Description After the death of the talented actor Brian Murray, who brought our dear John Silver to life with his voice, this image kept coming to my head.  So I quickly drew it out and colored it in under a few hours today.

I was just thinking of when a couple is in mourning or grief of a lost one.  I think I saw this in a movie or show, I can't remember, but I found it touching.  They just lie together in bed, not saying a word, nor moving a muscle.  Just listening to the beating of each others broken heart and breathing.  He would simply stroke her hair and let the time just pass by.  They don't even answer a phone or anything.  They just lie there in bed not saying anything but thinking and mourning together.

I sort of felt this way the night I heard the bad news of the loss of Brian Murray.  I just laid there in bed with my John Silver plush in my arms and hugged him tightly trying my hardest not to cry because even though Brian Murray is gone, John Silver is still with us.  All Disney characters are immortalized and can never leave our sides. 

This is just a moment to share with all the other fans of John Silver.  This is not a moment that will occur in my story.

Rest in Peace Mr. Murray.  And thank you a million times for giving us one of the greatest Disney characters there ever will be.

I figured we would lose him soon. This makes me so sad. But as usual, gorgeous artwork. I need to catch up on the story and I will very soon.

This is a good way to cope with the loss of someone you didn't know personally, but you felt an emotional level with.

I absolutely love this piece. You've captured Marina's grief- and, by extension, yours- perfectly in her expression and body language. Nicely done.

There's just something the way Brian said that little speech of encouragement about "you got the makings of greatness in you" and "I hope one day I'll be there catching the rays off you sails" that spoke out the loudest to me in that whole movie. It does bring a tear to my eye whenever he says that and the fact that we lost a good actor with a silvery voice. Awesome drawing.

It is indeed very sad. But he's safe now, somewhere beyond the stars... and as you said, the character of Silver will always be alive.

*hugs you and Silver both tight* Grieve as long as you need to, my friend. I know it is very hard.

(This is a very good drawing, by the way... the way Silver's hand lies in Marina's hair, I think, is somehow the most emotion-tugging detail of all....)

I was watching Treasure Planet just about two days before I heard the news, I'm really sorry he's gone. But, I guess he's now among the stars now.

I know how you feel, I when I heard the news I was Shocked and Saddened! Fact I got a tributing piece coming too! And since I have the Same Birthday as Brian Murray I'll make a personal special piece for then too!

And as my Mom and I say and agree upon, it's one of the most Amazing things about ALL Kinds of Movies Live action and Animated Alike, the Actors and actresses in them are Forever Recorded and their Voices are Forever Preserved!

And for all of Us Disney Fans Who Love Treasure Planet, He'll Always be around as John Silver!

Yes.  I just hope no one will be posting something like Jim Hawkins mourning for the passing of John Silver.  That'll be too sad for me or any of us Silver fans to handle.
