And now I live, and now my life is done.

This piece of art is an illustration for a complete, short novel. The novel itself features adult themes, but this illustration does not. As such, I’m uploading the art separately from the novel here, so that anyone can view it. If you would like to read the novel associated with this illustration, do take a look at the links below. However, be aware that you will need to have adult content enabled on this website in order to see it.

This is the first new piece of art I have uploaded to FurAffinity. Please be gentle!

Music forms an important part of my work. Each artwork and story I write comes with some musical suggestions which I believe emphasises the emotions of the work, and this piece is no exception. I suggest listening to the following when viewing this illustration:

In the artwork, the Charizard was modelled on scenes of Ash’s Charizard from the Pokémon anime episode ‘Charizard Chills’, and from the 3D Charizard model from Pokédex 3D Pro. The bandana was modelled on the bandana of Emily’s Psyduck from the Pokémon anime episode ‘Sitting Psyduck’. The background was modelled on various scenes from the Pokémon anime episode ‘Snow Way Out!’.
