I know what you mean. :( This is beautiful.

:( this is so perfect, she would have loved it so much! She loved your art and I still remember that picture of Devon you drew for her way back when because she always posted it whenever she posted gift art of her characters, haha.

This is gorgeous. She would absolutely love this.

i dont know what happened but this is a lovely piece

Oh my god, Fern.... ;~; This is just. Breathtakingly beautiful. Jolyn would have absolutely lost her mind with excitement and joy and love over this and explode into a fluffy, furry cloud of happiness and gratitude. It was just a small part of what made making art for her so special and rewarding. She appreciated every piece of artwork she received and saw the beauty in everything and everyone. I can only hope that I can do right by her by living my life more like she lived hers. u_u

First, I have to say, the way you've captured her essence here is unparalleled. You are so skilled at really telling an entire story about a character through a single piece of artwork. It's clear how much emotion and love went into this piece. It's also clear how difficult, but important, it was for you to do. And I'm so glad that you did. I hope that creating this brought you at least some small amount of comfort and helped you to deal with your grief in a productive way. The way you drew her here is just how I picture her on the other side. At peace, free from the hinderances of her physical body and the turmoil of her psychological struggles, serene, and liberated. Now fully able to be with each and every one of us in spirit. And I know that, wherever she is, she is flipping out in iconic Jolyn fashion. The kind of love that Jolyn gave freely to everyone, especially the people she held nearest and dearest to her, knows no bounds and never dies. It only changes shape, as hard as that is for the rest of us to bear. If anyone deserved everlasting peace and serenity from the all too frequently cruelty and anguish the world inflicts upon us, it's Jolyn. At least I can take solace in knowing that she is free from pain.

I know you were so close with Jolyn for so many years. I know how excruciating and devastating this all must be for you. And I know we haven't known each other officially for very long and there are so many people who love you that you can always turn to for support, but I want you to know unquestionably that I am here for you 100%. I know it can sometimes be difficult to open up and vent emotions to people, even ones you have known, trusted and loved for years. At least for me, it sometimes is easier for me to be vulnerable with someone that I don't necessarily know as well, but whom I still trust and care about. I don't know if you're the same way, but if you are, my door is always open to you. You were so special to Jolyn and she had fathomless quantities of affection, admiration, respect and love for you. She has told me herself time and again. And that means that you must be someone very special to be so loved by someone as pure and genuine as Jolyn. I don't want to start rambling incoherently like I do, so I will just leave it at that; I'm here. You matter. I love you. Always. <3

She is missed :(

She would of wrote you a novel and told you how much this meant to her in full detail (she saw so much beauty in this world), and I would of been refreshing the page waiting for it. Miss her so much.

♡ this is so beautiful

I haven't been logged on (or really checking) FA in the past couple of years, and I just now did so, and I've been checking around with those that I knew and stuff with Jolyn... And guh. This picture and your description knocked me into an emotional mess.

"i finally got to a place where i could draw this without just sobbing...its so hard because she loved art so much and she would have just exploded with joy whenever you drew anything for her."

I lost my flipping mind when that happened, spent two hours crying solidly that night until I was physically unable, and had to leave work early the next day because I couldn't keep my composure and I just broke as a person.
I started something for her a couple weeks ago, and I don't know if I can finish it; I don't know if I can make it good enough.
/Sorry you got my emotional rambling.

hey, its okay, she was this amazing light of a person and losing her was such a terrible wound for so many people...
please tho, she saw perfection and beauty in everyone's art. trust me, you know that she would love it, its good enough <3 hope youre doing okay~
