Memories

In this world you tried
not leaving me alone behind.
There's no other way.
I prayed to the gods let him stay.
The memories ease the pain inside,
now I know why.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Made me promise I'd try
to find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
to give me a sign you're ok.

Reminds me again it's worth it all
so I can go on.

Together in all these memories
I see your smile.
All the memories I hold dear.
Darling, you know I love you
till the end of time.
~Memories, Within Temptation

I'll be truthful in saying that this is the first piece I've done in the past year and a half. I'm rather annoyed and ashamed at myself for letting myself go for that long. So if this piece is a little... dull. That would be why. I'm learning the ropes of using photoshop again.

Anywho... About this piece.

This piece of Aurora Daliwr (the gray) and Gwyliwr (the black). I know that Gwyliwr looks like he doesn't exactly belong there, being so dark and bluish. But I felt that having him seem a little out of place would help in the representation of his spirit being there, instead of him being there physically. And I didn't exactly want to use the traditional wispy transparent look on him. So instead, he's more like a shade (minus the being evil part) than a ghost.

In any case, I do hope you enjoy this piece.

Finished in around 9 hours, split into three sessions.
