Justin, the former Captain of the Guard in "The Secret of NIMH", with his new wife Isabella on their wedding day. Done in watercolor and gouache. The song "Believe" from the musical The Scarlet Pimpernel was my inspiration for this one.
Like stepping on the air so blindly
I trust you will be there to find me
Like reaching through the blue
I place my faith in you
I do believe
These tender hearts of ours
May be endlessly naive
But we grow strong if we believe
This fragile world of ours
Spins us off into the storm
Hold on to me and I'll be warm
As roses bend through breeze, unbend me
As the rose bends to the sun
And in the darkness, please defend me
Two in love become as one
As waves lean on the sea, my love come lean on me
I do believe in you
Like stepping on the air so blindly
I trust you will be there to find me
Like reaching through the blue
I place my faith in you
I do believe
These tender hearts of ours
May be endlessly naive
But we grow strong if we believe
This fragile world of ours
Spins us off into the storm
Hold on to me and I'll be warm
As roses bend through breeze, unbend me
As the rose bends to the sun
And in the darkness, please defend me
Two in love become as one
As waves lean on the sea, my love come lean on me
I do believe in you

Glad someone caught that. Yes, it's Isabella from the book--she's all grown up, and after getting over her crush on Justin and moving forward into her adult life, they ended up getting together much later--and she fell genuinely in love with him, and he with her. :)
I never liked the Justin/Brisby pairing much, to be honest. Maybe because Bella gets jealous over the whole thing. X.x Thanks for the lovely comment! I worked hard on that detail--can you tell I'm a fashion/costume nerd?

I always enjoy it when an artist takes extra care making sure their props or environments stand out, for me it's little things like that which can turn art into magic.
Haha, please by all means keep Justin away from Brisby, I'm the one who gets all jealous when people draw her with someone else!
I should mention, I read a fanfic a while ago where Justin and Isabella got married and it reminded me of this picture. Maybe you've read it? It's called "All is fair in love and war".

Thanks for that lovely comment--I like my images to appear as detailed as possible. ;) Plus I'm a bit finicky about making sure EVERYTHING is just right.
So wanna hear something crazy? I WROTE that fic, a million billion gazillion years ago. *headdesk* My first-ever fan fiction.
