The SyllabusA dark figure strode across the campus of the University, darkness, light, angels and demons clung around him in a miniature cloud of creativity. “Excited?” One small spined dragon asked from the boy’s shoulder. “Of course!” came the jittery reply, “I get to do a whole lot of conjuring, watch other people conjure, get deep down and gritty with magic and sorcery just as I’ve always wanted!” The dark little wizard nearly tripped on the shoe-laces of his Vanns. Jolted off his perch, the little black dragon fell off shouting, “Here! Wait for me!” It was picked up by one of the more helpful creatur

Don't Rip the SkinHere I am, you believe what you see. A small, though black, sheep.
Innocent? Harmless?
Take it as you will, but don’t rip the skin.
You try to tell me where to go, what to do,
What I should think; but have you ever noticed
That your little black sheep isn’t following?
Have you ever noticed the deep coal-lit eyes of this sheep?
Have you ever noticed the occasional blood upon my muzzle?
Take me for a sheep but don’t rip the skin.
It actually took quite awhile to get it.
Sheep don’t normally come where I came from.

I'm both happy and angry about this picture. I'm happy that I went out of my comfort zone and drew someone with arms (gasp). And I'm happy that my inking seems to have improved. I'm a bit angry at myself because the anatomy is very bad, the folds of the clothes aren't right, and he looks a little like Sephiroth.

This is not Sephiroth, this is Tsuru, a blind swordsman (ohohoho how unoriginal...) character of mine. People started calling him Tsuru (crane) because of his odd hair. He eventually forgot his own name because no body used it anyway. He thinks it might have been Bob.
Tsuru was born September 13th and he likes birds, swordsmanship, telling stories and Natto. He dislikes dogs which tend to bark at him because he's a tramp.

Natto is very smelly fermented soybeans that look as though they are covered in slimy yellowish troll bogeys. Most people consider them extremely nasty. I like them. I think they taste good, and so does Tsuru.
