Viendras-tu, oh, viendras-tu
Me retrouver au grand arbre
Porter un long collier de chanvre à mes côtés.
Des choses étranges s’y sont vues
Et moi, j’aurais tant aimé
Te revoir à minuit à l’arbre du pendu

Wings stir the sunlit dust
of the cathedral in which
the Past is buried
to its chin in marble.

And so we come to the sixth (!) and final piece in the troll girl painting series. This one took forever to complete due to the fact that it has an actual background, instead of abstract shapes. Needless to say, I’m a bit sick of trees and statues right now. @__@;

Sorry for the blinding (heh) saturation; I’ll fix that as well soon.

I tried my best to make the colors in this scan match those of the original, but everything came out either too red or too blue. I’ll keep trying nonetheless; expect a better version in the near future. I’m worried that this painting looks more like one of Redglare due to TZ’s more, erm, mature attributes. -__-;

Terezi didn’t interest me much when I first started reading the comic, but I now count her as one of my favorite characters out of the whole cast.

Pencils, watercolors, gold watercolor pigments, silver Speedball ink, and Copic markers on hot press paper.
