Description
when you were standing in the wake of devastationwhen you were sitting on the edge of the unknown
with the cataclysm raining down
your insides crying, "save me now"
you were there, impossibly alone
do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
you build up hope, but failure's all you've known
remember all the sadness and frustration
and let it go
let it go

Awe...This is very...well sweet! LOL Not to use the words I did on the other pic I commented on, but it fits. You have very nice detail and shading in this it conveys a lot of emotion. I also like the pairing here. Very nice job!

Iris, this is stunning. o_o
I mean, I always comment very late on all your stuff, but I NEEDED to comment on this here immediatly. Wow... I don't even know what to say, I really think you did such a fantastic job on this, it really stands out - The pose is definitely the best thing you came up with so far. SO ANGSTY! So good! And very complicated. Man, how do you even get those ideas, this pose shows SO much - Depending on each other, support, maybe even fear and forgiveness? I don't know, you can see so much in this piece. ;_; The text definitely helps. I especially love it in combination with Charles' expression, because it definitely feels like it's actually coming from the heart. I love his face. It's so very comforting, and and you really just want Erik to let go when you see it. ;A; OMG Iriiis. So much angst, so much angst. I love angst.
Erik's clinging is so...needy. And he looks so lost. With all those tears and those dead-like eyes. You're getting so good with everything, really. Man, I remember I always liked your style, but the improvement you went through since I started watching you...It's simply admirable!
I LOVE THAT POSE. Really, it's just so...brilliant. The compostion of both of them too! Like, Charles being above him, being the one who supports, comforts, and protects, aishffsdihsdh so good.
Also - The whole theme of this is based on how things end between them right? It's making the whole drawing so meaningful and sad, but in a good way of course. argh, you're the object of my envy.
Your lines are so thick but clean, very detailed and fff. You have all right to be proud, I would've hit you otherwise! The dark grey tones work so well with everything, I think it's a good desicion to not color it, because they stand out like this EVEN more. And how you positioned the text! Again, very impressive, conveys the feeling so well.
I also love how Charles just...kind of gently lies his hands around Erik's neck while Erik really clings to him. Shows their roles in this fanart splendidly perfectly amazingly well. I mean, I know how one of the characters ends up in the end...Even that shows in their poses! Charles' is just like...sitting in a wheelchair.
AFHSUIFEAJKDFH why is this so sad?! why do you always make such emotional drawings that everyone will love but cry over damnit!
I love this so much. I love that there's so much meaning behind every single pose, word and expression in your drawings, but in this one especially. You really put a lot of thought into this fanart and it shows.
I bet I didn't even pointed out everything, but I want you to know that I.LOVE.THIS. SO MUCH. >8'TT How awesome can you get, girl?
By the way, the way you draw tears...it looks so real! And very heartwrenching. You're the master of drawing this delicious angst.

Thank you so much for this amazing comment. I'm just...so relieved that all these feelings were successfully conveyed. I'm also especially happy that you noticed Charles' pose being as if he were sitting in a wheelchair, because that's definitely what I wanted to hint at. ;o; And FFFFF saying that everyone will cry over this is probably exaggerating it a little, but it makes me happy. Thank you. :')

...do you know how ridiculously happy this makes me feel? I just...like you, it's been so long since I've actually put thought into my fanart, and I poured my heart and soul into this, and I'm just so glad it shows. Thank you. ;o;
Angst is surprisingly fun to draw. ;D Even if it makes me a little sad inside. ;;

Really, you're the only person I know who's still so awfully grateful and I love you so much for that.
You're very welcome, I wish my english was EVEN better so I could describe what I think about your art even better ;o; you deserve only the best especially on this picture. So perfect~
At least for me, really.
I think the last time I put thought into my fanarts was the stupid comic thing. and now I really don't like it all that much anymore, how sad is that. XD;
But your effort and feelings ALWAYS show, and I truly envy that. Especially in this piece, it's so full of different emotions, and the hint at how their relationship ends/could go on is just...so amazing.
Sorry for all the late replies again, too. :c so sorry.

Of course I'm grateful! People would be fools if they weren't grateful for your support. It means a lot.
Your english is really good, just so you know! I forget that you're a foreigner sometimes! D8 It's amazing~
I still like it. ;A; But I think you just don't like it because it's of one of your fav pairings...you want to draw even BETTER stuff for them because you love them that much. Understandable. c:
Awww thank you so much. ;; I...I don't know what to say;; ♥
No worries! I talk and post a lot so, it's no wonder you take awhile. xD

Yes, I suppose it's aa good a way as any. But you're paying for my funeral. And no penny pinching. I'm dieing with a bang, and not the kind that comes from a gun.

Well, that's not too bad. Sure, you'll be totally consumed by them 24/7, but it's Erik and Charles. Anything is worth them, right?

I love them so much, it's pretty sick almost but with my new cap maybe they'll notice me when I go stalking the set of Trance (If I can find him).

Dunno if I'll be opening them anytime soon, but did you have something in mind? If it's manageable, I might be able to draw a quick something for you. ; )
Hahaha same! AND AHH! I totally freaked out when I found out about that movie! 2013, come faster! in the meanwhile, if you happen to successfully stalk them to the set, take some pictures and share them with us.

Ahh, the satellite scene. I might whip up something if inspiration strikes. That scene is one of my favorites, so I might draw it...although I might not draw it completely the same as it is in the movie, if that's okay?
Excellent.
