Description ~.:Stuck in two worlds, not one or the other,
Away from my friend and away from my brother.
The memories haunt, this withering soul,
I'm drained of the life, I will never know.
Empty…
As the spirit I am, no shell of my own,
Forever I'll be an inaudible tone.
Since my tune wanders off, to no ears that can hear,
How lonely it is as this strengthens my fear.
Now at night I can dream, of a blissful escape,
But I'm scared to be drawn, from this place I await.
I just stay,
And pray
And listen,
And hope,
And wonder if lives I was close to don't choke.
And then I can dream, of a place I return,
And the past I can mend, as the old thoughts can turn,
Into memories filled, of all hopeful desires,
Not the painful return that sends truth to the fires.
They'll be waiting for me, filled with laughter and glee,
I'll be wanted once more, someone loved and adored.
But the pain strikes my heart, once these thoughts soon depart,
And I'm trapped once again, all alone in this land,
Things are empty they seem…
But at least… I can dream… .:~

Nestly: Holy CRAP! O___<;
first off.. you BETTER FULL VIEW PLEASE!!!
I really outdid myself didn't I? =3 Yes yes... this is probably my best work yet.. not to brag, I just reeeaaally love the way this came out is all... <3 Anyways, This is Din, my ghost Kyrii. She died a while back, and basically what this is about, is that no matter how much she will deny it, she longs to be alive again and see her friend and brother, and to be loved and welcomed. But that dream will never come true because she's only a spirit now. But this is her dream, her dream to be alive and accepted into the world for once.
Din is my most sorrowful charecter and has one of the saddest stories of all my pets. She slowly became like this, the reason why she is so sad and her story is very dreadful. She has got to be one of my favorite charecters of all time, because of the devolpment of her personality and design, (though honestly, I have not once changed her outfit.. O_o)
and just well, I love Din. <3 Probably my 1st anthro neopet as well. So I guess you could say this is a dedication to her.. n_n; I mean she IS dead and all... ._.;;
About the art: This picture took me two days strait to finish.. that's right, worked my ass off on it yesterday morning, (or wait, it's midnight.. so.. two days ago!) but anyways, I was just messing around on OC3 at 7 in the morning since I'd missed the bus and was waiting for my mom to drive me, and was totally inspired to draw this picture after viewing one of ~Kitokie 's drawings, so I'd like to give her a HUGE favor in giving me the ambition to draw this. and so I sketched the pose, liked it, and eventually got to the point of awesomeness in my book, so here it is.
I need to make some print-worthy pictures anyway, since I don't have a job and need to make some cash SOMEWAY. *sigh*
But well, I hope you enjoy. ^-^;
You better because those flippin' sparkles killed my hand.

Nestly, I love this drawing so much! I think it's one of my favorite drawings i've ever seen. I love the background, the pose, her face, and everything else. This picture really does inspire me a lot when I have days when I can't draw.

YOU DID THE SKY, YOU DID THE SKYYYYYY!!!

Heh heh. I hate having late comments >.>;

I remember when Din was a biped. Then you stole her sandals away and made her hair strings longer and longer and longer until they were finally frickin' taller than SHE was while somehow the rest of it stayed the same length. XD

You have this really odd habit of drawing the biggest toe/fin/whatever on the outside of the foot. Why do you do that...?

You didn't half-ass the grass! *cheer* Though that moon...shiny thing is kind of scribbly. Whatever, it still looks fine XD

I really like her face and hair and tail the best.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY! *fav*

Nestly In reply to ticticai [2005-12-02 02:33:49 +0000 UTC]

Nestly: Thank you. n___n;
And well, I do admit it was suppose to be the moon at first, but I honestly couldn't make that happen, so instead, you kinda have to pretent it's the eternal life light ya know..? She's not looking towards it because she wants to be alive, not gone forever. I just wanted to make it original looking and well, decent looking at least...

foot thing... that's just the way Din's charecter is and how I've always drawn her. and nope, Din was never a biped, first picture I drew of her was anthro, even though it sucked and didn't look quite anthro, it still was, heh heh. I remember..

....The grass was the funnest part to do.
Thanks again. n.n;

OC is fun to play with 83 And I agree, this is a great job you've done

My favorite part is the grass and the background all together. I see you also smudged the ghostly fade around her. I can't do that on OC without switching to Photoshop xD;

Anyways, great job

and yes. XD the dimming glow around her was smudged in a bit. >3 Although the thing took me like an hour to figure out and make it look good... ._.

wow. this is really really good Nestly... I am speachless as well.

so THIS is why you ignored my IM's?! hahahaa. well, I can see why. :3

It looks like you used your tablet for once though! (BEcause ever since that one time with OC I remembered, that you didn't use your tablet for a looooooong time.) But here is my critic:

All the fur shading is great, I love the colors of din because I believe they match her personalty. Her clothes are fine. THe shading style you used is very very nice. I love everything about this picture.

AND I BET YOU WERN'T EXPECTING ME TO FAV IT TOO. -favs- OH BUUURN. XD

... nice job Nestly.
