Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I've been here for a long time.

I've fought in the great battles of the world.
I've watched my friends die; one after one passing to someplace behind the veil.

And yet I have nothing to show for it, because when I leave, I will not be following my friends.

Well, maybe just one. maybe I saved him.







FULL VIEW PLEASE :3


This is Kali, one of the less publicized characters from Rapture. She is probably the second oldest ghost in the story, and has been with Bob ever since he ...er....died. Well, they're both ghosts, so death is like birth...or something. I'm rambling.

She is quite attached to him, as you can see in [link] to which this piece is kind of a follow-up.

I can't believe I'm still working on this story. It's been in the works for so long (point of reference, [link] is also kali. from two years ago.)
Usually I would've either finished or canceled the project, but I've really grown attached to these characters and I think that each of them have a little bit of my personality or history, so writing/drawing out this story will let me expose those things that I will never say about myself. Obviously, the true bits are mingled in with 90% fiction so you will never knowwwww :3


anyways, enough of my rambling!
