Description "when he licked away her tears, swallowed them whole, he spat up his heart, his fearless sense, for all the burning glazed across the surface of his tongue."

"sugarsoak sweet in her chloroform water"

"it stained the water red and slipslow faded away, forgotten means for all the pain left asunder." (not in art above, just inspiration.)

story ----> [link]

Synopsis :: A man's sister is deathly ill and he convinces himself that he can wash away the disease with bleach-- so day in, day out, he bathes her in bleach for hours on end until she starts to dissolve away slowly. The sister loves her brother so much that she can't stand to tell him he's making her worse, so she tells him she's getting better even though she's dying.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-

it's just a never ending loop, that his love is killing her and he disease is making his love grow more and "poison" her more. just....go read the story. it's so beautiful and haunting...and depressing.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-

.....and i used a reference for the kiss.....but i lost it. it's floating on DA somewhere....in someone's stock account. yes, it was stock.


and i take back what i said about my sleepsong picture being the hardest thing i've ever photographed. this well surpassed that one. i took at least 40 photos over two days and tried to adjust them and shit...and then in the end, i scanned it in as two separate parts and pieced them together in good ol' paint. gosh...

wow, you have great design sense skills... so imaginative. that is one creepy-sounding story though. creepy and depressing and yet, still, you have feel the love in it. I love it, man.
colored pencils?
and I like that it seems the guy's heart is bigger and stronger than hers, (and hers is more of a symbol of a heart), to show her frail state, in comparison to the doing what he thinks is 'right'
