Description Time is distance is time.

They say it heals all wounds, and given enough of it I suppose that's true. In the end there's forgiving, or forgetting, or simply not caring anymore. But before any of those destinations, there's a limbo--and no company through it except the vindictive predatory bird trying to convince you that maybe to forgive always means to pass judgment in some measure.

They don't say anything about that bitter stretch: the point in time where the view is both objective and tinged red. Far enough to feel cold, but not far enough to feel safe.

A reboot of this.

Woah, such a reboot!

The way all the fabric and hair and stuff flows is really nice... The composition in this one is nice in general, really. And the colors definitely reflect the mood you seem to be going for.

SomethingFerocious [2010-07-14 23:17:28 +0000 UTC]

You have made another gem. The piece in itself is intriguing, but without the description I don't think I would have seen everything in it there is to be seen. A little paragraph that means so much and an image to bring it to life rarely compliment each other so well as this combination does. Thank you, as always! <3

Wow, thank you. ;o; Yeah, I think it's part of the reason I do comics: can't quite be articulate in either words or image alone. Really glad if they've managed to unify here!

Okay, you seriously have to stop being so grown up sometimes. (I always forget your 5 years younger than I am)

Niko2x4 In reply to blueLudebar [2010-07-14 20:25:24 +0000 UTC]

I think that's exactly what being grown up is.

That, and having to balance being oh so adult with being a big kid at heart.

Aw, thank you. It was weird not coloring in everything as usual, but it had to be left alone and I'm glad it works.
