Description
Marian and Sir Guy of Gisborne. When I sketched this out, it had a theme of revenge, kind of? And it wound up with a theme of forgiveness. Which I think it just as it should be.How many drawings have I done like this? Donβt we all have that desire sometimes to care for our favorite heartbroken characters, hold their troubled heads and say everything will be alright? In the end, everything will be alright.

Poor Guy, he needed to be loved.
And the only person who seemed to like and care for him died in the same episode she appeared
Beautiful drawing.

OMGGGGGG.
No words. There are no words to describe how beautiful and amazing this is. (And I'm a writer.)

Very nice. The expressions are subtle enough to make an impact, but not enough to be overdramatic.

Just when i thought you couldn't get any better, you started drawing Richard Armitage. Sorry I'm a longtime lurker and finally had to come out and say how beautiful all your work is! Honestly, it's a pleasure to watch your stuff.
Have you seen North & South yet? So much Armitage-y goodness n' brooding haha

My god you re awesome at drawing richard armitage. It is so tough to draw( i tried many times and it allways frustrate me XD) you make me want to try again,damn you XD.
Keep giving my heart feels please? I loved that character so much because of the complexe persona he s got. I wanna draw meg and him now

You should try again! Don't give up. It always takes me a few tries before I feel like I can get a person's face the way I want to. He does have a super hard face to draw, because he can look at times very sharp and also very sweet and soft. I'd love to see what you do!

Absolutely beautiful. I really have to watch this show.
p.s. I think you mean "James Newton Howard" - he did the music to The Village.

Shit, you're right! Why did I write Ben? Ha ha!

Stop making me cry! I really wanted Marion to realize the effect she had on Guy and that she could work to slowly bring him away from the dark side--- she just wasn't mature enough to process it.
On another note, my boyfriend loves snuggles like this, it's the sweetest thing. Knowing how sweet it is to have a man rest his head on your shoulder and relax makes this picture all the more heart wrenching. Poor Guy never got a good snuggle.

Gisborne could have used a good woman (or man, anybody, really) to cuddle him and tell him he was loved. And as much as I love the IDEA of Marian and Guy, that would never have worked out. His love was jealous and possessive and angry, and that ain't love. You shouldn't live in fear that the man your marry might have you beheaded if you fuck up, know what I'm sayin'? I know Robin was a twerp, mostly, but I liked him and Marian.
Poor Gisborne. Poor, horrible Gisborne.
π: 0 β©: 1
Gisborne was pretty awful, and rather unlikable after hearing about his attempts to murder the king--- however I think he had a long history of being so sure that everyone in the world was a horrible immoral person and Marion failed to prove to him that not everyone was horrid, which is what he was hoping for, I think. He botched it up by being a huge creeper.
She wasn't so great herself though. While Marion did fight for the side of right, she did so in a very selfish, spoiled manner (something she and Robin bickered about frequently-- what a couple of brats they were). Loved Marion, but Locksley was in terrible need of some wise older women. There just weren't enough around to give all those snippy young ladies some good advice.
At least poor Guy was given a heroes death in the series, and they didn't go the humiliation route of "Prince of Thieves" and "Robin of Sherwood", or just the brutal murder from the "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" classic book.
I like to pretend Meg made it that night in the woods and they ran off together. :<

For me, I can't get past the fact that Gisborne abandoned his own illegitimate newborn in the fucking woods. Like, that's some shit Vaisey would pull, but I just didn't buy it from Gisborne. Straight away, I thought, These writers don't know what they want to do with Guy. They're all over the place.
Wise women, for true, they could have used. Not like Marian had a lot of role models or anything, but I thought she did pretty good for being on her own, basically, and so young, and having to take care of her sick father, deal with an outlaw boyfriend and eel out of the at times rather rapey advances of the local taxmaster, all while walking the fine line of political subterfuge.

Oh, wow, I forgot about the baby thing. Yeah, they did bounce all over the place with his temperament. I really wish they had planned and written whole season at once. I always thought it was a bit ridiculous how Much basically pledged himself to a servant girl in the beginning of the series, but then we never see her again. This seemed to simply serve the purpose of having him around to be the subject of everyone's jokes concerning his uselessness and lack of manliness. I thought it was very stupid, considering his veteran status. It also meant they didn't have to write a different, gentler type of woman. All the women in Robin Hood were crazy tom-boy bitches. While I like the "strong woman" idea I think they failed to recognize the variety of people they could have-- as they did with men.
While they did try to explore different characters, I think there were a few with such conflicting sides of themselves, I think they forgot sometimes that people like Guy were ONE character and not two. I think Much got the same raw deal.

Oh wow 
I suppose in the end Guy also wished for such a scene, where Marian forgives him for what he did...

Thank you, I'm glad you like this! Yeah, poor man. Poor, horrible Gisborne.
Once I read this fantasy comic where a young magical guy fell in love with this sweet, kind girl, but she was afraid of his wrathful temper. He kept destroying shit because she wouldn't love him. So a more powerful magical woman came and turned him into a puppy, until he learned to be patient and good. The girl loved him so much and cared for the puppy.
Someone ought to turn Gisborne into a puppy!

I swear I could just stare at this... well actually any of your work with big gooey eyes all day long *u* -sigh-

Jeez, that's a lovely thing to hear! C:

Oooh my Lord, this is...this is...oh the feelz, they come on strong. The theme of forgiveness shines bright here, and the pained look on Guy's face is just too much for my poor, overburdened heart...he is clearly still haunted by all he's done, and looks like he is almost having a hard time absorbing Marian's forgiveness, as he has said many times before, he cannot forgive himself. This is brilliant work, your attention to detail is astounding. Love it! Faved!
π: 0 β©: 1
I imagine it would be impossible for him to really accept anyone's forgiveness, even if she magically could come back and forgive him. Maybe that's why he was so fond of Meg? She saw good in him, and he had never really wronged her. Somebody to start fresh with, yeah? Such a shame.
I'm glad it made you feel so strongly. That's the best compliment I can think of. C:
π: 0 β©: 1
Agreed whole-heartedly. I honestly think that Guy wasn't a truly bad person, even though some of what he did is simply unforgivable. But most of those things he was ordered to do, so the blame rests on someone else, too...the fact that he killed Marian of his own accord is horrific to him, because he can't justify it or share the burden.
And yes, Meg was someone whom he never wronged, so he didn't need to feel guilty around her, and the fact that, despite all she knew about him, she still came back to try and save was...w-was just...*sniffle*...th-then she...she...*sniffle*...no, no I can't...*curls up and cries in a corner*
Aww yer welcome, hun! Keep up the awesome work!

Correction, dearie. I LOVE it. So lovely, you really do have a way of capturing characters.

I know I've probably said this before, but I have to say it again, I love your work so much! It's so gorgeous and adorable and always seems to hit my favorite fandoms. Also you draw Richard very well. I think he's kind of hard to get most of the time, but you do him very well. Sorry, couldn't restrain the gushes.

Man, Richard Armitage IS hard to draw. Depending on his expression, he can look so sharp or so tender, and it's a super fine line, but I love that. It's so naturally appealing. I'm so glad you like my stuff! ^u^

Awwwwwwww! And also, wow, how it ended up!

Thank you! Yeah, I like when things turn out their own way.

I don't even know the context of this picture, but ugh. I usually compliment people on their use of colour, but I find your use of white to be damned phenomenal. Beautiful.

Thank you so much! I love really spare color. When it's good, it can be so profound, yeah?
