"He didn't feel anything when Izaya tried to kick him in his stomach. It only made the flea drag his back slowly up towards the broken screens. Right up to where Shizuo saw his own face in the recording. Splintered thicker than the strands of a spider's web was his own enraged expression.

There was blood all across his cheek. A second later he realized it came from the screen. He really did look like a killer. Like everyone else on this island. He deserved to be here. He was something cruel, ugly, and loathsome."

observe!! i commissioned the lovely @rosa-maltz to draw that scene from a cheap imitation by @spoontasti, because the imagery bangs and i just had to have it actualised in their style,,, if you've yet to see either of their work before now go check it out it's as awesome as it looks.

#durarara #shizuo heiwajima #izaya orihara #shizaya #a cheap imitation #commission #i made a thing #adding this to my tag even though i didn't draw it but i had a big hand in it so i want to have it there #playing director to this was a fun experience #i had a very particular vision in mind for this but rosa was super accommodating to all my specifications #10/10 great to work with #her lighting and expressions are just +++#sorry for potentially spoiling it for anyone who hasn't read it though if you haven't here's your nudge to do so!#alright so just a few behind the scenes things in case anyone's interested #a few more minor spoilers ahead though #i actually read the fic and therefore this scene before having watched the anime #this is just how i am don't worry about it #so i didn't know it was based on that ketsu fight at the time #i'm not sure how it was for most people but this was pretty much exactly what i imagined #shizuo looking up at izaya framed by all the violence and his own expression staring back down at him #minus the artistic flare of the tilted composition and certain logistics that rosa manifested for me #midway through the process i suddenly remembered the blood on the monitor over shizuo's face!!#and then i also suggested the sudden whim to have a view of the starry night in one of the monitors heheh #if you know you know #and rosa did them ahh i really love how they all turned out #seriously can't thank her enough for dealing with all the small details i wanted to get just right #so yeah here's my sorta indirect contribution to the fandom and this fic again hsdgshhd #i keep thinking i want to draw more of the scenes i love from the fic myself #it won't look as cool as this but you can't go wrong with more aci #and that concludes my tag rambling of the month see ya next time
