Kale for =yourpleasantdarkness in a gesture of thanks and congratulations on coming this far. Good luck in life, Plea. I wish you luck and boundless inspiration! c': I know you'll do well.

So I was going to start drawing something epic with Cyrus, but then something in my brain went "auugh more Cyrus? <|" so then I was like ".. well fine, I'll just pick someone who doesn't belong to me. And fire. I want fire." And voila, it became Anthony's Kale Matthews. I must say that I'm extremely satisfied with how this turned out. I don't think I would have done this well if I had tried to make it one of my own characters. For some reason I just needed to draw someone who doesn't belong to me. If you want to know more about Kale you'll have to read Plea's work.

I went a little nuts with the glowy stuff, but that's what I wanted to do from the beginning.

My need to play with fire was inspired by this beautiful piece of work: [link]
Pose reference: [link]
Background texture: [link]

And I listened to a lot of MCR while I did this. I may not be emo, but damn it I like their music.

...Hug your children, folks. : | Kale was never hugged as a child, and look what it did to him.
