To LJ's Gallery. There's a couple that have never been posted before. One random Dawn/Connor one that I did for absolutely no reason.
The other is a Connor manip that Karen requested, I guess a couple of years ago, for a teenaged friend who was dying of cancer. The lyrics and inspiration for the pic came from the Linkin Park song "Somewhere I Belong". I listened to the song the whole time I was working on the pic, and I have to admit it was the hardest manip I've ever done because it was so important to both Karen and her friend. Both the song and the theme of the pic are so dark and I really wanted to make a nice, fluffy pic in order to keep the girl's spirits up. It was absolutely impossible to do it, though. I remember commenting to Karen that I was having trouble because I couldn't balance "feel better soon" with "you're gonna die." Karen, who sometimes has a very dark sense of humor, found that hilarious.
Anyway, I decided that enough time had passed to release it into the wild, so to speak. It still gets an emotional response out of me, but the whole point of doing it was for others to enjoy it.
