Description
We stand, our backs pressed together, our empty hands locked tight.“Hold them out. I want everyone to see,” he says.
I spread out my fingers, and the dark berries glisten in the sun. I give Peeta’s hand one last squeeze as a signal, as a good-bye, and we begin counting. “One.” Maybe I’m wrong. “Two.” Maybe they don’t care if we both die. “Three!”
My tribute to one of my favorite books ever: “The hunger games”. I really couldn’t help but to fall in love with it. One of those books that give this special feeling to you, you can’t really understand or classify. That keeps making you think about it over and over, even days after you finished reading it.
I strongly recommend this to every teenager who loves science fiction, action, adventure and romance all in one!
The hunger games, Peeta and Katniss are © Suzanne Collins

This is beautiful. I love the colours, the detail and Katniss' expression the most.
Have you read the other two books in the series? If not I strongly recommend them.

You're welcome!
And I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly on that one. Though I'm not entirely happy with some of the deaths that occurred in Mockingkay...

I loved that scene from the book because it was so dramatic I thought what if they accidentally swallowed the berries?

Mapvee In reply to AsianGraphics6 [2011-09-08 21:48:39 +0000 UTC]
Then there would be no Catching Fire and no Mochingjay

I just reread Hunger Games and this image is so perfect for what I imagined. The first time and this time, and many times after, I'm sure. The looks of their faces, the tension in the arms of the hands they hold just gets me.

Hahaha Thanks for that nuance...
I guess I feel flattered. But you're not crying because of the drawing but because of the scene itself as explained on the book (It's so awesome)
Anyway, thanks!

This is gorgeous! I love the bright colors and the detailed background. Katniss and Peeta's expressions are great. They're filled with so much emotion. The same goes with their posture/body language. You did an excellent job with drawing this scene.
