I love this. The quote works so well with this as well. Impressive work

Thank you. The quote came first though, drawing from it was the easy part :)

amazing, this is so dramatic and epic

Well, I was hoping more for calm and peaceful with a sliver of hope somewhere on the side... but my defitinion of "epic" might need some updating, true.

Thank you!

damn... <3

Okay, "damn" wasn't exactly the response I was hoping for....
Nah, kidding. Thank you :)

well last minute maybe but it turned out amazing )

Well, yes, I cannot say I regret spending the night awake.

aww cute

Thank you :)

Beautiful art! And such a great story and that quote just makes it perfect =3

Yes, I seem to have my moments... inspiration strikes and occassionally, a good idea sparks out of it. Thank you! :)

paradni :) ta jedna ponicena budova mi pripomina citadelu z half life 2. podobnost to je ciste nahodna?

Half-Life jsem v životě nehrál ani neviděl, takže zcela nečekaně výjimečně ano :)
I když se svojí metodikou popkulturních referencí mě šokuje, že jsem nějakou nechal nevyužitou...

Nicely done, as ever, and description just couldn't be more fitting. Just when I was watching a Game of Thrones today, there was a part that was a little bit like this - girl wanted to save her husband so she sacrificed her newborn son so the witch could perform a ritual. But what the witch brought back was just a breathing corpse, without the soul and she said "you wanted him to live, so I gave him life itself. A life without soul is just this" - a world where children can't be a children is just not a world worth saving, as you said, it would be just a life without soul.

True, life is something completely different than living. I used something similar in a New Exiles fanfic I wrote about two years ago.

I'm almost inclined to un-fave this, just so I can fave it again.

I think there must be a name for this in some sort of a psychiatry book =D
But thank you :)

It's an amazing piece of art, really good job..

Thank you. It surely feels rewarding exchange for a night without sleep :)

You got that message right, no doubt about it! It's in our children that the future lies, and it is one of the greatest gifts we can ever receive!

Dominus tecum

Fantastic work and story, man... I mean it!

I just discovered you through this pic.
You have are skilled!

I reeeeaaaally like the little bit you wrote for this picture....
Freaking amazing.

Yes, I have my rare moments of clever writing. Occassionally.

Thank you!

To tell the truth I think kids today dont have it anywhere as good as kids did a forty years ago when I was a kid. Everything is prepacked there is nothing of imagination anymore.
