BeautifulDon't let those liars tell you you're not beautiful
The words may come, but shut your ears and sing
Every inch of you was made with a reason
Every inch exquisite by design

Don't let those pictures tell you you're not thin enough
Don't be a slave to magazines and shame
No two snowflakes are the same
But every one looks perfect in the air

You were made with a purpose in mind
You're not a slab of driftwood floating aimlessly
There's a course for you, so set sail
Embrace a new horizon

Smash the mirror, live your dreams and shout!
Too many precious breaths are wasted thinking we're unworthy.
Open up the prison of your own mind and fe

USMC-- What Goes Around There once was a Marine who stood at his post every day. He had a thousand-mile stare that seemed to look past all the people who went by as if they weren't even there. He stood straight and tall like a statue, and the only way you could tell he was alive some days was if he blinked his eyes or furrowed his brow when the sun got too bright.

There once was a little boy who lived in a poor neighborhood. Every day he would walk to school and on his way he would get a glimpse of the Marine on duty. His wide eyes would take in the brass buttons, the red stripes, the stern expression, and he would often sit in class wondering what sort of person

Don't Cut Yourself It wasn't Emile's style to feel regret. He rarely entertained the emotion because he never really had reason to; regret came from attachment, and attachment was something he just didn't do. He knew his role, his objective, and the shotgun in his hands. That was all he cared about, or so he liked to tell himself.

He sat hunched like a brooding predator in one far corner of the fallout shelter, as nervous civvies cried and whimpered and comforted each other in the shadows. There was little light, just the hazy flicker of a few self-sustaining panels, but Emile could see just fine through the twin holes that made up the eyes of the skull on h

In the RainI am small and frail
Mortal and impure
What have I to give
But a heart that's unsure

Convinced of my solutions
I fall onto my face
What can I do but crawl
Helplessly to Your grace

My motives they are mighty
My spirit, it is weak
I bend inside my compromises
Wince at what I speak

I want to be a soldier
I want to do my best
Without you I am worthless
I cannot pass this test

So give these fumbling hands
The skill that they will need
And give this troubled heart
The courage to believe

So many are so broken
So few will heed the call
If it's Your will I shall live
And by Your will I shall fall

This world is full of anger

Spartan Heritage-- Rebekaby ~LadyLaconia

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Games

A teaser for some upcoming stories about one of my favorite OCs, Rebeka Juhasz. Older, tougher, and obviously a Spartan. Her hair might change. And I know her figure is way off; I had no reference for it

Her boots are super-thick because she's an EOD. Needs uber plating to protect against potential blasts while she's disarming Innie bombs and all that.

And we all know whose dog tags those are.

~Rookie425 Mar 31, 2011

Thank you! I was really hoping for her to show up again.

~LadyLaconia Mar 31, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

She'll be making more appearances, both in art and literature, I promise

~Rookie425 Mar 31, 2011

^_^ *Kermit Jazzhands* Yaaaaay!

Quick question; is that whole forearm a permanent prosthetic or is the gauntlet placed over it?

~LadyLaconia Mar 31, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I've decided that there is no mechanical arm, and it's just a regular gauntlet

~Rookie425 Apr 1, 2011

Oh I gotcha. I was under the impression that she had a prosthetic from the suicide bomber at Reach's memorial.

We could always say it grew back!

~LadyLaconia Apr 1, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

The only thing she lost due to the suicide bomber was her right eye... though I may add in a robotic prosthetic arm, since she's an EOD and handles bombs and all.

~GalacticGhidorah Mar 30, 2011

She looks great, and I find showing her back to be more dramatic. If there is one thing I learned about seeing the backside of a character first, it means something very serious is about to happen, or something scary if you are talking about horror movies, but I think the "something very serious is about to happen" route is more likely to happen.

~LadyLaconia Mar 30, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Really? Thanks!

Oh yes, very srs.

~Tuckerscreator Mar 30, 2011

How rude for her to keep her back to the audience!

By the way, regarding the mechanical eye she gest, you may want to note that scientists, while still working on how to connect the camera to the brain, are perfectly capable of making fake eyes that look like real ones. So if you do end up drawing her face, you might still have the wire and scarring like on here: [link] , but scientifically her new eye should look mostly the same.

~LadyLaconia Mar 30, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Yeah, the eye problem was the main reason why she's not facing forward. I still haven't decided what it'll look like. It won't have a wire like Black-One's, I think it'll just be a normal-looking eye, but the iris and pupils form a targeting reticule when she's in combat. It syncs to her MJOLNIR Mk VII when her neural interface is "plugged in."
