Description Yeah, so I read Breaking Dawn yesterday and...I have a lot of opinions on it. There were some things I liked, some things I didn't really care for, a lot of things I didn't care for one way or the other...Overall...meh. It's over and whatever. Side note: I hate page 360. I saw it coming and it was just as awful when it did.

OH, the sketches. Yes. So, Vampire Bella on the left. I'm planning to color it sometime, hopefully soon, and then she'll look a little more vampiric. As for now, hopefully she looks a little more dramatic and gorgeous than before. Next to her is Renesmee. And you know what? Albus Severus got off easy. And then, of course, a bit of Jacob, down in the bottom right. The whole book I pictured him with longer hair, wearing a motorcycle jacket, but I decided to follow the canon. He *is* shirtless but the scanner took all the uh, detail out of it. Jacob Jacob Jacob. You broke my heart a bit, I have to say.

Anyhoo, sorry for the scanning quality--I'm not at school at the moment so I have to make do with what I gots. In a few weeks I'll update it with a better version.

Breaking Dawn, etc., belong to Stephenie Meyer.

Oh, and if you would like to comment on the book and not the sketches, or both or whatever, feel free!

EDIT: I colored Bella! [link] Go me!

EDIT #2: Rescanned. I think my scans would go better if I didn't draw half the page darker than the other half. Or half a drawing darker than the other half. I should work on that.

Love this ^^ Bella looks so pretty, yet strong, sorta like she's saying " b*tch dont you dare touch my kid...!" Totally agree on the mixed feelings on Breaking Dawn. I didn't really like most of book 1, it seemed kind of far fetched, with the whole pregnant thing, but by book 2 & 3, i was totally into it Sad that its over, eh><

I agree with that opening statement.. I too had many opinions on the book.. not all positive but not all negative. I wish jacob hadn't lost his personality.. siigh

I really like the drawings however, especially jake. renesmee looks so creepy haha

I agree about Jacob losing his personality. That was rather tragic to read.

And thanks! Half-vampire psychic babies are inherently creepy, y'know.

Hahaha, best comment ever. If it was Edward, I'd say "well, he doesn't eat food, so does anything go through to the other side?" But it's Jacob, and as far as I know (I won't be reading past Twilight, as I could only finish that on mere strength of will) werewolves eat food, so I bet he occasionally bombs Pearl Harbor.

Awesomeness!

We'll switch it up. People can either be "scared shirtless" or "go shitless." That works, but would probably result in blank looks and require some explanation. Either way I like it.

Book two and book one up until the 'discovery' of Bella's stomach - a-fricking-mazing!

Book three - One word. Renesmee. (Okay, and imprinting, but that's a whole 'nother word!)

Your Jacob is very hot, by the way

Yeah, the first two books were kind of strange and fun. Book three? I agree with you.

And thanks. I work hard to make him hot.

I didn't mind Albus Severus (I assume you're implying you didn't like that Harry named his son that, and you think Renesmee is a worse name). I thought it was appropriate, that Harry would totally do that whether the reader approves of the name or not. There could have been better names, but I thought it was good. As for Renesmee.... I assume Stephenie was hitting the 1900s censuses again. Blech.

Limlight In reply to Manbearpig82 [2008-08-04 17:34:03 +0000 UTC]

I just find it kind of amusing that Harry named ALL of his kids after people. They're like walking memorials. And I also find it kind of appalling that he used "Severus" because yeah, Snape DID sacrifice a lot, but he still hated Harry! He was still a jerk to 99% of the population. Also, I can just imagine Snape *facepalm*ing in wizard heaven, knowing Harry named a kid after him. Anyway.

And Renesmee? Not from the census records...

Manbearpig82 In reply to Limlight [2008-08-04 23:44:45 +0000 UTC]

Good point. Maybe Harry's just not very original with names. Plenty of people name all their kids after people, but it was a bit much. It didn't distract from the depth of the story, but I see why it annoys you and I understand.

Where does Renesmee come from, then? Is it original? It is awful, whatever it is. Oh, and I just found out they nickname her "Nessie!" HAHAHAHA! Perfect sequel to Breaking Dawn (I don't have a title for it) would be that when Nessie hits puberty, suddenly she can't survive out of water, and her neck starts growing longer and her fingers turn to flippers. You can see where this is going....

I must laugh hysterically just a bit more.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh yeah, Albus Severus didn't detract from DH at all. It's just a little tiny irritant in a sea of goodness. Nice visual imagery, huh?

And Renesmee is original. It's a lovely blending of two names that should not be blended with anything!

And maybe you should write this sequel? Maybe...umm...Breaking the Surface? Noon Swim? Diving at Dusk?

Manbearpig82 In reply to Limlight [2008-08-08 07:30:01 +0000 UTC]

I'd call it Breaking Bella. It would be really subtle, it would be about actually breaking Bella, mentally and physically. It would be a cruel, dark book, with a happy sunny ending. Sunny because the sun would come out in the end so strong and warm that its rays reach everywhere and touch everything, and happy because it turns out vampires burn in the sun after all.

Yes, nice imagery. Renesmee = Rene as in Descartes and Smee as in Mr. Smee?

Limlight In reply to Manbearpig82 [2008-08-10 01:17:27 +0000 UTC]

Oo, Breaking Bella? I could be interested in that. Let me know when you finish the first chapter.

And yes! It is Descartes and Mr. Smee! How did you know Bella is a fan of both Descartes and JM Barrie?

Manbearpig82 In reply to Limlight [2008-08-10 18:59:04 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I'll let you know. First I have to decide, should Breaking Bella be really short so we can have it over with, or really long so we can enjoy her suffering?

Regardless, Renesmee apparently takes more after Descartes than Mr. Smee: [link]

(I tried to find a good Smee pic, but putting Descartes on cartoon Smee's body didn't seem like it would have this effect, and I didn't really have more than five minutes to do this. It's sloppy Photoshopping, anyway, but it was fun!)

I am kind of lukewarm about Breaking Dawn...I'll probably get more into my opinions in a journal in a few weeks. But yeah, I take issue with a lot of things. What did you love about it?

I was glad to see Jacob's story done, so he didn't have to be heartbroken anymore. I actually enjoyed Jacob in this book, I've always been a big Edward and Bella supporter, but I felt bad for Jacob, so to see his story tied into hers so intricately and with such a twist! I was pleased, I love how protective edward was of his girls. I thought Bella's power was exceptional, and how obvious it truly was, but how well it tied into the story as well as SAVING EVERYONE'S VAMP BUTTS! LOL All in all, I found the writing exceptional and I find myself reading it over again, (to catch up with the other books which I've read 4 times.)

Hurray for Jacob! His part of the book was probably my favorite--I really liked him as a narrator. I didn't care for his chapter in Eclipse so that was a change for me. The end was kind of anticlimactic for me, but you know...it was an entertaining enough read, all around.
