Just CryI know you've been holding it in
And for me that's even a bigger sin
and when there's a silver lining so thin,
there's nothing else to do, so,
Just cry
Just cry

Your friends have left you, you've dissolved to Abyss
How could it ever have come to this
So take this heart felt kiss and give it a try
To cry
Just cry

I would say big girls don't cry
If i said that, it would be a lie
you've been hurt, and it gives you more reason,
for now and every other sad season
To cry
Just cry

And I want you to know, that I'm
With you every step of the way
On this ugly path on which you stray
and with your head on my shoulder, I pray,
For y

The StreamThe stream flows, so calmly, devoid of worries.
It flows around my feet, so subtly, so gently,
caresses my shell, drifts past me
reflecting my life as it passes

It flows slowly but surely
like the times as they change
cleansing my ways
reincarnates my soul

Let me be this stream
carelessly flowing, everlasting, pure
forever facing the sky
unlocking the shackles restraining me
never worrying about another lie

The sun sparkles on its surface
rays of light dancing to its command
in all its youthful embrace
im lost in its grace

Tears Of An AngelShe looks down with grace
pitying the judgement we face
all the dreams we embraced
turned to dust in these demon days.

A lonely tear trickles from her golden eyes
for all the fear, anguish, hate and lies
for every hungry child who dies
for every mother who cries

Ive got blood on my hands
and for me this punishment stands
shackling me with invisible strands
for all the destruction I've caused to these lands

Awesome sketch!

Awesome! I love this view for Alphonse ^_^ You captured him perfectly.

I use the same technique for highlighting, and I prefer using a single pencil too, though a mechanical is my favorite. I still use other pencils when I have too though.

yeah, i just forget other pencils exist and continue with whatever i have in my hand

You really do have an eye for detail. I love how you contrast the shine of his armor with the gouges Lust made in his shoulder and arms! That was a really nasty fight!
As always, thanks for sharing
