Description I just want to cry...
Not because this picture is sad just when you look at it, but because it is when you know the story behind it.

I have finally decided what it says on his ear tag - as you can see here - and yes, Nikita is a Candian Jew Live with it.
The redheaded tiny guy is Nathaniel Morgan King and belongs to me, while the black haired, darkskinned guy (yes, seriously, guy) is Dominique Naoki and belongs to *Verdokai
The last person you see on this picture - being that gorgeous bad boy with the pretty hair and big nose - is Nikita Bloodjoy, being mine and mine alone. I love him.
Now let me tell you why this picture makes me sad:

At the age of 29 Nikita Bloodjoy was brutally murdered, leaving Dominique and his two children Ilya - six - and Irina - five - behind. I will not go into the details - since they pretty much make me cry - but amongst his last words you found this sentence:

"Don't let them forget me..."

His children were his everything and he loved and adored them above all (only Dominique could compete ) and as he lay there, dying, he realised that they were far too young to be able to remember him as they grew up. So he turned to Dominique, begging that he would not let his children forget him...

When they were younger, Dominique had a camera that he was constantly using - taking photos of God knows what - and as Ilya and Irina grew, Dominique took out all those old photos, telling them stories of their father and of how their life had been - so that they would not forget him, fullfilling Nikita's last wish.

And these are those photos.

This actually is a very helpful picture. I was thinking of doing this for a project I'm working on, and now have a vague idea of what to do.

This is one of the most detailed pieces I've seen in a long time. Good work!

It's actually very old and I draw a lot more details nowadays x'D
But thank you anyway ^_^

I need to show this to my friend Elly. This will inspire her with her novel too.

wait, really quick, haha, is that just a story you wrote for the pic or is the pic actually dedicated to those people?

The story comes from roleplay. So I drew the picture for the roleplay.
(but the people is not real people living in the real world, just characters)

This... this impress me like a lot... I have taken the time since you uploaded it and just... sit and stare at it every time I passed it in my devwatch - it's just... awsome.
Okay, I know that one of the reasons to why I am so impressed is that I myself can't do these things without a tremendous lot of patience and papers - and I don't have that. But there are more reasons, which aren't as selfish

I just wanted to say that I love it - a lot - and that I am really overwhelmed by the emotions that comes with it.
Also, impressive work with all the photos, and the scales and... well... everything.

Kiss!

Thank you for that. This is one of those pictures that I want to be liked...
So I'm glad to hear that it impresses you

I... well... I shouldn't even start on the emotions this brings, no
Have you even heard the details of his death? O_o
I can't remember that I've told you the full story... (and it's even worse - like ten times worse - if you've heard that)

Thank you ^^

The title alone was enough to get me blue, but seeing the picture... s, was just... Damn. Even before reading the description I felt the story behind it all, at least partially. Listening to a song conveniently titled "It's all over" just adds to the experience. Gosh, this is just the saddestest thing around, as of late.

Like Skedy above, I really like the way things overlap. It makes for a more emotional and personalised layout than, say, a photo book layout would have; and gets one intrigued to the stories behind each and every one of them - however simple they may be.

, because it pulled my heartstrings so.

It's... extremely sad. Especially for me who own Nikita and had to play that dying moment of his Frickin painful...

Photo books are too stiff, yes. Nikita's life was in general a total mess so putting these pictures in neat rows in an album would feel so... wrong.

Thank you ^^
I am glad that you like it.

Well I didn't find your story all that sad....but that's just me.

I really like the overall layout of this one though, there's something about the way you bring the picture together as a whole that makes it really appealing; especially the little snippets tucked aways behind everything.

Cheers

Well, I guess it differs from person to person, simple as that.

Anyways.
Thank you ^^
I worked a lot with the layout on this picture since... well... it makes a big difference when it comes to these kind of pictures. Sort of.
So thanks

And it's a really nice overall layout.

Worth mentioning is that some of the text on the photos - "Bestest friends " for example - are written by Nathaniel

So sad ;_;

Let the crying commence!
