Artist's Comments

This is a fanart from Legend of Mana. Pictured here are Pearl and Elazul. There is enough evidence in the game to support a Pearl x Elazul wannabe relationship, but there's also enough evidence to deny the existence of such a thing. Basically, it's open to your interpretation. For reasons that seem sound to me (and because I really am a romantic at heart), I support Pearl x Elazul.

However, this is not, to me, a lovey-dovey picture. Just because they're holding each other and he has flowers, does not mean that this picture is the fulfillment of secret desires. Perhaps quite the opposite. My roommate commented that I never draw happy couples. They always look sad, or blank. I hadn't noticed that until she brought it up. They don't look happy. At all. Yet they cling so tightly to each other. Almost as if they're afraid.

The Jumi are a secretive race. They are distrustful, because nearly all of their race has been wiped out. They're "strangers in a strange land." They each have some dark secrets that, should they come to light, would dash another's world to pieces.
At least, that's how it is with Lady Pearl. And should Elazul find out...

I believe that they both know they can't be together, but for different reasons. They each have too many secrets. So it is not a happy, love-filled picture I've drawn. It's a picture of quiet, almost pathetic longing for something that is forever out of reach...

Omg...I LOVE this game. And I loved them as a couple, they were so distant but sweet. This picture actually got me teary eyed, you captured it so perfectly!

Really? I'm glad you like it! Thank you so much for the positive feedback! ^_^

:gasp: :worship: You are amazing... again I bow to your magnificence. :worship: This is an instafave... the way you have them looking so... lost while holding to eachother is just absolutely heart-wrenching. I can definitely see you are a hopeless romantic, but that's ok. It makes your art shine above the rest.

We're born. We live. We fuck. We make mini-versions of ourselves. We die. Rinse and Repeat.

"Hopeless romantic," eh? ^^;; That's the last thing most people who know me would call me. But my art and the comments I put on it are like my journal; it's like a look inside of me, if you will. ^^ So yeah, I am a hopeless romantic, I guess... but only deep inside! :D And thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind and insightful comments. ^_^

Very intricate.

Kind of makes me a little sad.
My boyfriend and I were a lot like that.... wasn't too happy of a relationship. We clung to each other because what little happiness we got from it was better than being alone.
Our relationship was built on secrets.
Yesterday, after a year and a half together, he left me.

Believe me, you're right. They can't be together if they survive by secrets. It doesn't last.

Make tea, not war.

Oh... I'm so sorry to hear that. If the relationship doesn't work, it's better to get out than to cling to vain hopes. But it still hurts very much. And that's a long time to be together and then leave. I'm so sorry. *hug* I hope things turn out all right for you.
:iconmonochromeblues:
*returns hug*
thanks.
It will. I'm just bitter for now.
