Loveless DJ - Crawling p1

WARNING: IF YOU HAVE NOT READ PAST BOOK FOUR OF LOVELESS, OR HAVE ONLY SEEN THE ANIME, THIS COULD POTENTIALLY GET SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS. KAY THANKS.

200th deviation, first deviation of 2006, first "official" collab with my fiancee and first decent-looking doujinshi I've spawned in liek evur? Can we say party?!

So this reads from right to left, Japanese format, as it's in Japanese--and unsurprisingly, my Japanese is fail, although I'm incredibly proud that I got it in there in the first place! Yee! @_@

So then. This was for the <[link] Evolution battle on Livejournal (spawned from the Butterfly Unfolding Loveless community)--We had to spawn either a fic or an art piece based on the Hoobastank lyrics "Crawling in the Dark," and our team, NEEDLESS, put this out!

I did the main sketch and inking, Loki designed Soubi and Ritsuka's outfit and toned it, and I did the text. Unfortunately, my beloved Sacrifice got rushed to death in the toning because I didn't get it to her in nearly enough time, and it stressed her out. ;w; But she did such an amazing job~!

Initially, I had a bunch more of these pages planned, but there's no way in hell I'm going to spawn them and force Loki to tone them anytime soon. I think it stands alone pretty well. And now, the script in Romanji and English!
