I love it so much.

Apart from the first one, I'd call it "modern art"

That last picture, I firmly believe, perfectly sums up the entire personality and character that is Cicero. I also love her other works, including: [t]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/024/5/3/Smoothskin____by_Esuerc.jpg[/t] [t]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2009/363/4/e/Master_of_Fear_by_Esuerc.jpg[/t] [t]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs51/i/2009/315/1/9/You__re_Mine_by_Esuerc.jpg[/t] Her deviantart is here, I really suggest watching her: [url]http://esuerc.deviantart.com/[/url]

The girl whose OC she drew next to Cicero draws him too, just... [url=http://ayleid.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/d4lvqsa]naked in a bed of nightshade flowers.[/url] I was pretty scarred after that. :v:
