Gone. {Outcast excerpt)
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Reuben felt numb as he made it to his room, closing the door behind him before slumping against it on the floor.
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone...
Karina… he’d never see her again.
It was all gone. Over. And he was left feeling like an empty shell of what used to be a man so completely consumed by keeping her safe.
But she'd died anyways. And he couldn't save her.
Tears stung his eyes and blurred his vision. Throat too tight to breathe. He couldn't think as his body felt like it was freezing and on fire and numb af the same time.
His little girl... his baby, never again would he turn around and smile at her presence.
An image flashed in his mind; a baby with big blue eyes, reaching her little hand up to him as she laid in the crook of his arm, a warmth that was only a fathers undying love blossomed in his chest and seemed to spill out of his smile to her.
It flashed again and this time she was months older, his fingers tightly interlocked with her miniature hands as she wobbled out a few steps, giggling through her mouth of three teeth.
Her wobbling steps became a toddlers run, her little blue sundress catching wind with her wavy chocolate locks as she ran with a hand full of wildflowers straight to him, and he scooped her up into his arms.
He saw her covered in paint, a missing tooth and a huge smile as she held up her newest creation, flashing again to become a preteen sitting next to him with a guitar over her legs as he held her hands where they were meant to go.
Then she was a teen, blossoming with womanly beauty and taking a tight hug before waving to him from the side of a vehicle.
Then the girl he knew—a ray of Angellic light and sapphire eyes, but no tears. No pain. No scars. Just her captivating smile and she was standing beside Nathan, a baby in her arms that she passed to him, and he stared down into the eyes of a child from the one he'd raised.
Raised forever.
Like she'd never been taken from me.
His breath hitched violently. Taken when?
She's gone.
His body couldn't even move, crippled by the weight of it all. And it felt like sitting in an endless chasm where only dark surrounded, no light. No love. No purpose.
No point in going on.
Before he realized, his feet were moving at that thought. Stiff, trembling steps as he repeated it again and again.
There's no point.
When Sira and Zari had been killed he hadn't wanted to go on then, but feeling Karina's soul desperate for him in some other reality had kept him from ending it all.
Now it was truly all empty.
Dried up and barren with nothing left but a broken, shredded soul and a heart that was nothing more than ashes on the wind.
So he took the hand gun from the drawer, and readied it. Hands shaking as he lifted it slowly up.
At least if he was good enough, he'd see her on the other side.
Just one pull... one pull and it's over. One pull. His finger twitched to tighten around the one thing that would change it all, the one mechanism that would twist fate—
Two soft-yet-urgent knocks came from the door, making him pause for only a breath.
"Reuben?" Ash's voice was thick with emotion. "Reuben... it's Karina... she's—she's alive."
He met eyes with himself in the mirror, some dark and hollow thing inside told him not to believe it, that it was just a fools hope to change reality, but a tiny glowing ember deep in his core tried to relight, hearing those two words.
"Reuben, she's alive." Ash said again.
He slowly set the gun down, shaking so hard as the tears kept flowing.
The next few moments were robotic, driven on that last spark of hope inside to open the door and face his friend, then confirm if the two words he'd said were true.

Here is a round-up of all eight of the free digital brush packs that I’ve released so far for Photoshop CC, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate!
You can download them on this page (click) Type in “0″ for a free download or tip any amount you so desire!
All my brush packs are totally free (tips optional but always very appreciated!) and can be used freely in any work, including commercial work that you profit off of, with no license or credit required. My goal with these brush packs is to make digital painting feel more achievable and accessible - especially painting environments, something I now LOVE but that used to intimidate me, & felt much more approachable with the right tools! Many of the packs also come with tutorial video content. I hope you enjoy!

❤️ Snowbaz fanart ❤️
Hi! How are you? 🌸 Is my first time using Tumblr haha so I really don’t know how posting works yet 😶‍🌫️
But anyways haha, this is a fanart I made last year about Carry On ✨
Is being a while since I drew it, so now I think on a bunch of things I would do different about it (specially that messy lineart 🤦🏻‍♀️😂) but well maybe I do a colored redraw on the future 🕺🏻
I hope you like it and I hope we meet again soon~ 🌙

MILD FOURTH WING SPOILERS BELOW! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I was meant to draw Violet and Xaden but dragons are still my fav (I kind of feel 15 again with the dragon renaissance, anyone else?). So when I saw a baby tiger playing with its mum's tail, I just had to draw Tairn and Andarna like this.
You can't tell me it's not possible that she played like this when she was younger.
Obvious disclaimer that I'm still not a creature artist. I'm just having fun with this.
Inspired by Tairn and Andarna from Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
