Description A double promise.
Hold on to that sash,
The one that made you realize
Maybe too late, that I was real
I'll come for back for it
I''ll come back for you.
No matter what it takes,
I won't let you fall away.

-----------------------
These two. Wow.
After reading Kelly Creagh's Nevermore, i couldn't help but draw this. The book was so powerful, that i've read it more than twice and felt more sorrow and hope than i could ever imagine. I can't wait for the second book to come out, because right now i can't pull my eyes away from the first one. I can't help but relive each heavy, subtle moment between these two.
SPOILER:
Anyway, these two figures are main characters from the book. Isobel Lanely, the heroine, before running off to try &save Brad (ex-boyfriend) from Varen Nethers' dream-figure of the Red Death, gives Varen her pink dress' sash. Having thought she was just another imaginary figure, he takes it from her and slowly realizes that it was really her. She promises she'll come back for him, using the sash as an excuse to return. However, after being promised that he's safe at home and given his jacket (which he rarely takes off), she destroys the link between the dreamworld and reality. The morning after she realizes that Varen is still in the dreamworld though, waiting for her to fufill her promise.
------------------------------------------------------------------
On that note, I'm planning on coloring or getting someone with an expertise use of photoshop to color this. I know that he has logos of his favorite bands pinned to the sleeves of his jacket but i didn't know the names nor logos of any besides Cemetary Sighs. So instead i just drew the upside-down raven on the back. I also didn't know what he was wearing underneath, and deciding that he was at least wearing the norm, drew a slight V-neck shirt. (Although i should have drawn something fancier than that since he wore this to the Grim Facade). I figured his bruises and lip would be healed by the time she got to him (HA! i remembered his lip ring >xD) and she wouldn't be wearing the pink dress. So here you go. During all this madness of trying to be accurate I was listening to Paramore's: Oh Star because I feel like it can really connect to the story and how Isobel's feeling. I was actually surprised when I searched them and found nothing.
Ahhh, I wish these two happiness and I hope she gives Reynolds what's coming to him. For all the crap Varen's had to go through, I hope he receives happiness in the next book.

Varen Nethers and Isobel Lanely belong to Kelly Creagh.

I'm so happy to find someone else was as moved by this book as I was!! Everytime I read a line from the book, I just wanna cry. I haven't fallen in love with characters like this sense Harry Potter.

P.S. I just got off her website, and the next book won't out until 2012. And after that book, the next in 2013. So, we have two books!!

I Just got off her blog too. So Excited to finally see the release date, yet Im sad that the date is so far from today. [Very selfish I know Kelly Creagh is working so hard though;'}] I only have one question do you all think that a trilogy will be enough? [I know selfishness just overflows] I just love reading her writing either on blogs or Nevermore over and over.

I feel the same way. XD Ummm, I'm not sure. For our Nevermore needs, maybe not (hey, fans are pretty selfish). But we can fill that void with fanart and fanfiction. XD

Awesome job!
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who was so affected by this book. It's a very rare occasion that I'm moved to tears, and I balled for two hours after finishing it (at 2:30 in the morning) and I couldn't get to sleep. It's still haunting me over a week later. I seriously haven't been able to think about much else. I hope she gets the next one published soon or I'm gonna die of anticipation. I'm so anxious I can't stand it!

same here!
i had never felt so alone when i couldn't find anyone else who had read it...
and i cried, too.
i finished it on a Saturday and for the next week and 2 days of school i was so rude and anti-social at school.
everyone was wondering if something had happened with me at home or did something to me x)
I couldn't stop thinking about it either, even to this day! &&it's made a big impact on me as well.
hmmm, the next book while probably be out late of next year or the next (i'm guessing) since the book was only in hardcover :\
it really bumms me out but it's better than it being the final book! xD

Ugh, yeah. I was sulking around the house for like a week afterward, totally distracted, and my mom was starting to think something was seriously wrong. XD And yeah, it would be awful if that was the only book... I would die. I'm really surprised more people haven't read it. Best book I've read in a long time.

Absloutly awesome. I love how you drew these two I think that would be the exact expretions on their faces when they would reunite. I cant wait for the sequel. You should send Kelly Creagh the link to this, she asked if any fans could send her fan art of any charecters.

D:
yess!
you don't know how happy i am to meet someone else who's read Nevermore! ;_;
haha yeah, i was about to make him have a slight smile but considering that he rarely did and he'd cherish the moment, i opted for the sorrowful/appreciative facial expression instead
me either! i'm excited that it's being made into a trilogy!!
oh, would you happen to know how i could send this to her?
i tried FB but haven't gotten a reply and when i attached the link it didn't show this :/

F0RG0TTEN-0NE In reply to Mayon-Ruiz [2010-12-10 07:13:20 +0000 UTC]

I know I had the exact feeling when just out of randomness looked for fan art inspired by the book. Oh I see that is so true you would think that anyone would smile in the situation but varen is a little deeper tthan that so love your choice it means u payed awesome attention to the details[ but how couldnt you Kelly Creagh is just xD]haha. Oh I know me too when I finished the first I cried literaly and repeated no this cant be it and googled it x]. And yea if you want Ill give you the link to her blog where shes asking for fan art.
