Lost November

Nari yamanu kane ni tsugerareru no wa mezame, kimi no nai genjitsu
Mirai o hikikae ni kimi o negaeba tadori tsukerudeshou

A sudden silence following the ringing bells made me wake up, to a reality without you
The future is unsettled, you can do nothing but wish to reach your dreams

This is one of the few things I have drawn while I was ill. It is a portrait I drew for my mother, one she had asked me if I would draw for her for so long.

I did not even take long. A few sittings, maybe 10 or 12 hours, I imagine. It's made all in pencil on normal heavy paper and it's about 20x25 cm.

The title and the quote is from the Japanese visual kei band DIAURA's song Lost November. It fit my feelings at the time.
