Cynic is an asshole, but he's also pretty charming, in a pretty forceful way. But he won't rape or anything.
There's a funny story behind it at CoE. Cynic invites Miki to go out and hang out. He has like the biggests hots for her, so he's going all out trying to get her to like him. They have dinner, they see a movie, and now this happens.
Eventually Cynic's gonna walk her home, and punched out the light box with lights up all the street lights. It's pitch black, and nothing can see them. So he decides to mess with her a little, like get into her personal space and junk. Not really harassing her.
That's why it's really dark there, and the background is half-assed. So yeah.
In the end, he steals a kiss from Miki and leaves. I think Koji and I agreed to it.
I like the art itself, but I have one question on the content:
How is deciding to mess with someone by getting into their personal space when they're half the size and it's dark not harassing someone? He looks like the typical predator, and she looks like the typical infantilized helpless female that is somehow supposed to be appealing. It's such a prevalent theme.
Not hating on you, just curious as to why there are so many messages that seem to make it okay for young women to be harassed by "charming" men. I wish there were more powerful female characters out there, though I gather from the mention of "Kat" above, there's at least one involved in this somehow. Sigh.

Second, Cynic doesn't rape. And by harassing, maybe I "mis-typed" something. But over all Cynic doesn't rape, he's just some "player".. whore.. person.... I don't know know how to word it but like, he'd tap any girl. Although, he'd love to tap Miki, ever so much, he never does, and they just end up being friends.
Charming. I meant that he's charismic. He's a nice guy to talk to, that kind of charming. Sure, he gets a little to close for comfort but, it just means he really likes you. Lawl, I make him sound like he's a dog or something.
Also finally, these are fictional characters. They'll be fine.
Lawwwl, Cynic's a predator, even though Cynic's a tall (6'5") 16 year old guy (He's actually 60, but he's immortal, but still has a mind and body of a 16 year old)... And Miki is a year older than him, if you don't count Cynic being 60.
Maybe it is sexual harrassment. And trust me, there are alot of powerful female characters, you're probably looking at the wrong place, like this pic.
Miki is a kind, outgoing girl. Not really liking to make fights or anything. I also think she's quite passive, but she's not my character, so I have no rights to state her personality. But I know she's a "nice" girl.
Yeah, big pervy guys with sweet girls is so cliche, but everyone loves it. Besides, it's not what the artists like anymore, it's what the people like. Sadly, people like this.
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
