The last dream
Bothan slowly awakes, without knowing if she managed to die, or if she survived. She can't tell if it was months ago, or just a single hour after her desesperate try pictured in Returning to him. Is she dead? Is she alived?
The house seems intact, so that can only be her memories, the last reminds of her dying body before the eternal sleep, the last sorrow of a vixen for a far past.
But everything seems so real... Ant that parfume...
Fox. He's here. She knows that. She can hear her footsteps near to the room. He's coming.
Does her memory play another painful trick to her? Does her sorrows torture her again? She was deceived so many times those last months, and she so fears that's just another disappointement...
The heart beating so hard in her chest, she's waiting.
Please. Please, make my wish true, even if that's just my last dream...
The Other Side : <<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>
The very first moment of Cursed III, The other side pictures the awakenning of our heroine Bothan. At that point, it's impossible to know if she's alive or close to be dead, like the very last thought she could have before to cross the Styx.
It's something I'm quite pleased with. A blue kraft paper, with white pencil.
It has that feeling I desesperately tried to give months ago, the second of doubt, that second when you hope so much that you're fearing the worst issue. A single second later, you would certainly see an uncontrolled tear with the same face...

Arf ! J'avais pas posté sur la version précédente, mais tant pis, j'me rattrape sur celle-là (encore plus jolie avec les yeux en couleur !^^)
Elle a l"air si triste que j'ai envie de bondir sur le lit pour essayer de lui redonner le sourire... Va-t-elle retrouver un jour son amoureux ?

Peut-être va t'elle le retrouver une simple seconde après? C'est cette attente, la crainte d'une énième déception, du coup de grâce, qui la tiraille. Elle est tant fatiguée d'attendre, tant meurtrie par ces déceptions à répétition...
Mais - va pour le spoiler - elle va bien le retrouver. Dans une simple seconde.

My oh my you should be pleased with yourself on this one. This is another one of your pieces that comes out looking beautiful with out trying to be pretty. Again though to, you capture her expressions: tiered, confused, lost, hopelessly and lovingly searching, and her sadness: effortlessly. Well, probably not effortlessly. I'm sure you worked your ass off to capture that look for her.
For some reason, those eyes stick out in this piece. Maybe it's toe coloring, maybe it's just the way they look, but they shine like diamonds in the rough. Also just how thin she is. Is that from her starving herself, or is she always like that?
Well, on top of how well it is portrayed, the coloring job with your media makes this one even more wonderful. Great choice for the paper and coloring. You have excellent control of your work still. Bravo my friend, bravo.
PS. Insta-Fav!

About the thin's question. I always picture her as thin as she is. She's close to normal, but I admit she's a bit thin according to standart bodies, and some will say that she just looks like my thin body XD
For the eyes, it may be due to the metallic inks I used, or the way I pictured them. Some say that she now has sort of a link with the life with that look, with that strenght in her eyes, and so regret the empty eyes she had in the previous version... It's all about opinion I suppose, and that's one reason I feared to make a mistake and so to submit the previous version ^^

Il y a de ca, renforcer le contraste comme la luminosité/ombres. Faire une véritable transition et le passage d'un état vers un autre. Quelque part je voulais rendre les brumes du Styx, mais ca c'est pour un autre dessin déjà en brainstorming avancé ^^
Je craignais surtout de foirer le côté éthéré de l'expression en appuyant les ombrages des cheveux, ainsi que de rajouter cette touche de rouge qui la rattache à la vie.
J'ai une très belle théorie à ce sujet, je la soumettrai très prochainement =)
