Description He met her in the produce aisle.
She was drawn to his fuzz; he, to her curves.
They left in the same grocery bag, to build their life together.
And then, one night, he came home early.
She was ripening in another fruit's bowl.
He teetered on the edge of the bowl they'd worked so hard for, never to love again.
Bruised on the kitchen floor.

I'm very mad at deviantART; there's no conceptual drawing category.

Lovely little story, though quite weird. You should write those kinda books that old women read, taking place in the local grocery shop. Poor apple being cheated on!
Btw, real good job on the shading/light. Specially on 'his' top if one can say that...

clouded-ambition In reply to mesai [2007-02-27 23:46:39 +0000 UTC]

Wait, let me get this straight. I should write books for old women?? About fruit? lmao.
Thanks alot! haha, yes, gender-specified fruit, what is this world coming to...?

mesai In reply to clouded-ambition [2007-02-28 14:19:05 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm that did come out a bit wrong but... YEAH! XP
Well, we already know that bananas are male so maybe all fruits are gender-specified...

hahaha! i love the little narrative you've thrown in there. it was decidedly tragic.
lovely value, debora!

[p.s. as for the lack of a conceptual drawing category thing... if you send a note to the right place, they just might make accomodations... just maybe.]

Why, thankyou, Matt. It was randomly concocted in 35 seconds, but I will appreciate the comment as if I spent an hour on it.

What a sad story!!

How do you do such wonderful shading?? I hate shading and am not very good at it! It looks very realistic!

clouded-ambition In reply to SparrowsFlame [2007-02-27 23:42:33 +0000 UTC]

Well, you see, I shade very well for the first 5 hours of the drawing.... and then it becomes haphazard scribbling just to finish in time. That's me, the average high school student with absolutely no time whatsoever.

I love how the peaches (I'm assuming they're peaches) actually look fuzzy... *Drools* I'd eat them, but I'm bound to get graphite poisoning or something... Amazing job, as ever! I, too, like the little poem that came with it Peach Suicide!!! Definately sounds like some kind of magnificent dessert...

clouded-ambition In reply to emotionaltulip [2007-02-27 23:34:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yep, peaches! That's why they bruise so easily.
I really don't know where that poem/story/excuse-for-dA-description came from.

it probably is! I MUST CONSUME...PEACH SUICIDE!!
