Description Because screw canon, I have too many feels, dammit!

Holy crap, did this take forever. And by forever I mean spanned over almost a week, and more than 100 layers in Photoshop. I am pretty damn happy with how it turned out though, especially considering that it's such a breakaway from how I coloured stuff initially.

If you want to see some progress pics, head over to my tumblr: link

"I know what it's like to spend your whole life chasing ghosts." - Epsilon. 
That quote really spoke to me when I was in the worst days of dealing with my PTSD and my amnesia. The memories kept coming back, and all I could do was chase them down like a rabid dog. That one sentence made me realize what a fool I was.

I shall never believe York is dead, I deny you Out Of Mind. It's gotten so bad I've even got my own theory of his survival which kinda makes sense!

There is no way he dies.

I'm still kind of in denial about it too.


(I'm assuming that you've seen Out of Mind, that is. If not, I have some really bad news for you...)

wow she is still on DA haha. nice finish .100 LAYERS!!!!! thats a bit over the top isn't it?. anyway i love it, the people are done really well. my only critique is perhaps adding more shadow to the figures or more light to the background so they fit better. but well done its excellent kiki

Yeah, I know I could have done better with the background, but you know me - I hate the things. And I agree, 100 is probably a bit much, but the way I colour in Photoshop means that each colour has its own layer (so their hair had about 10 or so each), and sometimes even two or three for blending highlights with opacity.

Thank you! I had quite a bit of difficulty in making her look sad whilst still retaining some dignity, as she's always very composed as a character (except when she's hating on Tex).

They really were such an awesome couple as well as a great team. I just wished they could have admitted their feelings towards one another before York died

I'm still clinging to the hope that they'll somehow bring him back from the dead. *sighs sadly and returns to reading Yorkalina fanfiction*

That's funny because a long time ago my friend and I discussed what if York was still alive and he had amnesia

I wonder if we'll learn anything new about carolina in season 11. I still think allison was carolina's mom because of her quote about how "her mom had a saying....."

Oh, it's confirmed that the Director and Alison are Carolina's parents - Burnie has even said that Epsilon/Alpha can basically be seen as her brother.
I do hope that they go into what Carolina and Epsilon are doing whilst the Reds and Blues settle in at Exile.
