Description
The hero of the Vinland Saga, Thorfinn loses his reason for living. I thought the depth of his despair was captured perfectly in his expression. The man he spent the past ten years trying to kill was killed by another man and he has nothing to live for anymore.I think his eyes are my favorite part of this. I used three different shades of brown, and I think it came out wonderfully.
Scan is from Chapter 54 of the Vinland Saga.

I thought this scene showed Thorfinn at his most human. Thorfinn hated Askeladd but once he witnesses Askeladd's death Thorfinn realises that this man he hated is somehow important to him. The very man who killed his father. Who he wished to kill. He must now watch die at the hands of another. But instead of relief he is filled with pain and emptiness. At first Thorfinn believes this is because he has been denied the revenge he sort for years. Thorfinn survived those years because of his hate for Askeladd. And now that the source of his hate and revenge are gone he has nothing. But it is also more than that. Thorfinn has now spent the majority of his life following Askeladd and because of this Askeladd has unintentionally played a pivotal role in Thorfinn's upbringing. So it in no wonder that Thorfinn struggles to understand his own emotions at the death of this man who killed his father. Thorfinn is reliving what was done to him years ago by Askeladd. He is witnessing the death of his Father for a second time. And like before he is powerless to stop it.

Damn, that was one of the few parts I was shocked by this manga... (the first one being seeing an amused Thorfinn)

Wow, I love how you've coloured this. I read this part again today, and thought perhaps Askeladd replaced Thors as a father-figure, and with his death it's like Thorfinn is losing his father all over again. It makes me sad :S

I remember this image. Thorfinn was so touching here.
And even more than losing his reason to live, I think he realised he was truly attached to Askeladd.

I gotta admit that I got a little teared up at this point. /I/ was attached to Askeladd!
Hopefully Thorfinn will snap out of his little depressing I-don't-want-to-live state soon.

Yeah, it's time fro Thorfinn to wake up from his dull life.
