Description SPOILER!!!








Here lies Therem, the dude(tte) who had to die so that the keystone metaphor could be understood. He was a bishounen before bishounens were invented. And she shared their taste for unnatural deaths. Confused about the whole gender thing? Read the book!

The Left Hand of Darkness, novel by Ursula K. Le Guin

I found your art through this picture and I must say-you have made the most beautiful artwork I have ever seen.  We also seem to have similar tastes in many things, such as this rather obscure book.

His/her death (and destiny) was just sooo tragic and unfair ((
And, no doubt, your portrait of our all dear Estraven, is one of the best to find online!! Really beautiful!

This is the picture which made me want to read the book (because I'm terrible at heeding spoiler warnings...).  That only made me find it more beautiful.  And sad

Oh my God. This is one of my favorite books ever. I must reread it one of these days. It helped shape my perception on what good writing is and also, it taught me about tolerance and sexuality.
I really like this piece. An odd thing to say about a dead dude, but he's mouthwateringly accessible the way you drew him.

It's one of my favorites, too. I read it many, many times and I'll never get bored of it...Therem is such an unique character... And thanks! I always imagined him/her quite attractive, even in the end.
