I finished the color work. This could very well be my last Code Geass related picture (non commissioned). It all depends on the finale which should be out tomorrow.

This is an image of Kallen and Lelouch from Code Geass. The scene was inspired by a very moving scene of episode nineteen. I really didn't get the complete feel for it until I saw it subtitled.
The whole last half of the episode was emotionally powerful. With the finale coming I don't know if this scene was romantic or tragic.

You can see my Scraps album for my design sketches on this piece.
I like this version for the dramatic feel you get from the harsh angle and the foreshadowing.
I don't think I'm going to just see if the viewer can guess at what they are feeling. The expressions are so important in this scene.

I really enjoyed coloring this image. Getting the glow around Lelouch was paramount. I really wanted him to appear in the spot light and Kallen it backlit.
I wanted Lelouch to have an almost dead look in his eyes. He really thought a moment from this he was going to die.

I hope you all enjoy and feel free to post comments.

[SPOILER!!!] I Warned You!
I thought this scene was incredibly romantic. Not that I know if that was Lelouch's intention. That's just the feel I got from it. There she is, ready to die with him. Lelouch again plays the big villain and in doing so is able to save Kallen. Now that I think about it. If Lelouch had wanted to be nasty he could of made it look like he had take Kallen 'hostage'.
The image title, "kimi wo ikirou" comes from Lelouch's last words to Kallen, "Kallen, kimi wo ikirou.". English translation is, "Kallen, you must live on.". If you watch that scene you will see this split second of panic in Kallen's eyes. She suddenly realizes what he's done. I thought about naming the picture, "Live On", but I felt using the original line would hold deeper meaning.
I was surprised by the moment these two had in episode twenty-two that it was what happened in this moment that seemed to get the strongest reaction from Kallen. She asked him why he told her that. I'd like to know that answer too. If he didn't care about her why didn't he just let her walk away without saying anything? Seems like he wanted her alone to know.

Oh, if this series royally messes up Kallen's character I will never forgive it. I think the only way I would be really upset with the ending is if they pair her with Gino.
