Description

quote here is
"on the morrow will he leave me
as my hopes have flown before."
-Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven

this one also started off as a drawing... background is marbled ink, on which I drew someone's back, then i printed the trees on tracing paper and stuck it over... er then I went on Photoshop and decided the back was ugleh so got a stock photo from someone on dA... *guilty look* but I forgot to take note of who, im so sorry... i will track it down. I will.
various writing/floral brushes from ImagineFX

i should probably mention that I'm illustrating the theme of the raven as representative of the lost love whose memory will forever haunt the narrator-guy. :(
Poe never actually clarifies if she's dead or just got bored of him, but my morbid self decided she's dead. cause its more interesting.

If I remember well, in an explanation he made, he told that she was dead. But well, I read the explanation translated in French by Baudelaire, so it may as well been "she's gone" translated by "she's dead".
Ah wel.. Anyway! This work is awesome. I've been trying to find decend piece of art about this incredible poem for about one hour and a half, and yours is one of the only three ones getting out of the mass. It's pretty impressive. Just... Woah. Congratulations. =)
