"Des Flammes aux Cendres"
"Flames to Ashes" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FULL VIEW PLEASE!! Thank you~ Fanart of (long-hair) Luke and Asch, from TotA. Been awhile since I made full pencil work like this, hope I improved @___@ I've done research to draw this, so I'd appreciate if you guys take the time to read the following description. If lazy, you can skip lolz~ >_____> Spoiler-free, by the way... * The flowers in the middle are various species of gaillardias (or blanket flowers), their significance of which should be apparent (I hope, swt) to anyone who's played TotA ^_~ The flowers on Luke's side are gladioli, which represent "strength of character", "sincerity", "give me a break" and "infatuation", which can be associated to him. Asch gets petunias (no, they're not morning glories >_< ) which symbolizes "anger" and "resentment", characteristics that are.... well, Asch. *swt* Lastly, the title itself is flames (Luke) to ashes (Asch). While a more accurate word is "light" for Luke, "flames" would suit the whole title better. Thank you for reading~ * More TotA fanart: [link] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments and critiques most welcomed! - Tales of the Abyss (c) Namco. - Flower references from Google Images. - Flower meanings from various sites by Googling "flower meanings". - Credits to Neon for helping me with the title and choice of flowers (and also introducing this wonderful game to me). EDIT: Thank you so much  for correcting the title for me!!! >//////< *lotsa hugz* |

Band Nerds rule and you know it. 8D

Just a little thing about the title, I think 'Des flammes aux cendres' would be more correct (if you meant 'from flames to ashes') ^^

You like ice cream. You like ice cream. You love it. You cannot resist ice cream. To resist is hopeless. Your existence is meaningless without ice cream.

And, well, I'm glad you went to so much trouble to research those flowers and their meanings, it's the mark of a dedicated artist and professional.
