[sketch] Count Cain -- student!Cain Hargreaves

So, I'm returning from my mini-hiatus much sooner than I expected. While I'm still pretty sad, getting back to my normal routine helps things out. Plus LJ is such an addiction. XD

Anyway, here's a Count Cain sketch I did last night. Its not THE Cain sketch I've talked about before (sorry [livejournal.com profile] ryutsuki, I know you've been waiting for that one), but its sort of related to it.

Sorry if the image is a little hard to see. Or it could just be hard to see for me. I'm not having a good vision day today. For some reason, my brother's scanner turns my pencil lines a blue-gray color.

This sketch is based off a picture I saw on [livejournal.com profile] tenimyuenorondo of former Kikumaru Eiji actor from Tenimyu*, Nagayama Takashi (aka Nagayan). I liked his pose (and his jacket ♥) so I decided to put Cain in his place. Cain was given a sweater vest, tie, and collared shirt because I adore nicely dressed men (I'm shallow!)... and because I think he'd be the type to dress well for class. XD Also added a lame background for not reason at all. Perhaps to fill up the abundant white space. I imagine he's smirking at Riff in this pic. XDDD

I wish I had made his front bangs longer (and overall, his hair messier), but I liked how it turned out so I kept it as is. What do you think?

Wow, I'm talking waaaayyyyy too much over such a simple sketch. XP

Museum of macabre looking for a new home -- Man, I love museums of medical oddities like the one in this article. Another museum, The Mütter Museum, is one I'd really like to visit one of these days.

Note to self: Super Princess Peach is released Wednesday.

*randomly stumbles here via [livejournal.com profile] xxx_holic and notices that you mentioned Mütter Museum*

Eh...I've visited the Mütter Museum on a school field trip. What I remember most are the gift shop and the multi-leveled room filled with skulls and other human remains. I suppose it would be a great experience to others who are interested in medical oddities—all I remember is that I was shaking with terror and gripping a random classmate's arm as we passed through the halls of bones. (I have a weird reaction to seeing anything dead. When I was little, I was terrified of the dinosaurs at the Museum of Natural History. Now, I find myself flinching at the sight of primates' bones and twitching in the prescence of taxedermy. I won't look at the body at an open-casket funeral—but that's partially for religious reasons.)

What were they thinking, sending unwitting MC chemistry students on an AP biology trip?!

You know, it amuses me when someone stumbles across my journal since I feel like my entries are so boring. XD

Sorry to hear that your trip to the Mütter Museum was less than enjoyable. I can understand why its not your type of trip to take, but I like that sort of thing (sketetons, fossils, etc.) so I'd probably have a totally different experience. ^_^

Indeed there is. ♥ Hey, if Yoshi can get his own game its only fair Peach can have one as well. XD What amuses me most is that her "sidekick" in the game is a talking parasol. Bwahahaha! That's almost as crazy as Link's talking cap Ezlo in The Minish Cap. Also, her powers come from her mood swings! Sort of. Craziness!!

Since I'm feeling lazy, lazy, lazy at the moment to properly tell you about the game (besides the parasol thing and the mood powers that is), here's a link to check out if you're interesting in knowing about it: Gamespot's review of Super Princess Peach (http://www.gamespot.com/ds/action/superprincesspeach/review.html).

That's just so random....but I like Peach. Daisy more. But I just might rent this game. If they actually have it anywhere!! Blockbuster and Movie Gallery never get anything.....

I love weird museums *_*

And I like your sketch! It's nice, especially his face and the window, and the clothes :D (actually, that's the entire sketch, huh...XD) You should post it to [livejournal.com profile] count_cain (hint hint).

XD Somehow I had a feeling you'd also be a lover of strange museums. You live in Pennsylvania right? If I remember correctly, The Mutter Museum is somewhere in Philadelphia.

Glad you liked the sketch. ♥ Maybe I'll post it over at [livejournal.com profile] count_cain tomorrow when I have more time and not feeling so lazy.

Yes, I love strange oddities...and, well, museums in general ♥
But awwww, I live near Pittsburgh. I've only driven past Philadelphia... If I ever go there, though, I'll definitely check it out!

That is absolutely freaky.

I wanna go.

ROAD TRIP!

But seriously, I wish I remembered where the weird museums in Texas were located. I want to see medical oddities!
