Description A few days before Valentine's Day, but I don't care.

Today was really discouraging and full of sick stomaches and angry parents and thunder and rain and lack of any motivation and tomorrow is my annual day to mourn, but thanks to a very special person in my life, I made it through the day.

This is for the person I love. Thank you for always being there for me and trying to make me smile.

Happy early Valentine's day.

Oh, one more thing. Credit for the texture goes to ~JaidanWolf , thank you very much for making something so epic. And for anyone who is wondering, that blur in the background is a light rail passing. Downtown San Jose is full of pretty things like fountains and parks. There two railroads that pass right along the street that go opposite directions which I take quite often, and everywhere you go you'd find lines of trees decorated with Christmas lights. you can say this was basically modeled after that area. Good times.

I love you soo very much, this piece means a lot to me. It means more than any experience downtown or any song or any moment with anyone aside from you. It means almost as much as my love for you.

I love you so very much too. I'm glad it does. Sometime in the future I hope that we can enjoy ourselves like that, more and more and more. I'm looking forward to those moments during which we can just love and enjoy being with each other moreso than ever. I love you more than anything and I really am glad you appreciate this.

You're the only reason I am even able to draw anymore. Thank you.

I had to shove this pic in after I realized that I didn't have anything for Chris for V-Day.

I have a big lineup of things I have to draw and you're near the top of the list, but I don't know when I can get to any of them.

why is it called "remember you must die"? (memento mori translates to this)

shaolinfeilong In reply to mirmanerd101 [2009-02-12 04:28:04 +0000 UTC]

Oh, that. I suppose the simplest way to say it is that I was aiming to reflect on a time in my life in which I was very happy with my boyfriend. Those perfect times have passed and will probably never come back, so it was more of a "everything has to end sometime" sort of thing I hope that makes sense.

This is great! The lighting and the atmosphere just convey so much.
The background seems to hold random things and I wonder if they have any meaning.
I think you've definitely gone a step up in your work
