Description When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try... to fix you.


~ ColdPlay, Fix You

(song playing while I drew this: [link] )

A scene from the graphic novel Guardians with Kotu and Akeli. The scene is about Kotu's struggle with his own powers and how they have threatened to consume him on some level. Akeli stays to help him, even though he tells her to go.


Flame brushes used, the rest with regular
round hard brushes and airbrushes.

...That is epically amazing!
The picture itself is visually striking... to the extent that I couldn't ignore the thumbnail while brosing through your gallery.
...On a different note... I am rather confuzzled by the description... Has this scene happened in the comic yet? I don't remember it

I love this art, and am looking forward to this scene in the comic when you continue it. I like the idea of Kotu struggling with his powers, and wonder how hard it's going to be for him to overcome those difficulties.

Is Guardians finished? Is it for sale/going to be for sale? I'd buy it if it ever is. I've read what's in the Guardians section so far and I really like it

This is very emotional <3 Kotu looks close to a meltdown. Can't wait to actually see it in the comic though that's probably not gonna be for a long time ;_;

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth...

That's one of my favourite songs. The meaning: WONDERFUL
Great song with a gorgeous picture β™₯

Awww, so sweet.
That song always upsets me a little bit... it implies that there is something wrong with you, because you are feeling negative emotions. I dunno. As someone who struggles with internalising everything negative, I don't like it.
But certainly, the message is good, and your art is always wonderful.
