Description SPOILERS! Sorry, I don't know how to add a spoiler tag to the image... D: Although the cover of the book ought to be enough of a spoiler. XD

Anywho, this is a study of an image that I eventually want to do. As much as I disliked Invincible (not for the actual events, but the execution of everything was really poor), I did get weepy-eyed during this scene. Jaina isn't as beat up as she ought to be in this image, nor is Jacen, although I did add the flayed cheek on Jaina (if you can see it). Had to crop it this way because I couldn't get the right foreshortening on Jacen's legs. *facepalm* Yay for EU fanart!

Hey! Awesome seeing you today. I totally left the copy of SW Revisited DVD I had for you in my car (if you are gonna do a marathon this is the version you should watch!). I also wanted to get you the draft of the first 3 Acts I have so far for the fanfic. Could totally use your input on Miss Jaina S.

That scene was absolutely heartbreaking. I'm glad you drew it-- I think you captured the emotion really nicely.

I'm with everyone else--that scene, with Jaina only half-aware, sitting with her brother's head in her lap, recalling their childhood... **starts sniffing again** Her parents finding them that way sent me over the edge, though...

This is beautiful, capturing the tragedy of the moment so well--the lighting especially is perfect, centering on the two of them, closing them into a tiny bit of warm memory and sheltering them for a few heartbeats from the horrific reality... The gory details here aren't so important as the emotion and mood--that's where the power of the image arises from. Beautiful job of capturing a supremely sad moment.

That's what Jacen gets for being such a douchebag. Had I been his twin, I would've killed him in Inferno.

LOL, it would have saved a lot of people grief if it had happened then.

Wow. Just finished that book last night. This scene made me tear up. Beautiful little rendering. There's a lot of emotion in this little pic.
