Description “My parents danced together, her head on his chest. Both had their eyes closed. They seemed so perfectly content. If you can find someone like that, someone who you can hold and close your eyes to the world with, then you're lucky. Even if it only lasts for a minute or a day. The image of them gently swaying to the music is how I picture love in my mind even after all these years.”

― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind.

Awww. This is the kind of sketching style I like. Very expressive yet not realistic and definitely not cartoony. Your work her is beautiful.

Thank you very much!
That's what I was aiming for, their love is so beautiful and has such a tragic ending...

I agree. I also like the fact that they seem to be the right age (maybe mid-30s). It's one of those details that you don't normally consider when talking about parents.

I really tried to make them look about the right age, so thank you very much!

This is beautiful. There isn't a lot of art for Kvothe's parents (and sadly there's a plethora of art for Feluria because too many people are obsessed with that kind of thing). I like how your draw them. They look almost exactly how I pictured them in the book.

Thank you very much!
I know what you mean! There's so much art of Felurian that it's hard to believe that she appears in only a few chapters of the 2nd book!
I'm glad that you like my interpretation of them, I wanted to do them and their stories justice.
