Description
A piece to commemorate the dawn of Evahs death...-----------------------------------------------------
As many of you already know, Emiris and Kel's bond was the result of Evah trying to save both their lives the day she passed away.
While Kel managed to protect her for a time while in his Caindread form, the instant the sun broke over the horizon and he reverted to his human form he fell.
When Kel transitions between forms he is not 'miraculously healed' or suddenly strengthened by the change. Whatever wounds he receives in one form instantly transitions to the other. So while a scratch in his human form may prove to be of little concern to his Caindread form, the opposite is also true. A small wound in his Caindread form can prove deadly to his human form as the cut must tear and twist to conform to his smaller human body.
The morning he failed to save her was the first time he realized this, and subsequently it is what nearmost killed him. As the wounds he incurred split open to encompass his frailer human form he collapsed, the last of his light trailing out in a fine steam beneath the rain falling round about him...
I wanted to create an image that conveyed the link between both forms, as well as encompassed the loss and despair he felt from failing to protect her.
For those who do not know, Kels blood falls like magma until it eventually cools and dries dark red.
Thus all the blood in this piece is his own.

I can't even think of the words that would aptly measure the awestruck sensation that I feel looking at this. There is definitely a strong sense expressed here, and the composition, marvins are you getting good! Just, wow.

. . . I have a lot to say, but for some reason I feel it'd be inappropriate to talk at all.
Will say it anyways:
'Cause I can't see in your head I've always been curious as to what happened to Kel at this time. I deliberately left it alone s much as I could so that you could have it how you wanted and sometimes you just blow my mind at where you take things.
The first thing I noticed in this was my inability to immediately distinguish what and where exactly everything was, I just knew it was bad and I love that because it's so fitting to the scene.
If I didn't have this other project that I promised to finish by Thursday I would totally be dropping everything and drawing the other part of this story.

And that's what I meant when saying, I envy -your- shading <3 It looks amazing. The whole concept and expression... sad but beautiful. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but I also like how the steam forms a heart above his chest, slowly fading away <3 Great work!

Amazing job with this--it's a beautiful piece! And I find it really interesting, how the severity of his wounds change when he transforms! O: Well thought out~

I actually shed a single womanly tear when I saw this piece. Personally, I think that this may be one of your best works yet. The depth of emotion and the overall composition is just... godly. How you linked Kel's two forms together is just brilliant, with both forms sort of reaching through the water to the other side, and I love the different colors for the backgrounds of both halves. Kel, in his smaller, weaker human form, rain and solemn, gloomy blue which I symbolize as his despair at failing to protect Evah, and the stronger Caindread form, with its red-tinted purple and black in the background which, to me, make it seem a bit angrier, which I assume would a fueling emotion as he protects Evah, just make for such an heart-wrenching image. I can't even scroll up to stare at it anymore, because I think I might cry. Also, the downward gravitational pull of the picture, even on the bottom half, make it almost eery, to me, like Kel is literally and symbolically falling downward, even as he struggles to hold on.
With every piece, you improve so much, it's absolutely stunning to see. Your art is breathtaking, and such a major inspiration. Keep drawing, my dear Sol, keep drawing and stay brilliant. ~ ~

How awesome is this!?! I think I just wet myself a little by how awesome this picture is (that, and I've been trying to drink more water lately. XD )
The coloring is fantastic, as well as the concept.
