Fear Me Love Me Do as I Say

...and I will be your slave.

Once upon a time, my father told me a story. He told me a story about a man who stole children from their cribs, leaving their mothers weep in the morning when they found the cradle empty. He told me a story about man who stole the dreams of those who dreamed of the most brilliant things. He told me a story about a man who was very lonely.

But the man didn't know he was lonely.

The above is a random little blurb I thought up while working on this. As to the character. He is Abaddon, Apollyon, the Boogeyman, the Destroyer, all the evil things of nightmares. He is a sociopathic monster who delights in cruelty.

Honestly, when I set about making him, he was just going to be an angtsy elf-man with two-toned hair.

      lol, I just gave you a link in another reply. Oh well. You found this one just fine!

      God, I love his tattoo. It was a hard little thing to get out, but it's a nice effect.

      The line is actually from the movie Labyrinth, which I have been watching religiously lately. The villain says it.

    I love your title for this. That is one of the greatest lines that Jareth says on Labyrinth. "Fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave." I love that movie. ^^ Well if this guy is the creator of nightmares, he sure is gorgeous. Laughing I really love that tattoo that is running down the side of his face. The detail is very intricate and delicate and doesn't completely overwhelm the picture. And I just adore that background. I for one cannot do backgrounds so I always marvel at what other people can do. Very nice pic, my dear. ^_^

      Thanks muchly for the love!

      Abaddon is actually based loosely off Jareth--I've been watching WAY too much of that movie recently. He wasn't meant to be psycho, but coloring this in between reading Labyrinth fiction... Well, I think it changed him into what he is now.

      The tattoo is definitely my favorite part. It was a pain to make--I think six different layers just for it. It was made with little pieces of about sixteen different brushes and made my eyes crossed, even zoomed in all the way.
