United States

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste...

Kiddin'. I'm neither of those things, but here I go anyway:

I like nighttime walks, rain, martial arts, drawing... Stuffs like that. I live in Alaska, have for pretty much ever, and I love it. It's beautiful. C:

My art: I was inspired by a lot of different artists, mostly Tetsuo Hara, Rumiko Takahashi, BusterGarou and Matt Busch. I picked up bits of other people's styles that suited me best and compiled them into what I guess could be considered 'realistic manga' style. I do somewhat realistic work from time to time, but not very often. I do write sometimes, thanks to encouragement from one of my closest friends (you know who you are!) and even though digital painting seems to be my forte, I'm also trying to get more into writing.

I will probably direct a couple of films at one point for my dad, and possibly act in some too. I also love martial arts. LOVE it. As much as I love drawing/painting. It's vital to my life. XD So you may hear me make references that involve martial arts, particularly pertaining to people like Bruce Lee, who is, for the record, my idol, and Jackie Chan. Um... That's all I really have to say for now... XD

Have a good day!

Journal Entry: Tue May 22, 2012, 7:49 PM

Okay, so for once I'm updating and warning everyone... for what little or no point there is to it... lol.

Anyway, I shall be gone from dA for a few days, as I'm going to Fairbanks later today... therefore unlikely to respond to comments or the like during that time. I should be back Sunday. I've been in a bit of a rut the past few days, so... hopefully getting out and about will do me some good and cheer me up.

Take care, y'all!

------------------------
I may not like the axe, but there's no denying that whacking that thing for ten or fifteen minutes leaves you sweating!

When my great gran died, the hill behind our house had several trees cut away and uprooted in order to make room for the grave. Those trees are still laying on the hill, so now every day I'll go up with the axe and cleave at one of the trees. It works some serious muscle there, y'know.

As a weapon, I've always found the axe... unsuited to me. Such a small range for the blade, with all the weight at the end. It's too unbalanced for me. But it still works great for choppin' wood.

Also I've fallen in love with the SAMURAI trilogy, starring Toshiro Mifune. It's based on the life of the Kensei, Miyamoto Musashi and is very inaccurate in some respects, but I still love it. Great epic movies... :3 Anyone else here seen them?

Apart from that nothing new. Just trying to get some drawing done... but I've been so ill the past five, six days or thereabouts it hasn't really done much for my creativity. :/ Sorry. Maybe I'll have something up soon.

[link] Here, the Transporter... this package contains REALITY!

And a message to someone out there. I've only had carrot cake, and that was a while ago....

The person at whom the message is aimed will get what I'm talkin' about.

So what happened to not wanting to change the username, believing it was a pointless addition?

=Contentious-Tiger 1 day ago Hobbyist Digital Artist

Lol no I said it was kinda cool, especially if someone made a mistake typing their name the first time and needed to correct it, but that I probably wouldn't change mine because I liked it... however, that changed when I actually thought of something I liked more and seemed more fitting.

~Bandersnatcher 1 day ago New member Hobbyist Traditional Artist

And how is that anymore fitting?

=Contentious-Tiger 1 day ago Hobbyist Digital Artist

The fact that I love combat, martial arts and fighting... contentious works with that. and my love of cats works with Tiger. There's more, but that's pretty much the basics behind it.
