Description God send the only true friend I call mine...

Pretend that I'll make amends the next time...

Befriend the glorious end of the line...


[EDIT] I hated the smaller size so I have changed this out for a less compressed version. Full size version is still linked below.

I finally finished it. I submitted the WIP of this what, a year and a half ago?

I suppose it's better than all the WIPs I've subbed here that I have never and will never finish. This is the final remake version of an ancient doodle that doesn't even exist on this account...

I'm happy with it. I submit this as proof to the doubters that I still love this pairing and this game. Rude and Reno forever. Dammit.

If you like, here is a link to a full size (print) version... [link]

Really powerful image - honest. There must've been some horrible psychological impact from being responsible for so many dead D:

Thank you so much! It was hard to match the foreground to the background and I'm still not sure I did a great job. LOL

I remember crying when I drew the original version. This one was more a technical exercise for me (since I had drawn it before) but if the emotion is still in it, I'm glad! <3

Dear Sweet Jesus, this is amazing! I love how Reno is the most desperate one, that's instantly reaching his partner's arms for comfort.

But they're gonna diiiiieeeee!! ;____;

Thank you! I hadn't thought of them looking any way but desperately sad and embracing for the last time before being consumed by the fire/explosion thing but "cute in the firelight" makes me want to draw this again but make it on a big fluffy rug in front of a fireplace. XD <3333333

They were?....
Man is my face red right now

I'm not saying that it wouldn't be scary to die, but wouldn't dying in the arms of your loved one be the best way to go? Neither has to live with the pain of loss, nor do they have to live with the burden of seeing the other die. They go together to return to the planet. This is still sad, but I think it would be less scary.

Go for it woman. Hey, maybe you can have Rude singing Chef's (from South Park) "I'm gonna make love to you woman" subtitles in there (change the word woman to Reno)
