Description This is a painting of Joel’s Daughter Sarah from the Sony PlayStation Game The Last of Us.
I have painted the scene where Sarah has just died in her father’s arms, after ironically being shot by the same soldier who’s just saved them. I wanted to show the life leaving her blank eyes and poor Joel with his eyes closed, grieving silently and without care to what’s happening around him.

Photoshop CS5 and Wacom Bamboo
I have put a link showing some stages of the painting

If you could leave a comment, fav it or add me to your Watch list, I would really appreciate it so much

Not a problem, it's absolutely beautiful, despite the very depressing scene chosen

 That was the most heart aching scene, or one of the most heart aching scenes in the game. This drawing looks so realistic, like it came right from the game. Well done, it brought tears to my eyes!

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. If my work can bring about such strong emotions like that, then it was worth ever second painting it. Thank you once again

Pleaz do another drawing like this! It was so amazing. Maybe

like when Joel goes and saves Ellie from the doctors, or the part

where he says to her "It's okay, Baby Girl" Those are two

of my favorite parts <3 Thank you for making such an amazing 

drawing!

That's a great idea, I've wanted to do another one for the game soon anyway so I'll do Joel and Ellie, and will do one of the two scenes that you have mention but do my own take on it. Thanks again

When I originally saw the scene happen in the game I wasn't crying though it felt like something hit my heart.  Later on when he's older and having to take another girl under his protection well it certainly got to one's feelings too.

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. I haven't played the game but somebody requested if I could paint Sarah. I'd watched the dying scene from YouTube and got the references from there (as I didn't know who Sarah was or what Sarah looked liked). The scene was such a sad one and I watch it so many times (it made my 7 year old daughter cry) so I could gets the ideas of how to actually paint the picture and the emotions. I'd closed Joel's eyes to show him grieving, I painted the emptiness in Sarah's eyes to show that she had just died. I used my daughter to model the ears and fingers properly, left out all the jewellery and Joel's watch to make the painting simple so you focus on Sarah. Added shadows where they should be to as in the game, they were missing and made her hair real and added hair on Joel's chest, hands and arms, textures and many other things... to hopefully create a 'real' painting from a computer game. I'm glad you like it and Welcome to DeviantArt. I hope you have a great time here

Whoa ... That's looks very difficult @~@
But, I think it was a screenshot at first ... but when I looked again at Pewdie play this ... It's totally different ....
