Artist's Comments

I was watching Static and pondering Shiv's Asian-ness when I thought of this. I also had the "Siamese Twins" song from Big Fish stuck in my head. They remind me of him. I don't know why.

The costume is a design by me. I love it and that's why I'm posting this. The design is combination of traditional Japanese and Thai clothing. I see him as Siamese. The costume is altered at the belt to emphasize him being thin. A double wrap when a single is traditional in Thailand. I also included vastly more female Thai clothing than male. Oh well, Shiv wouldn't mind.

I had some trouble deciding on how to emphasize his powers so I added a bird so he could create a perch with his hands. This brings me to the bird. Its an Asian Pheasant. I've seen one or two before. Beautiful birds and the color scheme for the costume. Red, gold, yellow, blue, black.

I like my last picture of Shiv better in terms of Shiv. His face is messed up in too many ways in this picture. It made it hard to color because it was driving me insane. However, the bird and the costume were lovely and I think that makes up for it. Plus, what Static fan doesn't want to see Shiv in dangling earrings?

By the way, this is also a gift for everyone who got me to 1,000 pageviews. I love you guys. You are awesome!

OH wow, I think this is beautiful, myself. Well, anything with Shiv in it is, for me, orgasmic liek woah. Much :heart: to Shivvy. He rawks. :3

Okay so yeah. This pic. Is gorgeous. Love the references to traditional Thai and Japanese culture, seems like you really did your research. And of course, only Shiv could pull off looking this fuckably delicious in fscking female Thai/Japanese robes. Fuck. *humps his leg*

And I like his face. I think it's hott. *giggles and frolics off*

Thank you so much.

Actually, the robe is a Japanese male style. The sash and waist wrap is the feminine articles as are the earrings.

Quite beautiful. The robe is great; I really love the bird design on the back tying in with the bird on his arm. Speaking of which, that bird is damn cool too. The feminine articles of his outfit don't make him effeminate at all. Shiv I guess is just one of those guys who can pull that off. Also, I think his face looks fine. Maybe a little calmer than usual, but Shiv can do calm ... sometimes. :D

And the bird is beautiful. :love:

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

Shiv is supposed to be asian? ...seriously? *never would have guessed* But the outfit is amazing and the bird is cute, and I like his expression.

I don't have a problem with canon, non-canon, straight, gay or any other of that nonsense. I have a problem with incest but as long as it isn't real life & it is drawn well I will pretend that they're not related for the sake of a job well done. Love wins
