Again, an operatic reference! Beautifully portrayed. The autumn landscape is blazing, but Lensky is quiet and cool against the wild brilliance of the season. The little lamppost in the back is good for depth too, and you mentioned in a comment it has personal meaning.

Thank you!! this opera is very important for me because of personal reasons. Besides that, it is really good.. do you have any favorite opera?

La Boheme, Traviata, Turandot. Turandot especially for some reason I really can't place. I love Puccini anyway but Turandot was something that really moved me. I like most of the classical operas. I like Wagner too. I was a serious opera buff for years.
In my novels I sometimes pick out minor characters from operas and transpose them into stories. At one point I was thinking of taking Escamillo, the matador from Carmen, after the events of the opera, and following him -- not literally but someone in his situation, who's met the most wonderful woman of his life, then suddenly sees her shot down by her jealous ex.
The mandarins in Turandot moved me. The music completely swept me away in Turandot. Also with Traviata, Violetta's song before she falls in love, her song about enjoying life rang very true to me. There are so many of them.
My novels aren't as tragic as the operas that inspire them but I enjoyed listening to opera while writing. I should replace my music collection.

Wow, I would definitely love to read your stories!!! is like the kind of stories I would want to write if I could... !!

You could! It's not that impossibly hard to learn to write fiction. Your stories based on these same operas would be completely different from mine. Just as your drawing the same person would not come out the same.
The thing to do is to make up the story. Tell it to yourself in your journal. Tell it again and again. Folk tales polish themselves this way -- so many people tell them that they become refined, there is nothing extra thrown in beyond each storyteller's flourishes. There are many technical things about writing well in English or any language -- and since you are a native Spanish speaker, you may want to write in Spanish and look more to Spanish-language novelists for style elements.
But if you read good books, constantly, you are taking in all the techniques of good story writers and novelists. It takes practice and reading a lot. Classes and books on how to write can help, but the important thing is to enjoy the process of doing it. Thus, do it a lot. Write down every idea you get.
If you write down these ideas and pay attention to them, more ideas come. Combine them. Build on that. Each writer reinvents how to write. I can't say to you to write the way I do -- I start at the beginning and as soon as the first page is interesting to me, I keep going till I reach The End. I can't stop or I lose concentration and will make mistakes, contradict things I put in earlier. Other writers outline and plan what happens and then write it bit by bit going back and forth. Some will do a short version and then add a little more at every rewrite till all the detail and dialogue and description are in.
It does not matter how you write. You will find the method that works best for you, the one that is the most fun to do is the right method for you. Because the real reward of writing is the process of writing itself. When you come out with a good story or novel, and it becomes one of your favorites like the other good things you read -- there is a deep satisfaction and a need to do that again. Then submit it. Real editors always look to find new writers, so they may make critique -- they will either reject it or if they like you, help by telling you how you can improve it. Their critique is valuable because they have decades of experience critiquing beginner stories. So they are a source of help.
You could do this. I would love to read your stories based on these things. Sometimes my operatic references are very hard to find, because they change in the telling -- they are starting points. Yours will come out different because you are not me, your life is different, your loves were different people, everything in you is your own. There are worlds in you waiting to be discovered, and I would love to see your stories. No one else but you could write them. I could write stories you'd like -- but not yours, not the ones that only you can see and tell. Give it a try.

I think you are right... may be I should give it a try, after all it might be fun. Thank you so much for your lovely comment and you support!!

Go for it!
Here are a couple of clubs where you can find more support: *ProsePlease and ~FantasyWritersUnited here on DeviantART. Also, my website [link] SFFmuse is a writing community online where you can get critique and supportive comments -- at SFFmuse just make a note about it whether you want support or critique or hard critique, we rate things when we post for critique so the other members know what's needed at that stage of process. Me, I don't want critique till after I reach The End on something, it distracts me and may tank the whole project if I stop to make changes.

Bueno, lo de tus colores de tus fondos increíbles como siempre, pero me acabo de fijar ¡este personaje tiene una proporción bastante más conseguida que otros dibujos tuyos! (pero curiosamente sigue siendo estilizado) ¿has cambiado algo la técnica o así?
Ah, merece un favorito
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Muchas gracias!!
Es cierto, la proporción está bastante mejor.. será por eso que le encontraba algo raro?? pienso que es un poco demasiado .. concreto, o material, para ser Lensky..
Tu comentario, como siempre, es bastante certero..

as always darling i love your work. Your characters are always great, but more than anything it's the scenery that causes my breath to catch in my throat. The people you draw are incredibly lucky to be able to exist in such beautiful places.

Fall is really a beautiful season, great idea to use its colours for the background
From which opera does this character come from ? (if it comes from an opera ^^)
Good job as usually missy 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehee.. yes he does.. The opera is "Evgney Onegin"( if you look for it try with "Onegin"). It is a russian opera, by Tchaikovsky, based in a novel by Pushkin. The main character is a dandy called Onegin, and Lensky is his best friend. In a party, Onegin danced with Lensky´s fiancee just because he wanted to make his friend jealous. But Lensky got too angry and insulted Onegin. They were so furious that they decided to have a duel. It is a very sad escene, because they are best friends and to duel is totally stupid. Once they are in the duel, Lensky doesn´t shot but Onegin does, and he kills his best friend.
Have you seen the "Talented Mr. Ripley"? in one escene of that movie, Ripley is watching this escene.

Thanks for the story ! I've seen The talented Mr. Ripley but it was a very long time ago so I can't remember. But if I watch it again, I'll remember to look carefully for the passage
