Until After

"...Did you lose someone in your family, too?"

"No... Not someone from my family. It was a friend... someone, well... very important... But I didn't know... I didn't know until after I lost her. And I realized how much she meant to me--how her smile saved me... And how I'll never be able to argue or laugh with her like that again..."

"I see... You loved her, didn't you...?"

Lelouch and Shirley from Code Geass

I'm almost done watching Code Geass for third time through. And this scene particularly sparked some inspiration in me. The overall theme of this picture is "you don't know how much you have until you lose it." That's a lesson I've learned many times over too many times. So I could somewhat sympathize with Lelouch in this scene. And yes, I am a LelouchxShirley shipper.

And I think I got my "art spark" back. I think quality-wise, this comes close to [link] . So I look forward to the pictures I'll draw in the future. Maybe next time I'll livestream, too.
