Nora's Comfort

Original sketch: https://www.patreon.com/posts/grief-22986454
Expanded quite a bit from the original sketch. This piece was originally worked on earlier in the year. I had it marked as "complete" in my work folder, not realizing it hadn't been finished and posted yet. Whoops! Luckily I was reminded of this and managed to put a lot of finishing touches to the final image.
Hope you like the final result! I enjoy doing emotional scenes like these. Nora isn't always so irreverent. She doesn't like to take life seriously, but even she gets emotional sometimes.

"I was going to be a dad, Nora. We were going to grow old together and watch our child grow up. And then those... ANIMALS, took them both from me. I have nothing now." "You do, Trace. Even if you cannot see it at the moment."

Tom, since you considered this Nora's Card published, there are 8 more works that have not yet been published, but on stream looked more or less complete. Perhaps they are also marked as “finished” by you, but they have not yet been published :( I would like to see them someday too :) Here's a complete list: 1.

Nora's dialogue adds so much to her. Well done...but it's gut-wrenching to say the least. Not only was Nora unable to alleviate her friend's grieving, she was forced to watch as he became a nightmare incarnate...the tragedy strikes hard.

There is a short play by Samuel Becket, a play about mourning. The last line, as I recall, is "There is nothing left to tell". When my wife died, I spent a lot of time dwelling on what I could have done differently. Sometimes I still do. It is doesn't matter, though. There is nothing left to tell.

Tom pulls NO punches when it comes to backgrounds, man's a legend.

All things pass. Even pain. Wise words from a wise dragon.

And yet Trace ignored the wise and ancient dragon's wisdom and created a convoluted plan where he would transfer his wife's soul into the body of an unsuspecting tavern maid... THIS IS WHY YOU LISTEN TO NORA!

Amazing image.

Great work! A very emotional piece. It's really different from the usual fare here, and I like that variety.

2/10 Lacks Miss Nibs Just kidding of course :P Wonderful piece. Glad you finished it!

Hmm... She says "again" so perhaps not?

I know we're supposed to focus on Trace and Nora here, but holy smokes, the detail on that foliage is simply next level!

This is a MASTERPIECE !

Trace broke that promise. ;-; Let that sink in a little.
