Part 2 – The Final Afterglow
The terrible arcs of destruction descended from the skies and laid waste to the centers of civilization in a shimmering and devastating blast of finality. The remnants and symbols of everlasting empires crumbled before the fire of the apocalypse and were blown away like the ashes and dust from a dying hearth. Only silence and the afterglow remained, painting the skies with blood red and crimson at twilight.
Captain Leyla Hahn stood by the edge of the remote base camp made up of a ragtag team of pilots, mercenaries and investigators from many countries. She was completely frozen with shock and disbelief, and her thoughts and expression were echoed throughout all who were present. The years that they have spent trying to uncover a mysterious plot all ended in catastrophic failure as all eyes were helplessly fixated on the glowing red horizon. It all happened so quickly, an unexpected moment of utter surprise and horror.
Life, humanity, and all things embraced with familiarity, had vanished and now simply exist as memories past. Tomorrow will be a very different day.
ho yeah another good work from u my friend... everything is so well composed... but one thing, dont u think the light casted on the sunglass a bit harsh? or maybe i'm wrong... but i guess everything is so nice... i kinda like the whole color scheme for this...
Thanks very much for the critique! I tried to use the sunglasses as an inner reflection of what she is seeing, but I could definitely play around with it some more and see if I can get different results
Your work is getting more and more intricate, but you still manage to keep it simple and easy to read. I love the colors in this one a lot! And if she's looking off in the distance, her glasses would be reflecting the light off camera. So I don't think it's too harsh.
One thing, though...Her expression comes off a little calmer and almost hopeful. I'm not sure if that's what you were going for, or if you wanted her to look shocked. If that's the case, then I think curving the edges of the lips down a little more (since it looks like she's almost smiling).
I don't know..just a suggestion. This is still one of my favorites of yours. Ah, the colors!!!
Thanks so much for the wonderful comment and the in depth critique! What you see right now (referring to the shades) is actually more toned down from the initial version. You could see the brightness of the originals in my scraps
I'll go ahead and adjust her lips with your suggestion Yeah, you're right, there's more hope than horror at the moment and i think the adjustment should fix that!
We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

Loving everyone, and wanting nothing, is the key to appearing immortal in the eyes of a Greater God.
