Remember http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/10851/ ? I coloured it ( a long time ago).

-POEM-
Fractured Soul
So long I have waited
Split my own flesh
Waited in pure silence
Ached and writhed in agony
To try and keep my broken wings

It was beyond all comprehension
The haunting pain and shame
To be stripped of my disfigured wings
Reached for hte flying feathers,
An attempt to savour such foul beauty
Only to fail by being bound
By my childish desires

An impure heart, a heavy soul
Forged with the cruelest
Memories of shattered hope
Mutilated myself to redeem
Time's scar, blinded myself
So I would be ignorant to truth
As much as I hoped it would
Have healed the infected wound
Upon my core, I was wrong
And all that remains
Is a fractured and frail soul

-UNDERSTANDING-
View the set of images from the top righthand corner, to the bottom left corner.
Self reflection - please read the poem first.
I wasn't too sure where to put this, considering that it's a lot different to my usual stuff. It's very reflective though (as usual).
Do you recognise the character? It's pretty much Selen Roun, minus the cat ears! It's actually a portrayl of myself. Anyway... Her wings are different to other angels. Notice - her wings have the basic structure of normal wings, but they have 'tendrils' and are quite fuzzy... Hairs, curves, what not. This is the association to 'foul beauty'. Each figure relates to the poem, so it IS important that you do read it.
I wanted to convey the feeling of self hate and suffering. The wings represented my innocence, and what I became after a few incidents in my past... The removal of the wings signifies trying to let go of the past, but it left a scar upon me... A very deep scar. Reaching for the feathers is also a relation to me, trying to hold onto my past, and deny the fact that it happened... Trying to hold onto my innocence, but it was already gone... This pose is referenced later.

-MY VIEWS-
One of my best colour pencil attempts. Definately one of my best. The colouring came out incredibly smooth, and I love the way that the red and purple parts of her wings stand out so much, and drag the viewer's eye about the picture. Surprisingly simple though. Does anyone else like hte blending and tone-age of the colours?
Not bad, thouh I could work on a lot, when I look at it now. Not bad though, considering I don't ink often. C&C please!

Sorry, I did a drawing and for one of the figures I used one of your drawings as a reference, just for the pose because it was so suitable. I used "Imperfect" as a guide to draw the body. I should have actually contacted you about this earlier.
May I please have permission to post my piece, and I will reference to you, that I used "Imperfect" as a reference for drawing.
^^" Thank you.

-TOOLS-
Five fineliners (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8)
