Description Ellis' reaction to Nick's death.

Title and mood of the picture are borrowed from Anthem of the Angels by Breaking Benjamin, which I was listening to while drawing this.

The lyrics fit the scene pretty well. Listen to it here -> [link]

Yeah, Bill was one of the best survivors in L4D, he lived as a veteran, died a hero
Rest in peace old man

Yay! I'm happy you listened to the song with the picture. Anthem of the Angels is one of my favorite songs right now.

Did you really cry? I'd be touched if my art moved you that much, even if it was helped by Breaking Benjamin. lol.

N-nonooooooo D': noooo

I'm incoherent. This is really well done. I'm just drawn to Ellis' expression and his clutching hand - there's so much emotion and tension in the lines.

I really, really love your arts. There's just something fantastically pleasureable about how you draw - I saw you say you're working on realistic faces, and though I agree that working on realism is always a good idea, I honestly just LOVE it right now, too. You have an awesome style.

Look forward to more! C:

Oh my gosh, I'm so flattered! Though I'm always trying to improve, it makes me feel all fuzzy inside to hear that you like my style as it is. <3

Elliekin [2011-12-27 17:43:11 +0000 UTC]

This is really cool! You've got some excellent attention to detail that really stands out - stuff like Ellis' hat being pushed up and the positions of both men's hands that make it realistic. The anime faces look a bit out of place to me, but that's just a style preference thing.

backscatter In reply to Elliekin [2011-12-27 17:49:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! I believe detail really makes a picture more interesting, so I try my best to add it. I'm working at more realistic faces, but I fail at that right now.
