Description "I feel so tired, Edward." She whispered, "Like I've been wandering for a thousand years without knowing where or when I would end."
"I know, angel, I've walked the same path. Only now instead of treading blind, we've caught up to one another at last."
She listened to the rumble of his words, so gentle and so known by the time-strewn chambers of her heart.
"I only wonder," she said at last, "if this path that I've been walking has even been my own. How can the journey be so long, when part of me has only just begun?"
"A journey covers many roads, my love. Sometimes... one will take up the footsteps of another, and sometimes they will make their own way. I'm only thankful that this path, whichever, or whomsoever it may be, has led us to share the journey again."
"And to reach the destination together."
"Together."
          
"...Are you afraid?"
"Not anymore."

I've been in a bit of an art rut the last couple of weeks, and I thought that maybe a good way to clear my mind was to look back at my older work. So I re-read some of the stories that I have posted here and ended up getting swept up in my love for the Haunted Mansion once again. Thank god too! Such a wonderful set of characters! And so much delightfully improbable setup! I love it!

It's been a while since I've updated my fanfiction for it, A Dance with the Dead, which is a shame and I apologize if anyone has been waiting for that (you have all my love and hugs if you have ). But after reading through it again today I was inspired to continue. Though, with the current lack of time to write the next chapter, I instead did a quick Sarah/Elizabeth and Edward drawing of a (potential) scene that will/might appear in said chapter.... to hopefully spike your interest in this likely long forgotten story...?

Anyway the quality on this isn't the best, and hasty experiments with lighting is always a gamble, but none the less, I think it's cute and hopefully intriguing..? Yes? Lol Either way I'm just happy to be drawing Sarah/Elizabeth and Edward again.
If I could there would be much more art of them, to attempt to help fill the void of Haunted Mansion fanart

So let me know what you think! And if any of you are still interested in the story, please tell me so as well! Because though I plan to work on it regardless, I know I could produce much better work if I knew there was support for it still

All my love to my fellow foolish mortals  

boxjelly1.deviantart.com/art/R… <-- Here's some more art of Sarah and Master Gracey

 boxjelly1.deviantart.com/art/A… <-- And the link to the first chapter of the story! (If you're interested to read it)

Enjoy!

lol I was just having a very sad yet similar conversation about that. How the sexiest characters are also the creepiest ^^

...... I haven't done this in a while... But Your excellent work here inspires me again..  '' Here at last we share our hearts though lost from living's wonder.. No longer flesh and blood as from mortality we are asunder!....... But still I feel your heart to mine , your words to reach me in the Divine.. To hold you in spirit is just as kind , free of curses we were under!....... Time was our burden to bear apart , but in time , we've come together.. Death is not the end for those in love... when the heart holds on... Forever! '' ........ I use to do what I called ' Tribute Verses ' given to various artworks I discovered here in DA.. I even set up a folder in my favorite gallery to put them together.  But... I sort of lost track of doing them... Thanks for giving me a reason to remember with this inspiring piece!

That was beautiful, and such a cool idea for ways to review art.
Did you write that, or is it quoted from something? Either way it was lovely, and I'm very flattered that you would tribute it to my drawing.
Thank you so much

Your very welcome and I did write that myself , thank you. I have a knack for poetry ( I guess ) though I've done little of it. If I may offer , only in that you might enjoy this in particular.. ( It's one of my lesser known works here in DA ) Perhaps you might like this one poetry / artwork combo of mine... vladen13.deviantart.com/art/Th…

Very nice. I like how you gave it a sort of old-wood-carving look. And the poetry was quite whimsical too. Nicely done
