Is there a point to this? After all that's happened? Will it end? Or will we keep playing this never-ending game for eternity? Ahhh, probably not what you were expecting Mikau ;u; Okayyy story time: I was planning to do something with just Kaito and RoboKai, but it really wasn't coming along right. So I switched to something broader, and just made it MK centric. I highlighted some of the few events that might've been traumatizing to this poor child. There's Toichi's death, Silver's death, Nightmare's death, RoboKai (so I did manage to include him somehow!) and of course this bastard Corbeau. Hope you guys like! ( On tumblr)

Different, yes, but still very, very good! I really like how you managed to incorporate so many scenes but still make it cohesive! It works together really well, and I like the orange. ^o^

Hm, lesee, le see... *thinks* Welp, we still have until the 25th to come up with something. That means I still have extra time to get me a new set of good sketchy papers :3 Oh, and of course there's that thing about whether or not I want it colored...

I would love to participate too, but my drawings skills resume to drawing an eye... -.- Guess I better stick with writing, at least people seem to like my stories... XD
Good luck for those who are participating!!

I'm sooooo glad that we got another entry. I was worried. ^.^; The lighting and colors are really pretty, by the way.
One more entry anyone? Anyone?

Third entry! Admittedly not much of one, but still. This might end up being a series later, if I find more quotes for more people. I have one in mind for KID, but who knows when/if that'll get done, so this is my entry for now. I thought the quote (a french proverb) seemed appropriate for Haibara/Shiho. I've given her the symbol of the queen, since she's very important and powerful to both sides, and the black side is currently going crazy trying to take her out. The only other piece that seemed appropriate for her would be the bishop, but I kind of wanted to make KID the bishop, if that ever happens. So she's queen. Anyway. Materials are pigma pens and black marker in case anyone's interested. Also I'm terrible at hand lettering. Oh well!

So yeah. I dunno what this has to do with chess, but I picked "head to head with a rival," and/or "desperate struggle" so... here you go~ Think what you will, Subaru-san pointing a gun at Amuro-san, or one or both of them could be fake, whichever you choose. I wanna make it look sinister, particularly the one who looks like Subaru-san... I had fun with the ink so I decided not to color it and now I'm off to work on the prompt exchange!~ (Also, ichthy... no, you're not terrible at hand lettering. It's difficult to write white letters against black background, in your defense *nods*)

Both of them look lovely Traditional art can be really fun, sometimes easier than digital.
