Artist's Comments

Nero had trouble adjusting to his wings, a feat highly understandable, for Shelke herself had trouble coping with the residual exhaustion that the neural synaptic net dives left in their wake. The tightly bound man would bump into every stationary object before finally honing in on his stealth like dexterity. He tripped a lot, too. And he had a great difficulty getting back up. Azul was usually the one nominated to help him, since Shelke was too weak and Rosso lacked the required interest to actually care. Weiss advocated tough love and learning for yourself. Thus Azul was always left to pick up the pieces – literally, sometimes, say when Shelke malfunctioned in her terminal – and play big brother for all. It was a feat he preformed without complaint for some five years until the day came when he simply stopped caring and took to only looking after himself. It was a transition that would have stung a lot more had the rest of the group not have gone numb and actually retained feelings of humanity. But they did not – so it was of no great loss, viewed more as an inconvenience than a treachery.

, Chapter One [link]

Careful, Azul, Nero looks like he's about to claw your eyes out. Clearly he does not like have other people pick him up when he falls down.

READ THE FIC. SRSLY.

I...I...

...I think I love you.

Can we make internet babies, please?

Like, for realz.

Let's move to California, get married, and somehow have kids. Adoption comes to mind. Perhaps mail order. The possibilities are endless.

And this is so ironic, because I was JUST WORKING on Memoires yesterday, obviously thinking of you, and then all of the sudden I am graced with another epic piece of fan art just waiting to be pimped and adored and drooled over.

And - this time I fell in love with the detail. Most specifically the shadowing - like, Nero has a shadow on the ground. Most people would never have taken the time to draw such minute things, or even think to, for that matter.

I am, as always, impressed beyond words by your sheer talent and artistic capabilities - and am now setting up a separate folder on my DA account specifically for fan art - and even more specifically: yours.

Excuse me while I go and share this masterpiece with the world.

I must have subconsciously sensed you typing, because it was yesterday that I finally had the will (it's exam week, I am braindead) to sit down and put the finishing touches on this one. Did you know I'd never drawn Azul before? All of the other Tsviets I had, but not him. I'd say "poor guy" except that after the battle with Arch Azul, I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. I actually watch his death scene for kicks. And because it has Nero in it, too, but mostly for kicks. =P

I GET A FOLDER???

Wow, yeah, I think I do need to have your internet children or something. =P I swear when I take my trip to the USA, there's no force on earth that will stop me from coming to see you. But that might not be for three years or so. >> Stupid global financial crisis.

Now I have only to decide which piece to work on next... Hmm...

At the risk of sounding childish: Nero x Shelke forever!
:iconquatercomet:
Teheehee, despite having the better part of his face all taped up, you give Nero the best of expressions! :D

Though, if I may be so bold to suggest that you may want to think of consider drawing: "Yuffie attempts a glare, but Shelke kind of holds the award for epic glaring. Yuffie can’t make her eyes change color." -Chapter 3, next?

(I'd fain to see Yuffie go from all 'D:<' to 'O_O' when Shelke just responds by making her eyes glow. xD)

--
Hey, where can I find the next transit to reality?
:iconreadingchick:
It's all in the eyes. Eyes are awesome. =P

I actually have a list of the snippets I need to draw. It's getting very long. Vixen's creative awesomeness knows no bounds, yes? (And I totally need to get around to reviewing Chapter 3, because OMG THE SHELKERO HINTS, but I haven't had the freaking time to give her what she deserves... So I think it has to wait until later because I don't want to give her a crappy half-assed review.)

So. Yes. Will add that to the list. -does so- =D

:iconquatercomet:
I have a funny feeling that your list is bound to rival the length of Yuffie's tally of 'Shelke's funnies' sooner or later. ;p

T'would appear that I can't get enough of the Shelkero hints, either, :D though it's a shame that it's so tough to get more posters and responses on Blacklight... but meh, the community grows regardless! :)

Hope you get the time to review/draw! (I, for one, suggest No Doz. xD)

I read this entire correspondence with mouth agape, and eyes slightly glazed over with sentimental tears, for I was so touched and elated to see people receiving my chicken scratch in such a positive light.

-glomps QuarterComet-

(Would glomp ReadingChick as well, but I fear I have glomped her too much as is. XD)

I am so happy I am able to make you happy with my hints of Shelke X Nero, which I wasn't aware was even legal until I met this girl named ReadingChick who seemed quite rabid about it...

(And now I fear that I, too, am now infected with this compelling disease.)

My mind is just boggled that, not only do I get the honor and extreme pleasure of receiving fan art, but I also have readers like QuarterComet here who are willing to take the time to talk about my little drabble of a story and like it enough to actually have favorite scenes.

(You two have just made my LIFE.)

And the No Doz comment? Totally made of win. Laughed. Hard. Parents thought I was asphyxiating, actually.

And the Shelke's Funnies comment elicited no different of a reaction. Thus I fear I am in love with the two of you for brightening my dismal morning so extremely.

It's people like you who give me all the inspiration I will ever need to get through life.

... Now I wanna go work on chapter four ....

(Also: what is this Black Light business I hear about? Is it concerning Sheke and Nero, by any chance?)

I would never have guessed you hadn't drawn Azul before. He looks as stunning as all the other characters you execute so flawlessly.

DAMN STRAIGHT YOU GET A FOLDER!

Right at the top of the list, too!

And - if you were anywhere near my proximity, I would fear for the lives of all and any that dared to stand in my way of glomping you. Hard.

I ate one of the drabbles you sent me, by the way!

I must send an email about its amazing-ness!

(Alas, I wish I could draw a tribute to it as well, but I fear I merely doodle, and not too well, at that.)

Oh well - it's the thought that counts, right?

Teheh, I was a pretty quiet Shelkero fan until RC revived my love for it (went into withdrawl with the whole 'might/is/potentially dead' afterthought for the guy liner mascot)... still, I'm glad to see you've been infected by the hype of it! :D

(Blacklight [link] is this nifty forum RC and another person (MedliR) created as 'The Shelkero Manifesto'. I only found out about it during August, so I'm pretty much a n00b still... though, it's got some interesting topics! :3)

Hope your day isn't as dismal as your morning once was. :hug:

-language centre deactivates again- Darn it, woman, I need that for composing the review of Chapter 3!

((Hah, the feeling is entirely mutual with regards to the glomping and the proximity. You get lots of hugs when I come to see you. Because I am a very huggy person. And I look forward to the email. =D))

-dies of happiness at the mere thought of you drawing Shelkero art, even if it is just stick figures-
