Description
The end faceoff atop the cornucopia, right before Katniss shoots Cato in the hand to free Peeta.I think this piece is my new favorite. I really love how Cato came out. I haven't been too consist in his design the last 3 times I drew him. But THIS version is the closest to my vision.
Also, this piece marks the first appearance of color in my Hunger Games art. I bought a red marker. ^_^

I think It's cruel in the book how Katniss and Peeta sit there, like 8 fudging hours, waiting for Cato to die?

It is cruel, but I don't think Katniss or Peeta did it in any way to purposefully let Cato suffer all that time.
I think neither Katniss nor Peeta wanted to be personally responsible for Cato's death. They weren't in the games to kill, so it never struck them as something to do now.
They waited in hopes that the mutts would quickly finish Cato off, so that they wouldn't have to. Katniss wasn't "waiting for Cato to die" she was "waiting for the canon to go off." Which would signify Cato's death, but I think she couldn't think about it that way.
The hours that pass, I think, is how long it took Katniss, not only to accept that she would have to kill Cato at all, but also to gain the resolve to mercifully kill Cato and end his suffering.
Before this point her only kills were reactionary. She let loose the tracker jackers to help herself escape. It never occurred to her that other tributes could/would die. She killed Marvel because he stabbed Rue. No thinking was involved. It was all instinct.
Cato's death is the first one in which she decides to kill and acts on it. She never had to do that at any point in the games before this.

True...
I figure that I have too much Cato fangirldom?
And I guess that she could've just left Cato for gosh knows how long before he died...
