"Jackyln" by Samael Howard

It was like rape, Jackln muttered to herself, watching a fickle moon rise through the smog and collective social hate. He had left hours before, smashing his smoldering cigar into her couch to make a point. She stared at it now and saw it as a period. An ending.
She realized that she was shaking. Loathe was brewing; old as Cain and as bitter.
Horns and sirens blared outside her window; a symphony which shredded ear drums. She craved pain killers; anything to dull the edge of her mounting headache.
The smell of him lingered still in the tiny apartment, a mix of cheap musk and dog.
That's what he is, she decided, looking out over the city scape once more; the bloodied landscape of lights and waste. He' a dog. A dirty, filthy...
That's when she felt the blood.
It trickled from her tender places, her abused secrets.
Screaming was not enough.
Later, she wondering if blood was a metaphore.


A bit of inspired writing...whether or not it fits your idea, I don't know, but I enjoyed this piece alot...her depth was chilling.

Samael Howard replies: "It's an honor to have received your post. If only it's subject was worthy of it. When Jackylyn was given reign over Satan's forces through an arranged marriage with his son, she was only too happy to accept. (Katheryne was supposed to be his bride before she escaped hell. Jackylyn was her replacement.) Unfortunately her husband saw her as representing everything he hated about the woman who raised him to hate and so he abused her the same way he had been abused. Jackylyn, instead of standing up for herself, turned all of her hatred onto the woman he really desired. A young cat-mouse warrior named Mariah, whose destiny it was to slay him. One day Jackylyn followed her home into the secret caves beneath the midnight sands of the silent lands. There she killed Mariah's husband, so that she would know the pain of having her loved one taken from her...She barely escaped with her life, and when she told the man she loved that his love was free to marry him, he killed her.Shortly after, he and Mariah both died by each other's sword...Still, your story well represents what she could have been, and should have been. Maybe if I find the time, I'll give her another chance in another world. Thank you for having taken the time to share those thoughts, they've forced me to look deeper into a character I was neglecting..."

Very dark and cool. Nice "goth" feel too it. I like the makeup and the tilted head. Maybe it reminds me of Darryl Hannah in Blade Runner a bit (the makeup, I mean). Kinda Manga crosses with H.R. Giger style? Nice shading of her armor style suit. Does she have four arms?
Good crop again. Very interesting image. This would make a great large painting if youre into that (If youre not - try it immediately!!! Thats an order!!!).

Beautiful, in a vaguely disturbing way. I approve.

An artwork is supposed to be enjoyable to look at and makes the seer impressed. This piece is unbearable to cast one's eyes on. Good job with the details, but its not very nice to look at.

U scare the f-----g crap outa me

I dont see how people can just sit and say some of the most hateful things about others artwork when they dont have the slightest clue whats its like to be in the position of the artist. If this is his way of expressing himself, then so be it. Leave him to his work.

A message to all thinking of saying anything out of place about this Artwork. Just dont...
