Nice very touching. Great piece of art.

Thank you :3

No prob i know good art when i see it. I hope you keep making great art >3

this is absolutely beautiful... im really at a loss for words... made me think of so many loved ones ive lost.

It's rough :(

I feel like there is almost too much negative space in this piece. Like maybe it needs to be cropped more. That being said I love the wolf's emotion and the sunset- symbol of the end.

The imbalance in negative space was intentional. I wanted the gravestone to be this terrible void, consuming the bereft and the image.

Wish I could "like" this comment

I understand now. Thank you :}

the negative space is what makes this such a strong piece

Whoops, I meant to add: that's not to say you aren't right. I may end up cropping in matting. I'll have to stare at it for a while.

Try NOT staring at it... don't even look at it for 7 days straight. THEN after the break period you look at it and all the pieces that need to be changed you will see.

ha ha ok. That's what I'll do :F I don't have time to stare at it day after day anyway!

Stunning and moving. Excellent work.

thanks :3

Hmm you may have to explain to me the connection you made.

Oh man this is so sad :< Beautiful and heart-wrenching work

Thank you. I.... I fought with this stupid bastard for so long ha ha. From the planning stage, where I re-compositioned a million times, to painting. But I think in the end I'm happy with what it is.

This is gorgeous. o_o Wonderful composition!

Thank you :3

p.s. I love your artwork!

XO HIBBARY!!!!!

Honestly, this gives me the chills and the weeps. I'll have to make a bid on it.

ha, I've never heard 'the weeps' before. I like it.

It looks MUCH better in person.

:D Can't wait to see it then!

Oh I remember how you said you would do love pieces that deviate from the norm, this is beautiful, poignant and perfectly captured. Great work.

I've currently got maybe... four or five planned. I'll be starting number 2 tomorrow.

Speechless.

A lovely piece of art, and yes, though love is a beautiful thing it can also be the most painful.

I'm going to be like that in a few hours...in that sorta state.

I lost my wife to breast cancer 2 1/2 years ago. This picture touched me deeply...Luckily I have just found some one new...

This is both eerie and very beautiful. The emotions it brings forth make this peice very one of a kind. I love the though behind this. The loss of a lover is portrayed excellently here. You did an awesome job on the peice!

Got really overwhelmed with sadness when I saw this piece, but in a good way (almost like a therapeutic crying). Lovely colors and emotion.

Wow, this is really powerful..the emotion here is perfect.

This is a really beautiful and emotional piece of art.

Beautiful piece! Not only is it gorgeously drawn, but the meaning behind the picture clearly transcends towards the viewer. One of the best pieces I've seen on FA in a while

so emotive.

A powerful and moving piece!

Beautiful... could totally feel the emotion~ love the color tone you used.

This conveys the pain of losing a loved one very poignantly. :c Gorgeous work.

Very emotive work. Love all the subtleties you put into the facial expression.

Very wonderful take on the theme. You can really feel all the emotion, all the memories, both good and bad. You always bring such a high level of excellence to your work. You never do disappoint.

You are my favorite artist and I was thrilled to hear you'd be a GOH at FWA this year. I met you last year in Dealer's Den and couldn't stop rambling like an idiot, haha. I hope to see lots of your art there this year, and will definitely attend any panels you may do! Hope it all goes well for you. <3

ow my heart

Beautiful piece :'(

My feels. . .
It's a beautiful piece, though.

awww.... tat's... juste...... wonderful....

I reminds me of my first love ... He is a 19 years old .... sucider I also reminds me of my grandfather, and a friend who went too sounds too early .... Truly a beautiful design ... : '(

Oh my... that was well-done. And yes, losing some you care about can be difficult.

Thanks for sharing this.

*sniffles* Too well done, Hibbary. *looks away*

Beautiful shading and mood. Those tears look so real. Poor wolf.

really great...

very emotional. beautiful piece of artwork, i love it

This literately put a lump in my throat and burning tears to my eye...
Your expression of emotion is phenomenal, thank you for this wonderful piece.

Absolutely beautiful.

Wonderful. And very touching. Lots of emotion.

This reminds me of my favorite comic and a bit of one of my favorite books. I feel like I need to reread them now... Wonderful series, I just looked through all of them.

OOoooh excellent interpretation of the theme there. That should really stand out.

I don't even have words for this. I have a few tears, though. you can has them :c

A ógánaigh an chúil chraobhaigh, cad é ‘n taobh dinn ar a mbíonn tú?
Ar phósais-se féinig nó an ndéanfair arís é?
Do phósas, a lao ghil, is ní dhéanfad é choíche.
Cé hí tú am’ éileamh nó an aon bhean don tír thú?

Ná aithníonn tú mé féinig a lao ghil mo chroí ‘stigh,
An cailín ciúin tréitheach bhíodh taobh leat san oíche?
Ní aithním thú aon chor mar nach bhfuil aon phioc dá gnaoi ort.
Mar sin a mhill an chré me, dath na gréine is na gaoithe.

Fógraím croí cráite ort Cháit Bhán is tú marbh.
Do fuairis-se bás uaim le ráithe agus tuilleadh.
Fuairis, a ghrá ghil agus níor sháraís an cumann
Is thugais barr breáthacht leat ó mhnáibh bhreátha an tsaoil.

Nuair sílid mo mhuintir gur im’ luí bím ar mo leabaig
Ar do thuama ‘sea bhímse ó oíche go maidin.
Síor-insinn mo scéil duit is a’ géarghol fé mhairg,
A’ triall ar t’annsacht go meallfainn liom thú abhaile.
