Description I turn to Rue's family. "But I feel as if I did know Rue, and she'll always be with me. Everything beautiful brings her to mind. I see her in the yellow flowers that grow in the Meadow by my house. I see her in the mockinjays that sing in the trees. But most of all, I see her in my sister, Prim." My voice is undependable, but I am almost finished. "Thank you for your children." I raise my chin to address the crowd. "And thank you all for the bread."

I stand there, feeling broken and small, thousands of eyes trained on me. There's a long pause. Then, from somewhere in the crowd, someone whistles Rue's four-note mockingjay tune. The one that signalled the end of the workday in the orchards. The one that meant safety in the arena. By the end of the tune, I have found the whistler, a wizened old man in a faded red shirt and overalls. His eyes meet mine.

What happens next is not an accident. It is too well executed to be spontaneous, because it happens in complete unison. Every person in the crowd pressed the three middle fingers of their left hand against their lips and extends them to me. It's our sign from District 12, the last goodbye I gave Rue in the arena.

P. 75 Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

There were other HG fanarts I was going to work on before this but since I'd already done Katniss recieving the bread it felt only right to post her thanks next. Ignoring 'Like a Bat' because that was just for fun.



Not sure I really got the face right but I re-drew it so many times OTL This was the best that came out. Today was not a great day for me so I couldn't sleep so I stayed up doing this instead XD

What to draw next, I've been meaning to do something of Yelena and Valek since I read Poison Study but I think I'd need to read them again to find the scenes (any excuse). Might do something of Jorg from Prince of Thorns cause that book is so so so awesome. Why Why Why must I wait till August for King of Thorns?!! D: D:

Honeslty I'll probably draw some Iron Fae next

But yes, enjoy another stirring Katniss scene, other HG arts are in the works I promise~ Suggest scenes if you want, if they tally up with something on my to draw list it may bump up said list.

*flees to do art commissions*

Enjoy~

I just want to say that I absolutely love that dress. The coloring and design are amazing, and the subtlety of the leaf pattern is perfect.

The dress was one of the main reasons I wanted to illustrate this scene.

I LOVE the Hunger Games!! And I just love this picture! I think you should draw Katniss braiding the flower's in Rue's hair after she died. (Yeah, I love Rue) Great job!

I love this! You did such a great job!! I'd love it if you did the scene from Clockwork Angel -- "She turned and left, not looking back to see him staring after her - a small black silhouette against the last embers of a burning sky." It's near the end of the book? I've tried to draw it before, but have failed 'cause I don't have photoshop to enhance the sunset. I'd love you forever if you wanted to draw it!

It's not really a scene I'd planned to draw sorry.

Not a problem! I'd also love you if you decided to draw the Blood and Water scene. Or the scene where Tessa breaks a vase over Will's head.

I've tried drawing the vase breaking twice, it never captures the moment.

Does she have two eyebrows or something? Other than that, this is gorgeous!

No, just blanked out eyes. For effect.
