Description
For day one of the week-long event at . Better late than never, eh?What originally started as a fairly simple idea and sketch turned into... well, a fairly simple deviation that took FOREVER to color in. So... If I'm ever going to catch up, I'd better hope that the other pictures for I do for FoC Week don't take as long.
The theme as you might guess from the title, is "home." This was a bit of a tricky one, but I eventually thought of the episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Chosen". The destruction of Sunnydale, you know. So I drew Buffy with her ghosts. I know that she's tough, but I think she should be allowed just a moment of weakness - after all, her hometown and the guy she might have loved have just been wiped of the face of the planet. (Even if no one ever stays dead in Sunnydale.)

I... cheated. XD I knew he came back pretty much as soon as I knew he died... but it was still incredibly impactful! And I feel so bad for Buffy....

It is... and I feel very odd knowing that I got this picture out of the warm, happy word, "home". Oh, well....

At least he came back, though! (Unlike poor Tara. )

yeah.... I was SO sad when Tara died. But I was really confused like : Why didnt willow just use magic to save her like she did with buffy?

Yeah... though I like to think that it's because she learned her lesson about messing with death and life. Besides, she brought back Buffy believing that she was in Hell.
Ultimately, though, it's because Amber Benson didn't want to play a character in a Joss Whedon show anymore... ^_^

Interestingly enough, I haven't actually seen it, either... I've only seen seasons 1-3, and will have no chance of watching any more for years... but I learned about what happened, and appreciate the story of it, even if I didn't get to watch it.

Ooooh, I love this! I love the desolation on Buffy's face, and the awesome transparency of the ghost, and the broken sign. It's all amazing, you did a wonderful job!

Thank you for the kind words! I was rather proud of the expression myself - I've never tried it before, and I think it came out pretty well.
