Artist's Comments

:skull: Full View for the itty bitty details! :skull:

Well, here's my very overdue end of the art trade I have going on with :iconkaruiru:! Sorry this one took so long but I still hope you really like it. :heart:

It's based of an idea that's been floating in my head for about three or so years: "JtHM" set in the Victorian era. Think Jack the Ripper, Sweeney Todd, Sherlock Holmes etc.

I'm really pleased with how it all turned out, especially Johnny (the Ripper ;P). I always thought my previous attempts at Nny looked way too...bishonen. Far too "pretty boy" for my liking. I wanted to get him all scrawny and creepied up and I think I succeeded there.

The frames were pretty freaking fun to do too. ;)

In case you were wondering, that's paint on Devi's gloves and Nny's? Well, he's a homicidal manaic, you can figure it out yourself. :mwahaha:

Oh, and just in case...

DISCLAIMER: "JtHM" and its characters belong to Jhonen Vasquez.

Aw, you're very welcome! :glomp:

The outfits were crazy fun to come up with as well as the old painting concept too. Almost the "haunted mansion" effect.

I'm really happy you like it. :)

Awesomeness! I especially love the way you drew the eyes, Johnny's evil look and Devi's er rings. ^^

Thank you very much!

The eyes (Johnny's in particular) are something I'm very proud of. :)

Devi's rings? :blush:

Thank you very much, Pie! :D

The frames are pretty fun to do, though pretty time consuming in their own right.

You're welcome.

Well the parts that you work on the most almost always look awesome in the end.
