Description Once again, thank you all for the faves and comments! I'm unfortunately going to have to disable further comments because I've heard "omg she's supposed 2 b black u got it wrong!1!" one too many times and I'm sick of it, but for those of you who actually read and respected my comments, thank you
------------
Thank you for all the faves and comments! But please refrain from commenting about any "inaccuracies"-- this is the way I pictured the scene and Rue; I wasn't necessarily trying to be absolutely 100% book-accurate!

Oh man, this picture may hold the record for longest time passed between start and finish. I sketched this and started inking it about this time last year while studying abroad in Japan. Just got around to finishing it today.


Rueeee! You can't tell me you didn't cry when she died! Her hair took me foreverrrr.

I hope my picture does her character justice ;A;

I almost cried at her death. And now listening to Safe and Sound I'm about to burst into tears.

This. Is just plain amazing. You really captured what she looked like. The spear also looks realistic, like it is actually tearing through her. This is amazing. But I cried during the death of her D:

Deep in the Meadow
Under the willow
A Bed of Grass
A Soft Green Pillow


Lay Down your head
and close your sleepy eyes
And When again they open
the sun will rise


Here it's safe
here it's warm
here the daisies guard you from every harm


Here your dreams are sweet
and tomorrow brings them true
Here is a place where i love you

It's Called The Valley Song. I Don't Like How People Call It Rue's Lullaby. But The Movie could Have Had A Better Tune.

R-R-R-RUE! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (I know I am a crybaby, but Rue was my favorite character. Even more than Katniss, or Prim, or Gale, or Peeta. Rue was best.) WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *Presses three middle fingers on lips then to the sky.* We love you Rue. We all wanted to weave flowers in your hair and sing to you before you died, because we all love you, and we all miss you. We are all hopeless without such a cheery girl as you...Sniff...

So sad is the death of a well loved fictional character. I cried buckets, and even teared up at just looking at your work. A great drawing dearie, it really captures every emotion.

People get so butthurt when an image isn't 100% accurate to the book, it's kind of funny and pitiful to watch.

In the book it said she was dark-skinned I would say the artist here drew her as being dark-skinned.

Looks black to me. She is far blacker than in other pictures I've seen.

It's just a different kind of black than in the movie. The movie had a deep Denzel Washington/Annika Noni Rose black, where in this drawing she's more of a softer Halle Berry/Barack Obama kind of black.
