Description PLEASE FULL VIEW!! It looks so much better up close...

Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from the "Twilight" saga by Stephenie Meyer. Simply the most amazing books ever!

Here's Edward, a vampire, listening to his soulmate Bellas' heartbeat....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His face drifted to the side, his nose skimming across my collarbone. He came to rest with the side of his face pressed tenderly against my chest.

Listening to my heart.

---"Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer
--pg. 276, Ch. 13

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(And yes I know this scene takes place in the meadow, and Edward should be sparkling from his exposure to the sun. But honestly I didn't think I could tackle that particular CGI nightmare. I'll work on it and see if I can come up with something cool for future pics though... )

The song for this piece is an instrumental by Nine Inch Nails called "A Warm Place", download here: [link]

It's beautiful and quiet, with a tinge of melancholy to it... just like Edward. ^____^

This is sooo stunning. You've really captured the essence of Edward and Bella here, much more than either of the actors ever managed to do. This is so much better than any stills from the movies. I love this so much. So beautifully brings back what I loved most about the books. Thanks so much for sharing.

I like your drawings very much. Bella is actually bella donna... I mean, beautiful woman (or bella ragazza, 'cause she's a girl rather than woman). Edward's not bad also^^ Anyway, your works are very charming, but I have one little question... can I?
What's so fascinating about this books that half of the world is gone crazy about them? o.O I've read fragments of the Twilight and found absolutely nothing interesting, on the contrary, actually, this discouraged me to buy it... (well, I wouldn't buy it anyway, since I'm VERY short of cash right now and I'm spending my last money for my university's book xD)

ciao!

Wonderfully done!

they both look so peaceful and happy... its a wonderful picture :3 i love that part of the book... *sigh* its sad really, now that all the s who have read this and tasted perfection from Edward, find it hard to get a guy like him... (or at least in my case >.> lol)

I absolutely love how you make Bella's skin glow like that... In a blushing, soft-light sort of way. And how you did the folds where her hand is gripping his shirt. Loveee. And your renditions of the characters are amazing btw!

Mangsney [2008-04-01 20:55:38 +0000 UTC]

Actually, THIS one I have to comment on...

After recently re-reading the meadow scene, I really wanted to draw this particular moment, but in the end I chose the one when he kisses her. And I'm glad I did because I would surely have died of shame after seeing this gem... Despite the sweater/shirt thing, this couldn't be more perfect.

Maybe my favourite piece from you so far
