"Hold your scars, hold your scars
Cast a soul in my direction
Feel your noise, feel your noise
This pain is alive proof
Falling down, falling down
Let me steal you for my life time..."

Alrighty then. Explanation time.

This is my entry for BabyD's challenge, Take Your Shirt Off. The first thing to come to any sane person's mind when they see a title like that would most likely be a half naked boy or girl, right? Well, these two certainly are shirtless, as required. Actually, they're completely naked in the full CG but that's for another time. I decided to be a little creative with the challenge and depict something a lot more sinister. For anyone who has played DRAMAtical Murder, they would know that Nitro+CHiRAL tends to try to cater to different fetishes for every type of fujoshi and fudanshi. This CG is just one of many of those kinks: beat up and bloodied characters. Noiz's bad end truly is, at least to me, a sad/depressing conclusion for the particular path, yet at the same time I will admit to totally enjoying the image in all its blood-bathed glory. Yeah, I'm one of those types. Not to mention that I adore Aoba no matter how messed up the story happens to be.

It's probably not what you wanted (or expected) at all, BabyD. Q u Q; I'm sorry! OTL I hope it's still okay to throw into the contest though. ; o ;
