Description
The title is a song lyric by MUSE!!! Copyright Muse. Don't hurt me, I love the new album.This be the last page of my sketchbook *sob* and so that explains the ripped corner. Kinda. Not quite. I still have other doodles on the last couple pages but they're not finished yet so y'all gotta wait. YOU WAIT, YOU UNDERSTAND ME? WAIT!
I can't look at this without feeling very, very, VERY sad and tearful. It's Boo and, the rarely-drawn but quite important, Elizabeth. Actually, it's the first time I've ever bothered trying to draw her. So, VERY rarely drawn. ...Boo and Elizabeth make me kinda sad, people. Because they were so close. Or he was so ready to die for her. Yeah. They're just SUCH a tragic pair.
There's oodles of symbolic crap thrown in here, for instance the fact that Elizabeth is all in white and halo-y with glowyness and wingy shapes 9_9 And not just obvious symbolism like angels, but the blood-- are his sockets empty? Has he been 'blinded'? Is he weeping because of the horrific violence that brought the end of his beloved? And the scribbled words outside the page, on the cardboard: SOMETHING'S MISSING. Could be taken many ways. That is, both these characters were (and still are) 'Missing Children/Persons', and Boo currently feels like his life is one big empty hole.
I felt like stretching my English-class symbolism talents tonight.

Gawr. After reading even just a few chapters this pic almost makes me cry now... *snifflesniffle*
It's so...pretty! I remember the first time I saw this and had no freaking clue what it was all about, but liking it anyways. Mreh. I still don't know what it's about truly, but I kinda see something.. ._.;

*peek* ... hi there XD
well, i dunno who are Elizabeth and Boo (clearly the ones in the drawing, but when I try to go further... lots of tragic stories come to mind...) but, for some reason I just loved your drawing. It has such a feeling. And title is just so... I dunno, it touched me... so I'm gonna fav it! You did a great job, wish I could draw such feelings on paper lol

thanks so much! ...all you really need to know about these two is that boo loved elizabeth in a protective-big-brother kinda way (though they weren't related, they just went through the same trauma) and now she's dead. and he feels baaaaaaaaad.

hooraa for symbolism!
the best part about it is that everyone catches and interprets different things. even if you don't include any symbolism, eventually someone will find something they think you intended to put it there . . . isn't it fun?

nah, i'm too dense to look for that kind stuf . . . i enjoy the simple things. unless someone tells me it's there, i'm completely oblivious.
for instance: i didn't notice that the colors around her were a halo and wings until you said so . . . i did notice the blood though . . . maybe i only pay attention to dark things . . . *shrug*
