Description Next in a gradually evolving series from the Buffy tele series.

This piece depicts a scene from the Buffy episode, "The Body". Tara comforts Willow as she copes with the death of Buffy's mother. The theme of growing older follows from "Goodbye To You" [link] as Willow

- faces the death of someone dear to her
- makes a connection with a new love (a first kiss with the Tara character)

This episode completely floored me when I first saw it, and sent me back to the childhood time of my grandfather and grandmother passing.

The pencil drawing itself was done in my 7 x 5" notepad. I took some liberties in coloring it with Photoshop, though I'm mixed on whether it looks better in sepia or in color. I may change it later.

This drawing was also entered in a DA contest (which lost, but matters less)

I loved Tara- she was such an interesting character- vulnerable and real in a way that was very refreshing.
Great lighting and I love your style of shading. So simple and luminous and full of emotion. You're very talented.

kiss scenes always turn out very beautiful when detailed just enough and posed just right... these two elements were captured very tastefully in this piece. good job!!!

phowar! this is such a lovely drawing! I've watched the entire Buffy series, and I remember this episode. To be honest, the Tara character ticked me off, but she was good for Willow, who was an excellent character.

This is a lovely drawing, and I personally think you should leave it in colour, and not change it to sepia.

poepel [2004-01-06 06:11:31 +0000 UTC]

Nice one.

My preference would be color, I think. Because of red haired Willow and blond haired Tara. That would be lost in sepia.
