Keep in mind that I doodled this while I was reading the [i]Let the right one in[/i] novel and had yet to see the movie, so I didn't go for a specific likeness with the actress who plays Eli... who was a VERY good casting choice anyway (seriously, practically the whole cast was). I just loved the whole Rubik's cube thing anyway. Perhaps because I had a Rubik's cube in the 80's, too :-D
I have read the book and I think it's brilliant! John Ajvide Lindqvist is probably swedens best horror-writer I like the way he shows us that humans can be more monstrous than the "true monsters", thinking of the guys who bully Oskar... The movie was good too, they had taken away most of the worst parts from the book, and put the focus Eli and Oskar's relationship...
This painting is great, I think you have captured the character in a very nice way!

Thank you! (and yay someone who read the book!) Honestly I liked the subplots that didn't make it to the film, but I also can see why the director cut them. I think that in a novel you can digress more, while some parts that I loved in book form (i.e. Eli's flashbacks) would have looked cheesy on film.
I really like the way you coloured it, besides hands look perfect, fav of course.

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
