Artist's Comments

for :iconallcor:'s cover contest~
presenting~
beyond the wasteland 2: bloodstroke...

it's not that i'm too lazy to color [well, that too, but...]
it's just black and white pic is HARD TO MAKE!
it's not as easy as it looks... *sigh*
well, that explains the mess...
anyway, i was having my own fun on this pic~ :heart:
i used so many symbols here... :D

i'm not going to give too much spoiler about the story, because i dedicated this project for :iconallcor: and :iconcleera: and i want it to be a surprise...
'beyond the wasteland' was born when i made a story for allcor, with my characters and hers in it...

bloodstroke is about thieves: a thief that doubts his own love.
a thief that tries to protect all she loves, and a thief that fights for his freedom.
bloodstroke is about monarchies: a kingdom that represses its people, a kingdom that tries to protect its people, a king with an ambition, and a queen that is torn between her kingdom or her people.
bloodstroke is about friends: who stay together when troubles appear. who work together for one noble goal.
bloodstroke is about assassins who never give up.
it tells you about laughters and tears, blood and sweat.
it tells you about life.
and death.

the pic [from 12 o'clock then move clockwise]:
- aureli the queen of zatga: when she has to choose between her kingdom and her people, which to choose?
- sabrina the thief: she loves her husband. she loves her friends. moreover, she loves her land.
- taiji kosen: when it comes to eternal bond, will he still be so sure about it?
- arvin ignos: enslaved by a ruthless king and poisoned, can he still survive and get back home to his own world?
- shadow: who's behind the cape? and why does he intend to kill the queen?

the three fire wisps symbolize us, allcor and cleera.
bloodstroke will never be like it is now if one aspect is gone.
the tangled thorns symbolize the problems between each characters are delicate and complex and hurtful...

i tried to copy the cover style of novels...
thank god i have enough materials... :D

thieves respect property. they merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.

The angels said: We can only do seven Virtues.
The demons said: We can only do seven Sins.
As angels we can't hate. As demons we can't love.
All of them arrived at some conclusions: Humans are really lucky. They have freedom to do both.
