Another picture from my second Darkwing fanfic, "Reversed Polarity", here we see Nega-Elmo Sputterspark shortly after he recieved his massive shock...and doesn't know what the heck is going on. Unlike the "normal" Megavolt, who went cheerfully insane as a result of his Accident and became a villian...Nega-Elmo kept (most of) his sanity but lost his memory...leaving an extremely confused little mutant who doesn't WANT these dangerous powers ("I can't be around normal people anymore! I might _hurt_ them!"), is frightened of his own self...and doesn't even know WHAT he is, let alone _who_. A rather sad picture from what is possibly one of the most _angsty_ moments in any of my fics...odd when you consider that it's based off a show mainly known for COMEDY. I don't normally DO, or even _like_, "angst", but in this story, at this particular moment...it was appropriate. Not fake, sappy, overdone angst shoved down the reader's throat, but _real_ sadness for real reasons.
This one I did as sort of an "experiment in style", and deliberately so. The scribbly messyness and ragged edges point up the fact that he's just been put through the wringer (and the fact that his clothes are now CATCHING ON FIRE just by being in contact with his skin...er, fur). Notice also that he's actually _furry_, something I rarely do with my anthro character pictures. (And the FUR is standing on end, too! ;)) As for the hair, yes, I _know_it should be in an Afro, but I thought having the long hairs stick STRAIGHT out in delicate strands would be cuter. :P It also, again, looks more ragged and pathetic. This whole picture has a strange feeling of being funny-looking but sad at the same time...
And even though I KNOW that if I try it I'll get knocked halfway into next millenium, I still want to _hug_ the poor little guy. Awww...
