Spoiler: show

...because i HATE to draw backgrounds... yay for gradient in photoshop!!

Anyways, this is Caine from the book we all know so well: GONE! The fifth book Fear, i mean!

So, you who has read it knows what this is about, and you who hasnt dont. but i appreciate if you like the image even though you dont know the character or story, that you will comment anyway, and speak your mind!:) Im a little on edge today, so i appologise if this message is a little forward.

Anyways. This was SO fun to draw! I used majorly two days on it, and then i did little nitpicking to make it perfect. so all in all 3 days. I used a reference for the face, because it is HELL to draw faces from that angle. Though it was soo much fun, and i know the waist look ridiculously smal, but that is simply cuz of the light... it was drawn to be wider than it is, you can download to see some more details! :)

I think this is one of my most detailed body drawings in a while, and i am truly happy with how it turned out!^^

Inspired by ~Iordania's [link] , as it made me realize how much i wanted to do this scene! I have been wanting to draw this since i read it, so im really glad i finally did!^^ maybe ill draw a background later!x)

ART (C) me, do not use or alter without asking me!

Wow- this is astonishing!
I love the raw emotion and texture in this piece, it's probably the best Caine art I've ever seen (And i've browsed through several dozen)
I'd really like to sample more of your work, this ones astounding!
(Plus Caine's awesome. Just a note.)

Thank you!^^ Im really glad you like it! :D
http://dioris.deviantart.com/gallery/36572377 this is the collection of all my Gone art this far, if youre really interested!^^ Please dont upload or use it on the internet without asking me first!;)
But im really flattered that you really like it! :D And yeah, caines awesome, sometimes!;)

I haven't commented on any of your other work (I should have but my internet was fritzing), but I HAVE to tell you how AMAZING your work is. My favorite is the last scene in FEAR you posted, it was perfect with the rain and everything. You should consider being an artist when you grow up, you're FANTASTIC! I'm stunned with each new post you make in the Arts section, keep up the breath-taking pieces of work!

I comment on a lot of your art, and that's because it's always gorgeous. This was is extremely good. There is so much punch behind it, it's a very powerful picture. The white background actually makes it look so purely dramatic. And it's very true to the books, and so realistic.

Oh wow! You guys are really sweet, and im majorly flattered!^^
I really wanted to draw a sexy, submissive Caine, because thats what every girl wants, right?;)
BUt yeah i realize he wouldnt really have that kind of muscles, but this was also a practice to draw a body in that position, so i really wanted to play around with muscles!
Also i really needed to get the crown and cement correct, as that was a BIG part of the image! The crown was the most fun!^^
I don't know if i really wanna be an artist when i "grow up"! basically because i dont think i could do art if im not inspired, but if i am, sure, i might try to sell something!^^ I also love doing design and graphics! But the thing i really wanna do is make movies!^^

That is amazing, I thought it was a photo at first. I love the detail on the body and the emotion on his face. All your other art is also really good.

God I love all your art you are a freakin amazing artist! I LOVE THIS!

AWh thank you guys!^^
I am really glad you like this, as i freaking love it! :D Thank you so much!^^

Love the idea, would like to see you do something with the scene where they're breaking the concrete. This is a really nice piece!

OF COUSE WE WANT THE KING! This picture is awesome and I'm not just saying that because Caine is absolutely amazing! -well not totally anyway!

Your art always leaves me speechless!!!

Wow, do you belong to some art school? It is amazing, you could actually make business doing this, Gone fans like me will pay for art like this, not offering money, just stating.
