Nwekiwi and Mathias

you make me feel so gentle...
I am humbled by the greatness and might of your heart.
You make me see myself, what I can hope to become.
How pure I hope to become.

Though when I think of you in ways that are less than pure.
Ways that are selfish.
I try my hardest not to.
I am humbled and made small and young again.

Though you mean to me what I do not mean to you.
Though someday you will grow beyond me.
Though many beautiful maidens reach for you...
Though I think inside that it is not with me you will find happiness.

I speak to you across the land.
You have become a part of me
Through you I see things so clearly.

You blood hails from the land of the tall ones,
fields of green and ancient stone temples.
And I was born from a humbler place,
where rainforests are dense and dark

Yet we find, at times, we are singing the same melody.

I remember the old ways, the old stories.
my heart beats fast like a newborn's
and I remember myself again.

The beginning.
The earliest songs
of the stars.

That set me free.

Set me free.

Just some character designs/ideas for an original story that I've had some time before I thought of Nhoor. I don't think I'll continue it, since they also came from prose I wrote couple yrs ago that I thought sucked, so instead I drew the pictures out of it.
But sort of evolved into the manifestation for something personal...I guess. >> << ^^

Trying to work more on defining features an volume in characters/people and poses, and resisting the urge to fluff up detail before the basic sketch.
