UPDATE:RIGHT GUYS JOHN GREEN POSTED THIS ON HIS TUMBLR WHAT IS THIS LIFE I CAN DIE HAPPY
Right, guys, I got The Fault in Our Stars by John Green on Monday night. I read until three in the morning, and finished Tuesday. Actually, funny story, when I had about 100 pages left, I took a walk while reading, and ended up sitting infront of the empty pizza parlor. I cried my eyes out. Everyone thought I was depressed.
Anyway, this book was amazing. It's the first book that really ever truly touched me. I'm in love. I lent it to my friend Stephanie today and I miss the little thing and the way it's pages smell. I've never missed a book. Is that crazy?
Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. I'll try not to fangirl but I fell in love with him. Hazel, too. I might have a small lady crush on her too. I don't know if I did them justice, I tried. It looked better pre-colored pencils/pen. And the sheet and pillow colors, oh god, my and Steph tried so hard to think of one, because I did both Augustus's and Hazel's shirts first. I just winged it. Don't hate me!
This is a quote from Augustus, but they weren't in a scene like this. I just... liked it here.
Hazel and Augustus belong to John Green.
UPDATE: Right so as said, I felt like the pillows and all that looked too much like the skin tone... so I changed it. Still don't like the colors, but I like it better, at least.
So I've got my own portrait I did of Hazel, but I'm afraid to show it to the world because everyone has their own version of the characters in their heads, but you are so brave! And you captured them together so beautifully. DFTBA <3
I just ooked through a lot of your gallery, and PLEASE post it! I'd love love LOVE to see it. You're such a great artist, and I rarely see any fanart from people who can actually... how do say this correctly... can actually create good art. If you know what I mean. Thank you!
Wow well thank you! Ok, maybe I will let people see her, but be warned. It is not a pretty picture since I based it off what I felt when I read the bit about Hazel finding out that Augustus died. Chokes me up every time T_T
I just saw it (Oh and gosh thank you for the mention in your post) and I don't care what others think, it's beautiful. I'm about to go and comment on it right now. And just saying, but it inspired me to finally finish up my TFiOS piece I've been working on, so thank you for that, too!
I know! The scenes that really get me? When Gus says "everywhere" as he explains his condition in Amsterdam, the gas station, Isaac's eulogy, the exact sentence "Augustus Waters died eight days after his pre-eulogy" (sorry, I don't know if that's the EXACT sentence, I don't have my book on me at the moment) and then when Hazel slips the cigarettes in the casket. No matter where I am those parts get me crying. Oh gosh. I can't. Oh, and thanks so much!!
