Don't Go Before I Do

Lee Scoresby & Hester (His Dark Materials)

"Hester, don't you go before I do," Lee whispered. "Lee, I couldn't abide to be anywhere away from you for a single second," she whispered back. Lee saw the fireball and heard through the roar in his ears Hester saying, "That's all of 'em, Lee." He said, or thought, "Those poor men didn't have to come to this, nor did we." She said, "We held 'em off. We held out. We're a-helping Lyra." Then she was pressing her little proud broken self against his face as close as she could get, and then they died. Cp. 14 ll The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman

A year ago I read the sequel of The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and made a review of it. Today, I finally post the art and upload the video of the review.It feels so good but sooo bad to post this a yer later hehe.

I did a design of Lee Scoresby and Hester, and a cough, very specific scene from the second book. Which I loved. And it killed me a little. I'm happy with this piece a year later is all I can say (:

Here's the review/in-depth discussion of the book on YouTube if you want to check it out ✨ you can watch me draw this art here:
