Rue, Ophelia

Ophelia is from William Shakespeare's play, Hamlet, which I both hate and love. As it turns out, I both hate and love Ophelia too. But, mostly love. She starts out as a complete innocent and gradually becomes beautiful and deranged with the knowledge of her role and her personal grief.

This may mean that I'll be taking a break from the savages and civis for a while. Whenever I get into an Ophelia mood, she tends to just take over and, since she's such a personal subject, I can't really deny her. We'll see though. Those other people are just as important to me. Just in a different way.

Oh yes. And here is the original sketch that this piece came from:
