Artist's Comments

He pushed the doors open to find her shirt laying over one of the rails.

His first instinct was to grab it up and hunt her down, with the intent of teasingly accusing her of using the console room as a clothesline.

Before his hand reached the fabric, the fact finally sunk in.

She's gone.

It was as if one of his hearts had suddenly stopped working; his chest felt tight with the realization that the beautiful, sunny creature he'd shared his life with - twice over no less - was no longer a part of his universe.

Gulping a breath, he picked up the shirt and instantly his senses were flooded with the same sensations he'd always experienced every time he touched her.

Blindly, he slid down against the wall, holding the shirt in both hands to his face, as if he could hold on to her essence by merely breathing in her lingering scent.

As the tears mercilessly dropped from his eyes, he whispered words into the stillness that no one but his ship would ever understand.

A/N: Unbeta'd ficlet written to accompany the art here. I've been having a rough time (not merely due to online issues), and both the art and fic that it inspired were the result of some very dark moments. This could theoretically take place before the final scenes in Doomsday, but I prefer to imagine this occurring immediately following his departure in The Runaway Bride.

And even though I don't deserve it, thank you all so much for your kind words and support. It's because of you that I don't give up.

The picture was enough to make me want to cry, reading the description almost did me in. I never cry at watching TV/Movies... but the ending of this season had me bawling.

The Doctor: Well if I gambled on that, it'd be an abuse of my privilege as a traveler in time.
Rose: Ten quid?
The Doctor: Done.
:iconadoniax:
Oh ... just ... wow. The Doctor is amazingly well drawn, and the potent emotion in the piece and fic makes me want to cry. Just incredible.

okay... its confirmed it makes me tear up EVERY TIME I see it.
:iconimzy:
You've captured the emotion PERFECTLY in this piece. It's amazing, you've managed to chanal your emotion into that and make it something beautiful. Don't ever listen to the retards who post mean comments. Most of the time they can't do anything and are jealous. They have a good reason to be. You're art is beautiful and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. I've saved many of your pics in my 'Inspiration and reference folder.'

That's because it's inspirational!
It really is!

GORGEOUS work. Never stop drawing! :3

Upon second viewing (and a little recovery time) I would just like to mention again my supreme appreciation, nay, adoration for your constant attention to detail regarding our lovely Mister Tennant. Again, you have taken the time and loving effort to do his freckles (ever so lightly smattered, but perfectly noticable) and his light, yet manly, arm hair. You've re-re-re-reaffirmed your status as my favorite Doctor/Rose artist ever. (which you've never dropped from, btw)

I wish I could find the words to say just how amazing this work of art is, as well as the fic that goes with it. You are turely an amazing artist, don't ever listen to anyone who says otherwise. Your work never ceases to amaze me.
