Many a cold night and day had passed, the seasons had changed and every leaf on the trees was new many times over. Nothing still lingered to remember their promise. But in the darkness of the land of dreams, they strained to touch once more, to feel the comfort of that love they once shared. But no dream can truly combat the strength of a thousand miles.

*fcd* I like the shading in your piccas, this one looks to me like they are sighing in despair after a huge fight with each other.

:-) Kelsey Hottman replies: "You think so? I was going for more of a longing, I can't reach you sort of feeling. Thanks for checkin it out, Mate!"

Of course i think this is a beautiful piece, otherwise i would probably not be writing anything. Many a time these pieces will be seen, and each time they will strike the very soul and the heart of every individual.

:-) Kelsey Hottman replies: "*many a time, many a day.. thanks so much, it really means a lot to me!"

Now i'm not a connoisseur or ne thing.. I'm sure the guy is great and all.. But i think i can speak for all religious zealots when i say that the hot missy mermaid girl would do well w/ this girl.. Much better than some crappy bald guy... Heh but thats just me..

:-) Kelsey Hottman replies: "*Oh boy.. somehow im not suprised.. guys and lesbians *shakes head*"

For the feeling you'er looking for maybe they could be onopposite corners of the page? And for the coment that one guy made EEWWWWW creepy lesbian lover guy! <( ;< I thnk the baldness sibolizes emptiness or lacking something .....like that one guy was lacking manors, (he's probably jelous of that bald guy! Love the work keep it up!

:-) Kelsey Hottman replies: "*Hey, thanks so much. Aye i agree about the lesbian lover thing heh heh. I really was looking to show how very close they could feel but make it impossible to touch.. sort of like that quote about how awful it is to be next to someone and know you cant have them.. that sort of affect.. i guess the baldness could symbolize that although i just liked the look of it much more. thanks so so much for commenting!!"

Her nose looks like she run into a wall and her head is to big for her body but the shading is very good, and her hair looks nice too

:-) Kelsey Hottman replies: "*heh not everyone has long pointy perfect noses... but i know its not a perfect picture and i've seen that her head is a bit big *shrug* tho not horribly i dont think thanks for the comment."

I love the shading in this one.

I would love to kiss you again,
but my heart is not really here.
I want to take you in my arms,
but now I’ve got another dear.

:-) Kelsey Hottman replies: "*thats a beautiful poem, really fits the picture I think!"

I like it, especially the shading and the girl's hair. But yeah, like other people mentioned, a little out of proportion. The man's ear seems a bit small and the woman's chest is too high. Other than that, I think you captured the emotion pretty well.

:-) Kelsey Hottman replies: "*thanks a lot mate, Its always good to hear a new view on an old piece. And you're right, her chest is too high, thats the problem heh its not that her head is too big. thanks!"
