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 JUST GOT TO THIS PART TODAY. ;_______;

This may be one of the saddest death in any piece of literature I've ever read. I was definitely tearing up.

Aw thank you
Beetee is pretty cool too haha. There's so much love for Gale, Peeta, Finnick, and Rue that the other side characters don't get much love.

I wish there was a picture of Rue like this without the spear. This version is great, but I'd like a normal version for reference on my story.

kuro-rakuen In reply to evanesce24 [2011-03-27 02:27:51 +0000 UTC]

Rue has dark hair, skin, and eyes. This is my interpretation of that.

okay. but she is black.

kuro-rakuen In reply to evanesce24 [2011-03-27 05:40:07 +0000 UTC]

Dark skin doesn't necessarily mean black, and even if it did, I'd still draw her how I picture her. You're free to do the same.
