Random request week result #2 for

Brief was to create "something with Lucy and Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia? maybe her and Aslan hugging? really anything with them. ...it would also be great if you made them look like how they are portrayed in the movies ... ".

Funny coincidence that I got to draw Narnia-themed stuff again for a random request week (and I got a few requests for other Narnia-related pieces). Not that I mind, I loved the books as a kid. First I wanted to draw the cute little Lucy of the first movie for this, make it a happy hug but the more I thought about Narnia the more I didn't want that. The one thing that always struck me about Narnia was the tough lesson it gave to children on dealing with how to let go and say goodbye. Part of me always wanted to scream that it's not fair, Narnians get to live there always yet the human children visiting once they grow too big they can't go back. When I did the last Narnia request piece with Aslan and Susan I got a lot of comments about how "how could you draw Susan, she's such a traitor/forgot Narnia" yet is denial not just one of many coping mechanisms when you lose something you love beyond all else? It wasn't something the children were told off the bat, for all of them there came a moment when it clicked; that some day all of it would end and they would never see Aslan or anyone else again. So it had to be a slightly older Lucy who would understand the loss.

Brown and white ink, watercolours.

Thank you.

you're welcome

You really captured both of them

Its a lovely picture. It is sad when they have to leave Narnia but I think that the last book really says how they all get to be with Aslan again and in a new Narnia. So they do end up back together again.

Thank you and yes I got comments about that already, I just didn't remember the last book too well myself as it's such a long time since I read it.

Aaaaah! Oh it's so lovely!! I adore how you captures Aslan! Truly mind blowing!

~TaijaVigilia Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thank you.

This is really Beautiful! I think you did particularly well on Aslan, animals are so hard to draw I think, and you did great!

~TaijaVigilia Nov 21, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thank you.
