Description
This is a tribute to the recent chapter of PoHA by *suthnmeh ...in which Jasper finally dies.Here is a pic of Jasper (of course) and Amelia. Now, I'm not sure if you could call them a 'couple' but they were at least very close friends. I've tried to add some symbolizm in this, but there are very few:
1. Chains: the chains were connected to Jasper's hands, which during his life restrained him. Because he was a Poleepkwa, he had very little rights/freedom in what all aliens call home (D9). After death, the chains break, which means he no longer has to suffer the unforgivable torture of life.
2. White Lilac flowers: I read that white lilacs represent youthful innocence, which Jasper had always shown.
3. Purple cloth: Jasper was an ex soldier, and since he was a soldier, I wanted to cover his body up with a royal color to honor him; usually gold, blue, or purple is used, and since gold was too bright and blue wouldn't fit the color scheme, I chose purple.
As always, my scanner has made my artwork less acceptible because it's being a little bitch. >:[ The real one looks better. And I appologize to *suthnmeh I know Amelia is kind of gothic in her style, but when I tried to make a gothic dress, I FAILED, so I made it pretty. D: I also made her bangs too long...sorry.

This is unique, unexpected, and pretty cool!
I love all the details and shadings you've put in it!
(Hell, how many D9-OCs are out there, I think I recently lost count!)

Damn it MNU...The story is more powerful then what's directly seen. It lies underneath the lines.

Very few words can cover how amazing this looks. If the original is better in any form, I think I might just die of the pure awesomeness. A+ and a fave.

Oh my holy friggin' Godzilla! *gapes at drawing for half an hour*
I could never imagine illustrating my ficky with such a baroque, symbolic, gothicky representation such as this. I find it very original, and transmitting, and I can see you put a LOT into it! I'm certainly impressed!!
You should appologize for nothing, woman! This is splendid! I even love the dress!! Dun worreh, gothic style suits many styles. Gah! Gahh! Amazing!
Thank you so muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!!!

This is very beautiful in how symbolic this is. You really put effort into this piece. It's so heartbreaking when you look at this piece as a whole and the kind of grief his death brought, especially to Amelia.
If you listen to this: Alan Wake- The End OST
Jasper, Rest in Piece.
