Description Oct. 31.
I don't think words can explain how much I miss them, how much they mean to me or how much they represent. I just hope you - at least some of you - can capture their essence through this picture. It's not perfectly drawn nor neatly finished, there are sketch lines not erased and probably loads of anatomic flaws (not to mention all the details that my scanner decided to ignore). But I thought it would look artificial if I simply fixed it all up.

After all, it's not about technique, well-shaped figures or line perfection. It's about loss, sorrow, loneliness, despair, trust, acceptance, growth, dependence, renewal, passion. Meaning: it's about love. And love is not artificial, love is not flawless. It's a constant search for the beauty that lies within all imperfections.

Yes, two guys. Don't like it? Pretend one of them is a girl. Not working for you? Then simply don't look at it. Seriously, couldn't care less what you think. (:

edit: Light. Colours. Let's see how many of you will remove it from your favourites after that.

Thank you, I agree - It's not about making a perfect pretty picture, it's about the intention behind it, and I think that emotion comes through loud and clear.
I love this. I really, really love this - it's very poignant.

this piece is so lovely... it actually brought a tear to my eye, and I can understand such things... I am "gender confused" as some like to call it... I am a chick who feels more like a guy.. I appear VERY feminine, so no matter how hard I try to crossdress, people can still tell... My fiance of two years accepts who I feel I am, and he is bi, but heavily homosexual.. So I personally am struck by this, and I am SO glad I saw it today.. made me feel a little better knowing not all people are so mean to make fun of people like me and my fiance..

Congrats on the DD> <3

I usually make it a point not to fave any DDs, but instead look at the artist gallery and choose something else.

But this piece, along with the description, is so powerful and beautiful that I couldn't resist. Amazing!

I love your art style. My bf sent this to me because they look like our characters but then he realized both were guys. Lol

And yes, love is hard to explain and describe. There are so many variations for them. Love is seen in many different way because there are so many different people.
