Happy Birthday Indiachick! Gift art.

[amberdreams]

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.

The poem is sad and beautiful. Your visual fits it well!

Oh thank you, I hoped it would complement the poem so it's great your think it does.
