Description I just love Jake n Bells. Twilight. PLEASE FULL VIEW!

EDIT: MY DUMB ASS: I'm married and I even put her ring on the wrong hand... sigh. I might change it, but I'm lazy. But didn't she wear it on her right cuz' her left hand had all the symbolism of marriage? Can't remember, if you do let me know Twi-tards

Forgive the angst, I was riding along the other day and heard "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss and I knew I just had to draw this.

Originally I had this as a Breaking Dawn (fail) pic, where Bella's eyes are red. I changed it at the last moment. I'm not a big fan of that book in whole. There were bits and pieces I liked, and I really like vamp!Bella.... but...yeah, moving on.

I have more Jake n Bells pics coming soon. Non-angsty, fun (garage sex) type of pieces. lol jk

PLEASE NO JACOB BASHING!!! I will ban you quick, then you won't get to see the awesome Cullen family portrait, or any Ed/Bella pics I have coming up... awwww, too soon? (Love Lisa Lampanelli.)

"Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss: [link]

Lyrics:
She put him out,
like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette.
She broke his heart
he spent his whole life tryin' to forget.
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night...

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

The rumors flew,
but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
For years and years,
she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night...

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

Don't take the song literally with the picture. I just thought it conveyed the same pain Jake feels with the thought of her becoming a vampire...

Awww! Honestly, when I saw this in 'Whiskey Lullaby' results, I was just like: "What the heck is a Twilight pic doing here? And how does it fit Jacob and Renesmee?" Well, at least I thought that until I zoomed in and noticed the ring... But anyway, beautiful job!

I'll admit I'm not the biggest fan of these two--mostly because it was pretty obvious from day one that Bella would choose Jacob. Still, even though these two don't end up together, they still fascinate mat times.
I really love hoyou put a blush of pink in Bella's cheeks--I can imagine her coloring lke that if Jacob was hugging her. And Jacob, of course, looks like a Giant in pain, but in a good way. Awesome job!

Jacob kinda looks like a body-builder in this one...like he's taken too many steriods...

But the /emotion/ that he shows along with Bella...! It's amazing.

Favorited.

Keep the awesomeness coming!

My husband thinks I should draw Jake/Nessie too. I dunno, I might I'm such a hardcore Jake-n-bells shipper that Breaking Dawn was a hard little pill for me to swallow. I do know that I have a few Cullen pics that include the cute little heathen though. Thank you for liking my art! I very much appreciate it!

I gotcha, girl. I love Jake, too. TEAM SWITZERLAND!!!! That reminds me that I want to make a stamp of that... Moving On!!! I love the angst in this pic (I know, I'm an angst/tragedy whore) and I adore the new way you're drawing Bella.

No, even though she hated the idea of it originally, Bella definitely wore the ring on her left. She just didn't wear it at all until she told Charlie. <3

I don't understand why girls don't like Jake. He's so damn loveable! (until he's trying to kiss Bella, lol) I swear, I went through the same emotions Bella did when it concerned Jake, from New Moon all the way to Breaking Dawn.

Meh, don't worry about it. I don't think anyone's gonna be all, "OH NO YOU DIDN'T PUT IT ON THE WRONG HAND!!!"
