Remember Me

 Please... Remember me...

Sketched up while listening to nothing in particular, although "Another Chance" by Alex Clare comes to mind. 

Refuge character studies. Alex and... someone else? Someone familiar as well. 
Hmm.

Peaceful Moment

Sketched up while listening to nothing in particular. Although I would say Aqueous Transmission from Incubus is a good accompaniment.  

Alex enjoys some time in a gentle river. Mainly some conceptual work for the Refuge. Lots of time spent in the forests, best to get a feel for it, right?  (as much as I can in pen anyway.

I'll Never Walk Away Again

Wake you up
In the middle of the night to say
I will never walk away again
I'm never gonna leave this bed
 The sound of his voice as he sang the words made her feel warm from head to toe. The song was appropriate, considering full scope of all that had transpired between them, but right now that didn't matter. Not when she felt more complete than she had been in a long time.
"That's a wonderful sentiment." She said, nestling closer against him. "...but can you do me one favor?"
"Anything." he said into the back of her neck.
"Cut your damn hair." 
She felt him laugh. "I'll think about it." 
"If you don't, then I want a divorce."
"We're not even married."
"We won't ever be if you keep looking like a hippie." 

Sketched up while listening to "Never Gonna Leave This Bed" by Maroon 5 (acoustic version)
I've had that mini scene in my mind since I sketched it! So happy to share it now. 

A *possible* scene far into the future of the Refuge. What happened? I don't know!

At Odds

Sketched up while listening to nothing in particular.
Bonus sketch for the week. Why?  Well frankly I'm not thrilled at how it turned out. But hey, sketching on the bus can only do so much. and like I said; that's what first drafts are for!
And anyway, what's up with these two? I thought they were all friends!  Or at least cool with each other? 
Hum

Our Little Secret


Sketched up while listening to nothing in particular, although I highly suggest "Truth or Dare" by Mariana's Trench! 

Some Simon/Isabelle (Sizzy!) to round out the week. Because I promised. :)
Although I'm surprised I don't draw them more because, out of all the relationships, I think Simon and Isabelle really are most like my wife and I- minus all the supernatural elements. ...I think. At least I'm about 63% sure neither of us is either a vampire or guardian of the world so...

I Found My Heaven

 I see the stars in the freckles on her face,
And I'm seeing God every time she says my name.
So mother Mary, pray for me,
Without her I'm so lost,
Her love is my religion.
 

Sketched up while listening to "Her Love is My Religion" by The Cab. 
  
I hope this makes up for the cascade of feels from yesterday's post! Jace and Clary (she's got her Voyance Rune!) just... stupidly happy! These poor two haven't had a moment to really be *happy* with each other. I mean, come on, look at his grin.
The song, too, is just so much them in my eyes. Jace even says he doesn't believe in God, but he believes in their love so... :)
Give it a listen! it's a great song.

Hello Old Friend

SOME CLOCKWORK PRINCESS SPOILERS!
EDIT: now with a freshly scented Tumblr link!
Still Spoilery though!












 
Sketched up while listening to... nothing in particular. Except the sound of my heart breaking perhaps. 

Fan art for Cassandra Clare's The Infernal Devices series.
I have no clear idea how tombs work in the Silent City, but I would like to think that he would visit them from time to time...
