*K-CLICK* Now, doesn't that just torque your jaws? I love that. You know like in the movies, just as the good guy is about to kill the bad guy, he cocks his gun. Now why didn't he have it cocked? Because that sound is scary. It's cool, isn't it? - The Caller, Phone Booth![]()

"I imagine our picture as taking place just a split-second before Tessa's original "Strict Machine"; in that brief instant Abner might take to enjoy his handiwork, just before he takes proper aim and makes his presence known with that entirely unnecessary - but deeply satisfying - click." - *NarandaMyself as Conrad Achenleck
Naranda as Abner's crotch
Tryster as the Cosplay Ninja MacGyver
Photos and cosplays seem to be looked down on too much in the art world, but from reading your journal I can tell you put a lot of effort and heart into this.
There are, indeed, a lot of terrible cosplays out there, but your's is far from 'terrible'. I wouldn't even consider it bad. At all.
The use of lighting is genius, it must have taken a ton of patience to get this shot. The attention to detail blows my mind- from Conrad's outfit to Abner's. You even managed to get Abner's freaking belt buckle in there!
Oh, and I just adjusted the brightness on my screen so now I can see the fang marks in Conrad's neck. Plus ten awesome points.
The only thing I would suggest is that next time (if there even will be a next time. There totally should, though. ) you should hold the gun in a more natural position. As creepy and as 'I-could-be-a-psycho' this is going to sound, holding a gun like that to someone's head wouldn't exactly work. If someone wanted to get up and run, it would most likely hit them in the shoulder/neck area instead of a clean killshot- the head. Which is probably more in Abner's 'style'. Ha ha. And anyone like Abner would know that holding a gun with your wrist like that would hurt your whole damn arm from the recoil. Plus, it doesn't look quite as threatening.
I know this is a critique but I still think I sound like an ass. My bad.
To end this nerd rambling I would like to jump the bandwagon and comment on how amazing Abner's crotch is.
