Art: Vengeance in Her Eyes

"I should have known. The signs were there from the very beginning, but I was too stricken with grief to see them.

It's no coincidence that every stone unturned lead to a dead end. No stroke of misfortune that everything surrounding Daniel's death was shrouded in mystery.

That bastard.

That vile bastard.

It wasn't just him. It was never just him.

The local minister, the head surgeon, the chief of police- every last one of them was in on it from the start.

They had the nerve to tell me I was going mad, becoming delusional, all the while relishing in the knowledge that I spoke a truth nobody would believe.

That they ALL took my beloved Daniel away from me.

But no matter.

If there can be no justice in the eyes of the law,

no itegrity in the world of medicine,

and no judgement in the house of God,

I shall have to take matters into my own hands."

~ the final entry in Mary Barnbellow's diary, dated October 10th 1943

A spur of the moment Barnbellow's Estate piece, featuring Yuna about to meet a particularly grizzly end at the hands- and blade- of Mary Barnbellow, no longer the rich socialite she was in life, twisted beyond reason into a being of pure anger and rage with nothing but vengeance in her eyes.

I'm really pleased with the perspective and composition of this one; I could nitpick it to hell and back for inconsistencies or the things it doesn't have (proper shadow shading on Yuna herself), but it communicates the idea I wanted to get across better then if I'd attempted this idea even only a year ago. It's gradual, but there has been noted improvement in my artistic capabilities, however small, and I'm very grateful for that.

... and yes, I tweaked Yuna's default outfit yet again. I swear, this is the last time- I am absolutely positive I'm happy with this rendition of it. Pinkie swear. No more adjustments.
