Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams by @Merenwen (Sara Patterson)

This is an illustration for the last scene In "Piccolo and ChiChi. The group shot was a completely seperate drawing from Piccolo. I really like the sadness in this...The quote is what Piccolo says when Chichi confronts him.

Oh man. I'm still utterly dumbfounded. You pulled so much emotion out of me with this that I am literally breathless. Utterly, completely breathless. Words can't even describe it, but I'll try.

The way you have him, with one hand clenched and the other digging into the ground. His agony is palpable. You couldn't have drawn it better. blush Not to mention that that is probably the absolute sexiest picture I've EVER seen of Piccolo! I just wanna print it up and hang it over my computer!!! You made him VERY anatomically masculine, his muscles and the coloring and shading... Just WOW. drool shudder And you gave him the white pants and vest AND the earring, without making him look any less male. drools again

There is SOOOO much emotion. Soo much. And the fact that you put Chi Chi (who is adorable, btw - love her hair and her outfit), and Gohan and cutest little Goten in the background - all happy, and grayed out (NICE touch, btw) - it truly showed what he was losing. It was like, 'how could he not love them?'

And using the color gray made it a fading thing...as though he'd already lost them. Brilliant. And he's so colorful in the forefront. Just wow, Sara.

I love the use of butterflies, too. They're such a cheery insect. It just adds to the contrast. You're a artistic genius, my friend. I'm still just stunned.
I LOVE THIS SHOT. It's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Again, I wonder how it is that I'm so lucky that an artist as skilled as yourself is drawing pictures from my stories. HUGS

OMG!! Beautiful work!! Bucky gave me the link to this image, 'cause I was ranting to her about how she has so many fanarts dedicated to her work than me. And I don't regret clicking it!!

Wonderfully shaded--Piccolo especially! His clothing, the necklace that Goten made, and the tears... Gah! Beautiful stuff. Compliments to you on the work, and Compliments to Bucky on giving me the link to your work.

This is quite beautiful. I like the use of color for just the foreground picture.

grinz awesome..... heh. Bucky's such an awesome author.... and I have to say, the pic here's gorgeous. Chi-Chi and Gohan's faces seem rushed, but everything else is beautiful- especially the distraught Pikkoro-sama at the bottom..... love your lines, love your coloring job- love that outfit. winks, giggles ooh, he's sexy there..... nuzzles the poor baby I felt so bad for him in that fic... smacks Son, growls baka.... that was evil of him..... kicks he's so oblivious he didn't even realize it though.. shakes head, sighs I'm glad Pic+CC got together.... smiles brightly gorgeous, gorgeous picture.

Oh my gosh,

I just got through reading Bucky's fic, "Piccolo and Chichi." That was honestly the best fic I've ever read in my life. Before I read the last two chpaters I noticed your picture. OH MY GOSH, I was spellbound, it took my breath away. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

I can draw mediocre and I color well, but you leave me far, FAR behind! I would love to ask for you for some tips, if you ever want to talk or chat I'd have many questions to ask you. You know my email.

Thank you so much for the...ASTOUNDING picture. Your captured the beautiful emerald glow of his skin so well, the pain, angst,sorrow and hoplesness of his situation, and Chichi, Gohan and Goten all in the background...simply marvelous. SHEER GENIUS to add the gray shades, and the butterflies. I nearly cried when i saw this picture. THANK YOU SO MUCH! God bless you! Love ya!

In Christ, Tenshi
