Description

She knew.  Soon he would come visiting.  Incarnadine and sweet and sad and broken.  Just like her ...

Someday he would be the one all eggshell hollow empty in the dark ...

Someday he would come, and she would tend to him.

~Pat Rothfuss, The Slow Regard of Silent Things

Marta Montell (MartAiConan, martaiconan.deviantart.com/) made this absolutely soul-wrenching sketch of Auri and Kvothe from my favorite scene in Pat Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicle (the aftermath of the plum bob poisoning, Chapter 7 of The Wise Man's Fear), and I asked her permission to paint it.

little SPOILER__Auri_Kvothe Sketch by MartAiConan


I hope she doesn't mind that I added the background (I don't know what to do with white space) and made a couple changes to the figures (I had to move Kvothe's leg because he was falling off the bed, and I added the vest so that the white shirt wouldn't be a focal point).  I had so much fun painting this.  Thanks, Marta!
