Welcome Wednesday.
I had a damn BLAST with this one. Dreaded the line work, as per anything I do. It tends to take the longest. The real bitch-and-a-half is in the detail work.
--slightly larger version on DL

The lines here were done by; http://www.furaffinity.net/user/marijkerose/ , as well, the characters belong to her; http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7487681

All color, shading, and mashing up of a handful of BG works was me.
I've tried not to do much with it that wasn't in the original, though the lines in Blade's hair had to go, they didn't work with the color.

Here we have Blade and Marijke. In truth, I know much more about Blade. Umbreon morph, hence the markings. Marij is a cheetah, and her colors, hair and spots were probably the most fun during this, if not short lived.

This is a rare glimpse of Blade being happy and loving. He's always loving, though, typically You and I don't see that.

Anyway, long story short, I saw the lines fell in love with the piece enough and boom. here we are. Simple.

The title was a spur of the moment change. Its the feeling that washes over me when I take a good look at this, at their faces.
That trust and love is rare, and I'll admit, a much sought after commodity by yours truly.
The moment in time that's so perfect that nothing could replace it, the moment that could span on into eternity as the world around tries to break in against all your hope that it will go on without you.

The moment is brief, and forever is a long time, but to return to that moment... worth it.



... Anyway. This one's for you, old friend.
