Description This drawing has Two titles because it has two meanings.

Meaning 1:
"Brothers in Arms" Is something a watcher of mine at ~AskEddTheAstute mentioned these boys were. Though he didn't realize that I was making this drawing. The Ed boys are so tight together... no matter what faces them. Sure there may be a lot of arguing and fighting at times... but they're just awesome friends.

Meaning 2:
"ForeshadowEd Future"

By coincidence this art piece represents me.
Before I had to take Frosty to the vet, where he died, I drew the line art to this in school. I didn't realize that as I drew Each Ed, I was unintentionally foreshadowing how I would react to Frosty's passing.

Missery - Eddy: Eddy's just plain out upset. That is how I was when my gut feeling kicked in and turned out to be right.

Hope - Edd: But not without fear. I realized It was his time, and though I was on the verge of crying my eyes out, I felt like I could trust God.

Acceptance - Ed- So sure... my birthday turned out pretty rough and Frosty is now gone. But I know I can move on with a smile... and everything will be okay.

I guess that is just my own interpretation. Finishing this after Frosty was gone did help me feel a little better today.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, the line art (minus the bushes) was done traditionally on paper. All the coloring was on Photoshop. Not too bad considering I didn't plan out any of the background except the tree.

This is so awesome! I've been having SO many Eds feels lately and this picture actually makes me want to tear up. Your story makes it so much more profound! I think those emotions are perfect for each respectful Ed.
Just gorgeous!

I may want to redo this come October 3rd again. I started this one October 2nd on my Birthday when Frosty died. It will have been two years come the next October 2nd and if I upload October 3rd two years since this one came out. I think I can make major improvements...

Though truthfully I hope my 20th birthday is not filled with as much negative emotion as it it is in the positive.  By the way, thank you so much for your comments. The idea that I can profoundly touch someones emotions means a great deal more to me than you know.

This picture(and the meaning behind it. I'm sorry about your pet), it very sad. At the same time though, it's nice because the Eds really are brothers in arms since all they known each other since little children and they always have each other no matter what.

I'm so glad for the black circle effect though.
It really set a lot of the tone. The background doesn't look right without that darkness

And yes... I love this thing so much! Thanks!

hehehe! So is there any backstory (in story) to how the Eds got in that state? Or is it purely based on your emotional state when well, you know

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

BirchyEd In reply to JasonVoorheesfurry [2012-10-04 23:04:04 +0000 UTC]

Well I started the line art the evening before my Birthday/The day Frosty would die.

I felt happy, but I wanted to draw an extremely emotional drawing. So i did a bunch of sketches and the line art for this began.
I finished it at school and the tree line art too.

Then the thing with Frosty died happened.

Then I scanned this in and did it on photoshop... soon I realized it represented all of this stuff.

So there was no backstory to the eds getting this way.. just me wanting to draw emotional stuff.

Maybe I could make a short story of it sometime XD I dunno.

I'm really sorry about your pet, I know how it feels: my dog died recently too (2 months ago), but I'm sure they both are in a better place now.
Splendid drawing! You're very talented!

Aww... This is so depressing. And I agree with the captioning at the bottom right. It IS hard being an Ed. Especially these guys.
