This is a picture of little Ivan and Adam from Static Shock. Ivan raised Adam from the time after their dad died. The only redeming valuity of Ebon is his dedication to his family. I wanted to draw this one after watching "Grave of the Fireflies" for the billionth time and hearing Setsuko demanding to be carried.

The scene is on a street in a poor neighborhood. Ivan is carrying a sleeping Adam around because it isn't safe to sleep in one place. Ivan is around 7 and Adam 4. Ivan is forced to grow up alittle too fast so he can care for his brother.

wow! This is amazing! When you showed me the sketch, I was pretty excited about seeing this in color. I have seen '...Fireflies', too, and see that connection with this pic. I like the details you've made with their shoes---the scuff marks, the untied shoelaces...and the way Ivan's carrying around his little brother truly makes me feel for them both. Way amazing pic, chica! This is definitely going into my faves... ^_^

Thanks again so much.

I was trying to make the way Ivan carried Adam show that they are close. Also show that Ivan is the eyes and ears, protector. Also I purposely made Ivan in more shadow than Adam. He saw more and kept Adam from as much as he could. I'm a character , alright.

Thank you again.

It's not the size of the ship, it's the motion of the ocean. (But it takes a long time to get to England in a rowboat.)

Hoorah for double entendres, my friends. 8D

This is the best kind of person to talk to: someone who is willing to take an honest look at the evidence. Being willing is essential. Evidence cannot convince the unwilling.

I don't know. You have to be off in the first place for the gas to work. I assume it just pushed him over the edge like the rest of them. That's why it had no effect on Virgil, he was stable. Still wish they had made Richie evil though.
