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 actually CRIED when she died, and also the scene where the whole district 11 pays respect to Katniss in the second book, Catching Fire. Rue's my favorite character of all books! And...this is very well done!

I totally sobbed when she died. I'm glad Katniss didn't have to kill her though.

I CRIED. I cried very much =<

Even if I'm not fan of manga-styles pictures most of times, I see it fitting in this picture.... Man, she looks beautiful.

This part was so sad I mean she was so sweet but then the stupid guy had to kil her I bet when the movie comes out (March 23, 2012) everyone is going to be sniffing and crying on this scene.

My god, I loved/hated this scene! When I first read it, I literally sobbed for about 30 minutes straight. And still every time I've read it (re-read it 7 times now), I always either choke up with tears forming or I just have to skip over it cause it's so sad!
But seriously, this is a beautiful drawing. I love the way the hair is just flowing around her and she's crying. I love this beyond belief. Thank you.

RUE DYING WAS SOOOO SAD!!!!! I cried. Honestly, I would make a PERFECT Rue, with the brown skin and dark brown hair and eyes. I'm even a ninja like her and can climb almost anything and I'm 11 lol

Well, I see that you already did anyway. It's fine since you credited my original in the description, but next time it'd be nice if you waited for my answer before you went ahead and posted it on DA.

Also, your icon is amazing

*sobs* This makes me wanna cry.
When I was reading this part of the book, it was after a standardized test and we were all being silent. I almost screamed and I think I teared up a bit. (It was impossible not to!)

Rue's death was definitely the saddest part in the book.

I personally like this depiction of her death better than how the book put it. ^^

You did a good job~
