Description
A tiny drawing. Probably about the size of my palm. @_@I just amped it up in PSP7.
The title is Anakin's quote (in my head, not in the movies). And Padme is not sleeping.
[SPOILER]
This is Padme at her funeral in the gorgeous water dress.
And I just wondered what Anakin would do if he attended her funeral. Most probably he would fall to his knees at the casket and weep. His beloved died by his own hand in his mad rage.
[/SPOILER]
I wanted to draw his gloved hand clutching the sides of the casket, but I got lazy. So let's assume this is more of a feeling kind of piece. I drew Padme first and then added Anakin later. It took me 3 tries to get his face right and he moved up and down the page. @_@

I love this picrure. Even in death, Padme still loved Anakin even after he became Darth Vader. I think Vader felt the same way for her.

Aww thanks. It's really a poor rehashing of 2 separate images that I referenced.

oh my god, it is powerful. I love the huge empty space above it, if it was intentional or not. It really gives it weight.

Thanks. Yes, I tried to balance it out with the white space above.

Ahaha, it was pretty sad, and IMHO one of the best parts of the movie, let alone the prequel series when she confronted Anakin on Mustafar. T_T
Unfortunately I didn't cry T_T

haha that's so crazy! i'm trying to get better doing smaller scale pix but i don't think i'll ever be able to get them palm sized and still have that much detail. XD

Well, I do it because my sketchbook is rather small. It's not something you should be aiming for. XP

oh man your profiles are to die for
i also really like the emotions that you convey in your picturessss
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. I find profiles slightly easier to do than full frontal shots. XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i know right idk a lot of people bitch about profiles but they seem to be easier but really yours are quite nice :D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's easier for me because there isn't much symmetry involved. So I'm just drawing one eye, mouth etc.

Beautiful. Rarely is fanart able to capture this much emotion (and I'm no Anakin or Padme fan, so it's not just that I care about the scene and add those emotions to your art. )The composition is fantastic. And the drawing itself is so impressively detailed and...just plain good.
(I like to draw small too.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks a lot! The composition pretty much worked itself out. I wanted them to have 2 profiles in harmony, where you could see both their expressions pretty clearly.
The whole piece is really built on their emotions (although I think Padme, being quite dead, wouldn't have much of an expression). I just chose to portray her as serene, which is how Anakin would remember her best.
Thanks for the detailed comment again.

Lovely emotional piece! You really conveyed the feeling...

Yes, I wonder if it's more loss, tragedy or sadness. I guess it's a combination of all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Methinks it is definitely tragedy....
