Artist's Comments

I did this entire picture last night, in about two hours. I'm not sure if that means I'm fast, impatient, or manic.

It's based around a plotbunny that hopped into my head yesterday, involving how Jak came to be capable of speech. I'm working on the fic for it, but it's slow in coming and I'm certain it's going to be fairly short. It's also very depressing, and more than a little painful. I write too much violence, methinks. :O_o:

Anyway! Our lovely Jak, probably about a year or so into his captivity at the hands of Baron Praxis. So far they've tried a number of methods for channeling Dark Eco into him, and right now they're trying an IV. I had great fun designing the machine it all hooks into--a mix between Precursor and modern technology, because the Precursors were the best when it came to containing Dark Eco.

...I hope the actual fic will explain it better.

Again, I think I almost killed myself on the background. But I did do a complete background, so it's all good. Also I'm very happy with how his hair came out--I was a little wary about getting the green in there, but I think it came out pretty well. Does it look okay? They all have such weird hair...

Drawn with Prismacolor markers and pencils on heavy-weight sketch paper.

I'm really interested in this story, but for some reason Livejournal always slows down my computer. Is it up anywhere else?

Faeries away! Fetch me that flower.
Up and down and up and down,
I will lead them abandon.

It's also posted on fanfiction.net! I prefer LJ 'cause it's where I have the most connections, but most of my stuff is crossposted. :)

I want a fanclub. Or maybe just a fan and a club to beat people into submission with. Yeah...

I actually went looking for it and already read it. It was really enjoyable; I didn't leave a review because I couldn't think of what to say other than I enjoyed it.

That's cool. =) I like the IV...but don't they shoot it into him by a machine? What's the thing behind him? Is it something for food?
:iconcopycat217:
god, I read the whole story on fanfiction. and it made me cry. That, never happens with me, untill now. You win first prize. Your artistic talent with writing is phenominal, along with your drawing skills. You are awesome.

Lizzie:Yaoi senses tingling...
Alyx:no wonder, Sora and riku are swimming
Riku: Sora, that girl won't give me back my shirt unless i make out with you...and she has a camera.
Lizzie: *holds shirt in one hand, camera in another and a huge grin*
:iconpytera:
The picture is good. as for how Jak learned to talk when his purity was broken he was given the ability to speak.
Just think of a nun. They are forbidden to talk because they are trying to become pure and if u want to be pure u are not allowd to speak.
Same with angels beautiful, pure and mute.
:iconspardakitten:
AHHHHHHH!!!! I have read your story. Love it! And I love this picture! His face is like "I know I should be happy to be able to speak but how can I when the only reason they did it was to hear me scream?" Very expressive. *Save pic to faves*

Keep it up!

I adore this fanart and your fanfiction that goes with it. I just got back into the Jak and Dax series and this just lit the spark to help it along. Great job. ^__^ <3

His hair is lovely.

I would BEG for this fanfic! Shall I beg? (Gets on knees and begs)

There are a couple of niggly things... the IV didn't seem very secured. Even when you're in a hospital and not a mad-scientist-prison, they generally strap those things in pretty securely so you dont accidentally jolt it, catch it on something or rip it out.
Also, they gave him a BED! With a pillow and blanket! And they left the eco (which is an ouch substance) sitting happily within reach? If I were Jak, it'd be smashed on the floor and the IV in the nearest person's neck.

All that aside, however.. there were several small touches I thought were fantastic.

The precursor-style container and rod was great! I would never think of something like that!
The green roots of his hair was excellently done, it looked good and many people forget it.
The hand that was injected had claws! Whilst the other didn't! A very nice touch!

I'm curious as to what the purple smudges are. Bruises from being hit/straining against restraints or eco simply tainting the skin here and there?

It's called voice, and you've done a bang-up job of getting him holding his throat and looking confused/pained/thoughtful... But I'm curious as to back story. Did he regain his voice due to the screaming? Is he holding his raw throat wondering how he made those sounds? Or was it the Eco?

It's unexplained if he never spoke through physical inability, mental inability or simply through his own choice.
