SciFi and Fantasy Art: Drukhi and Nenais'u

'...So Drukhi found her, beloved Nenais'u, wind footed dancer,
stretched on the green grass, as silent as stone. Her dark eyes sky-watching,
only her shining blood gave him answer,
Her head lay uncradled, her black hair undone.'
'Long time he held her,
through gray-shadowed evening, beneath shamefaced night,
matching the hours she had laid there alone.
His bright eyes unblinking,
Drukhi sang songs of the East's timeless light.
He wispered to her they would wait for the sun.'
'Dawn, golden-handed,
Caressed but could not warm the nightingale's child.
Nenais'u's swift spirit had fled unhomed.
Close Drukhi clutched her,
His voice echoed our through woods and through wild.
Where two hearts had sounded now beat only one...'

4 May 2006	Lori Crow	Loading... Grief is an emotion that is easily portrayed with body stance and props, but seldom does the facial expression actually express grief. However, you have captured the expression perfectly. Looking at his face, I see a grief that goes bone deep and beyond. His despair is evident in every line. You have a rare talent. Treat it well and bring it out often for all us "not so talented" people to admire and envy. I hope to see more of your work in the future.
