Happy Birthday Indiachick! Gift art.

Well it's already tomorrow in Kerala, so I reckon it is not too early to call this 26th April!
A little birthday gift to one of my favourite, most imaginative ficwriters and lovely girl indiachick - inspired by the beautiful poem Tell it Like it is.
Hope you have a totally spectaculacular birthday!

In the poem, Dean is Charon, ferrying souls of the dead to Hades.
I coloured the drawing in PaintTool Sai and then achieved the overall effect with a texture by musymas on Flickr.

NICE! And I'd not read the poem before, either. Two treats for the price of one!

Ooh I'm glad I drew your attention to the poem then - it's worthy of a read and re-read!
