Description

"No single word in English renders all the shades of ‘toska’. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.” 

—- Vladmir Nabokov

"We came,

by the rising of the river,

on a river with no name,

in the summer monsoon rain,

to wash away luisa's bones,

from the ghost who guards her grave."

Made me think of this beautiful song by the Crooked Fingers

This is as beautiful and as thought-provoking as always dear! You know I love these two, but it still gets me how sad their story was, and how Anzu never truly got to say goodbye OR tell Atem/Yami how she felt.  I love your use of color here, and somehow the sunset makes it even sadder; as if Yami will fade away completely once the light disappears. I've really enjoyed seeing what I would have liked to have seen in the real series in the works you've done!  I definitely look forward to seeing what you come up with next!   Kudos on a job well done!

Thanks! I love how you interpreted this scene. Yeah, being love with a ghost is far from being a peaceful thing...

This picture is really good. I like how Anzu is reaching out to a fading Atem   as if she is afraid to let go of him and his memory.

Don't draw pictures like this, now I really want to write Revolutionshipping fanfictions again. D:

Very beautiful piece of art. I love all the shades of red and those warm sunset colours.
Moreover I like the message behind this picture how Anzu will have to deal with her feelings after Atemu leaves.
It's a very scetchy fanart but it has a deep meaning and feels both poetic and sad.
The way she tries to touch him although he is transparent has some really sad edge to it.

You ought to love their relationship and all the emotions between them. ♥

Yess~ Mission accomplished.  Do it, you know you want to!

Thanks, I'm glad I could convey the angsty feeling.

This is stunning. I love how she's grasping out to a semi-transparent Atem. The way how you've made her hand makes it seem like she's grasping out to the dead, and judging by the angular design and lengthened size of her hands/fingers, it's taking a tole on her. One should not yearn and linger on the dead, and that idea is definitely what she'd need to deal with after Atem leaves.

Love the quote and love the artwork. Both are very poetic with deep meanings.

Heheh, I'm glad I managed to give this a melancholy and angsty feel.

Thanks! I always love to hear people's interpretations on my art - yours is very insightful and well-thought. Letting go of the dead to move on with the flow of life is indeed a painful thing to do, especially when you didn't get the chance to tell them a proper goodbye. Yet, it is a necessary thing - if only because of life's transience.

Hopefully she will get to see Atem again in afterlife.
