I Miss You So Much by @Scryren (Ashley Tate)
“I’m sorry you had to see me in this. It’s disgusting, I know. Maybe I’ve lost my mind for resorting to aiding the enemy but I’m closer now mother, so very close to finding the truth. Even if I wasn’t, I still wish you would reach up and pull me under...hn, someone’s been here...Kryito I know you’re watching...Damn it, don’t ---ing leave me with them!”
Eh, sorry for condensing three paragraphs of text into speech only. I’ve planned on doing this scene for the past few months I just never got around to doing it. So, here it is. Please, before anyone hangs me for the stones all being the same, it’s a national cemetery. Lothar/Scry’s father was still in Akheron’s military when their mother was in an “accident” or so the OAS puts it. Also, epitaphs would require giving away the timeframe and I’m not about to do that so blank stones all around. XD
The thing in his hand is the earring I’ve been intentionally drawing him with since ‘99. The scene where Kryito leaves it for him just happens to be drawn in 2004.
This is a very powerful image. A slightly more manipulated background could focus the figure a bit more, but the strong light against dark contrast is very nice. The hand is very realistic but the gravestones could use some improvement. Overall a very moving piece.
