Description

FULL VIEW PLEASE!!

(Artist Note/Disclaimer: I've been dealing with a lot of loss in my life recently, so this drawing is a reflection of what I've been feeling lately. HOWEVER, I am NOT suicidal and neither is this character! THIS IS NOT ABOUT SUICIDE OR SUICIDAL THOUGHTS! Holding the gun actually brings her comfort...read on for more details. Thanks.)

------------------------

This is Kimbrin, Cinder's mom, and 8 years ago she and Cinder lost someone very, very dear to them. That person was taken from them suddenly and violently on a cold night in December when Cinder was 2 years old. Cinder doesn't remember the incident, but Kimbrin will never forget it. Though she tries very hard to be a strong mother and does her best to move on with life, there are times when the grief and sorrow are overwhelmingly painful...

During those times, softly, silently, Kimbrin locks the door to her room and takes out an old, worn box...all that remains of the life she left behind. The only things that bring her comfort when she feels so lost are the gun and a couple of old photographs...just touching them, holding them, reminds her of the person she loved so much...

------------------------

Aah, it's finally done! *stretches* And I have to say, I'm pretty happy with this! =3 I'm especially happy with it because the original sketch was crap (I had to redraw her entire body in Flash, which is something I've never done before) and the background was created in photoshop! Whoo, using photoshop for spiffy patchwork quilts! ^w^

Now, before you're too amazed, let me say this: I can't draw guns worth beans, and no I didn't make all those patterns myself! The reference for the gun (which is a .45, btw) is here [link] and the patterns were from a free downloadable site here [link] ... so if you like them, go download them for yourself! =3

The song that inspired this picture is "45" by Shinedown, so if you haven't heard it, go find it listen to it NOW NOW NOW!!! It's a good song, very sad though. Someday there will be an animation about this, but that's waaaaaaaaaaay in the future sometime, so don't look for it anytime soon.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed yourself here, but please remember: I LOVE ALL MY CHARACTERS VERY DEARLY, SO NO STEALING, BORROWING OR RP'ING WITH THEM!! >w<# THEY ARE MINE!!
