Art: River

[orange_crushed]

Rewatching Serenity last night and thinking about dialogue; specifically, Joss Whedon's very real knack for turning dialogue into speech. Haven't seen it in forever, and it's so easy to fall into, people talking in their own very real idioms; loving, hurting, becoming.

A sketch of River came out; but honestly what I had in mind was the work ofthe_grynne and hereswith, because they always manage to show me River the person, while she's busy living River the experiment, the legend. I have some re-reading to do this week, you guys. ;)

It's the fist that makes it for me, sweetheart. Wistful and dreaming, the tilt of her head, but at the same time, that fist is so contained, like a ballast to her reverie.

I adore her girlish chubbiness. Gorgeous.
