Description
This is a revision of a character I drew a really, really, really, REALLY long time ago:
Wow. That was 5 years ago. O_O
I've avoided drawing this character for so long because she's very near and dear to my heart.
--
I've decided to name her Annabelle. My idea for her remains the same, if not, slightly modified:
I believe that when we're born, we're assigned a guardian angel. Someone who watches over us throughout our lives, without being seen or heard. For the longest time, I've always imagined my guardian angel as a girl. A young woman who retains an enternal beauty. I imagine her somewhat similar to this picture; Her skin and hair being a bright, snowy white, wearing a clean white robe with fine threads with patterned blue lining with matching sandals. Her body, lean and graceful, illuminating a pure, calming light, with wings of clean white feathers like that of a dove, and a bright, glowing halo suspended over her head. Sometimes, I feel like she watches me when I feel depressed or extremely upset about something. I feel she has concern for me, as do every other guardian. I feel she's the only one who understands me and what I'm going through.
--
This piece in particular chronolizes what I'd imagine it'd be like to spend quality time with Annabelle. This version of Annabelle is definitely the most accurtate depiction to what I initially envisioned her to look like. Back when I was in high school, I was very shy and had very low self-esteem. It was a very dark, stressful, and awkward time for me. I also wasn't very good at making friends. Daydreaming myself with her during those times always helped comfort me and reignite my self-confidence.
--
This is by far one of my most personal submissions to DA. This character is something I've carried with me for a very long time. I don't expect anyone to fully understand my relationship with her. But she'll always have a very special place in my heart.

If only there are actualy girls in real life this nice and sincere.
This kind of brings me back in time when I met a beautiful Russian girl in 6th Grade. She was a new student that moved in my country. And despite me being always alone and treated badly by basicly every classmate in my class, she was the only one who liked me and treated me with kindness and compassion. I remember I was eating alone during lunch brake and far away from other people, but that girl was sitting next to me and it made me happy, I feel like that was her intention to make me happy.
Unfortenatlly, after I graduated from 9th Grade, she had to move back to her home country, because her mother couldn't find a decent job in my country (I live in Latvia BTW, not sure if you know of it). She wanted to see me one last time, before she moved out and because of my parents being over protecitve pricks, I couldn't see her, considering that she didn't live too far away from where I lived. -__-
She always wanted to hang out with me in person, but like I said over protective parents, because I was born with one leg shorter then the other, so couldn't walk properly, after I graduated 6th Grade I had my leg operated, so I could finally walk like a normal human being.
I thought maybe we could have had something more then just friendship, no other girl as I can remember has treated me with such kindness in person, especialy a beautiful looking one.
Sigh, but that's all in the past now. She now has a boyfriend and propably is married. I just hope she has a better life, then I do and the person she is with treats her life. Just because I am unhappy, doesn't mean I wish that to others.
Sorry for the long comment, I just love the story behind your art. I know how it feels to be looked down upon and feeling worthless.

I'm very sorry.
But I'm glad you understand where I'm coming from. I hope you'll get a chance to see her again, someday.
Thank you for the very thoughtful comment!

Hmm, it's possible. I never thought of that, really. Then again, I have rung my fair share of bells, especially around Christmas time. lol

Thank you so much for sharing Annabelle with us my friend and your very personal thoughts about her. I really understand your feelings about her and they are wonderful. She is just so perfect and beautiful inside and out. Who wouldn't want to have a being like her in their life. John

You know, I wonder what her voice would sound like. Just hearing her act so motherly and saying "Honey" and such, I imagine this certain voice (that I cannot describe) coming out of her.

lol Same here! I've pondered over what Annabelle's voice would sound like for a few years now. As of now, I imagine her voice sounding like Kiernan Shipka, in the same vein as the voice she did for Marnie in the English dub of Studio Ghibli's When Marnie Was There.

It's kinda hard to find isolated clips from the movie, so this is the best I could find right now.

I wish I had a girlfriend, and that she was this Angel, because then I would have hope of having a wife and a happy marriage and life.

I guess I'm not the first to notice that your art style has shifted from a Tim Burton-esque style to a Steven Universe-esque style!
