Description
now it's years since your body went flatand even memories of that
are all thick and dull, all gravel and glass
but who needs them now
displaced they're easily more safe
the worst of it now: I can't remember your face.
return
for a while, with the vertigo cured
we were alive we were pure.
the void took the shape of all that you were
but years take their toll
and things get bent into shape
antiseptic and tired, I can't remember your face.
return
you were supposed to grow old
reckless, unfrightened, and old
you were supposed to grow old
return
you were supposed to return
- ok go

Since I'm a great supporter of Asch, and AschxNatalia, this deviation makes my heart hurt *sigh*
Great deviation by the way, I love how you colored this

Cause now I'm going to have to go out and buy the game just because you make them look so sweet. xD

Oh my god...this picture's beautiful! *__* Though this is already a spoiler for me *hasn't played the game yet* who cares? Erm, question, how long did this take you and what program did you use for coloring? *because the coloring's fuckin' awesome-! erm, I apologize for my language...*

I took two days on this... Around ten hours or more, I'm guessing~ I used Photoshop CS2. :3
Thank you very much!

Oh man awesome pic and awesome song *@*
A very powerful image indeed...

*sniffles* So sweet. AschxNatalia is love, but sad, doomed love that I root for despite the whold 'doomed' part. Your right about the song too... I didn't even really like Asch and all his crankiness for most of the game, but... T-T
Bravo on the pic! I imagine that was the look on Natalia's face right as Luke broke the news (and before she freaked out and Jade bitch-slapped her).
