Description Dark clouds were assembling in the gray colourless sky. Ribombo looked up and sighed deeply. He had been walking for weeks and his motivation to keep on going was sinking with every step he took. How did it turn out like this, was one of the many questions he kept asking himself repeatedly. Just a few weeks ago he was happy and enjoyed life like any other normal Kolomano horse in his herd. Untill that dreadful day that changed everything. He was nearly touching the ground with his muzzle now as he let his head hang as low as he could. Tiny raindrops started falling down on him and he shivered. "That's just awesome." He mumbled to himself sarcasticly. Even the weather did not allow him to be happy. He thought about that, being happy. Was he even allowed to be happy after what happened to her? Of course he wanted to be happy but he blocked that feeling everytime it came up. He felt guilty enough as it was, if he were to lead a joyful life the guilt would only get worse. He smirked to himself thinking of a joyful life. How stupid I am he thought, I couldn't even be happy if I wanted to. I don't have anything, I'm all alone and it's all my fault. Tangled up in his own depressing thoughts he walked on.

Yes it's another depressing picture of my Ribombo. He's been through so much and because of his personality he just can't seem to deal with it. And no I'm not gonna say what happened on that day I can only say that the 'her' was his girlfriend.

It might seem I'm neglecting this poor guy as I don't draw him very often but rest assured this guy has is actually one of my most worked out characters. I've been writing his story lately and I plan on making it a storybook and upload it here At first it would go in my comic as a special episode but I think a storybook will go way faster and in that way I can atleast describe the feelings of my characters better. I'm also really think about turning the whole comic into a storybook. What you think about that? Good idea or bad idea?

Anywho I spent a great amount of time on this but it was so worth it! I really enjoy drawing Ribombo he's one of my favourite characters I hope you'll like it!

And I guess you could call this kind of a remake of this drawing [link] it's really weird how the poses look so much alike even though I did not use a reference that time

'I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone'

Awesome song and fits the picture so well, it's beautiful!

Ach.. arme Ribombo Het is heel zielig dat tie het zo zwaar heeft en dat tie denkt dat alles zijn fout is maar ondanks dat is het toch een prachtige tekening en een emotioneel verhaal met een zielige betekenis Mooi gedaan in iedergeval Toch ben ik wel benieuwd wat er verder met hem gaat gebeuren

Paardjee In reply to mona1995xx [2010-12-27 13:18:02 +0000 UTC]

Ja hij heeft t inderdaad zwaar..
Heel erg bedankt voor je lieve comment! Ik ben blij dat je het mooi vind en een goed verhaal!
Ja ik wil ook echt graag beginnen met het uitleggen van z'n verhaal. Ik ben al best wel ver met schrijven van hoe hij Sinta ontmoet enzo Ik denk dat ik binnenkort al wel kan beginnen. Het wordt zeg maar zown plaatjesboek met de tekst en dan een paar tekeningen erbij Beetje zoals dit [link] Raar voorbeeld maar toch
