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

Would it be a good book for a non-teenager to read?
Great job!

hm, I don't know, I've never been asked. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. In general, the Hunger Games is an exciting story with a few great twists and an intersting sci-fi setting. You'd probably like it if you like love and adventure stories. But if you're looking for something deep and strongly philosophical I wouldn't recommend it...

Hah! Nobody was counting on that happening! Not only did that secure them a double victory, they had all of Panem cheering for them and more or less completely embarrassed the Capitol! Take that, President Snow!

Aaaw this is really wonderful!!! Its really like a Romeo and Juliet scene. No wonder the crowd loves them. They really fell for the star crossed lovers act. The only glitch is the fact that Katniss didn't love Peeta like he loves her. Still good job gurl!

Ah, you never know, maybe she does (love Peeta the way he loves her...). We'll have to wait for the third book!
Thanks so much for the comment, the fav and the WATCH, omg!!

brilliant,brilliant,brilliant! I totally get how you can spend 6-8 hours on this- you put in effort in all the details! I myself spend loads of time on one drawing... I can't seem to get any faster

Mapvee In reply to fluffsnstuff [2010-01-27 17:25:49 +0000 UTC]
thanks, thanks, thanks!!
it actually doesnt feel like so many ours when youre having so much fun drawing and adding colour...
what you say about yourself happens to me too. i think the solution is to leave the drawing for a couple of hours and when you return to it after a while, you usually are able to see many mistakes all of a sudden... but when it doesnt work i just quit drawing it and pass xDD
you joined today, right? wlecome!! and thanks again

Hi!
I know my replying to this comment right now is pretty weird, but i was kind of going through all of them again (out of boredom, basically) and i read yours. I doubt you're still interested, but a year and a half later i have, indeed, drawn another Hunger Games picture. I doubt this one is as nice as the first one, people don't seem to be very pleased with it... Anyways, here's the link [link]

this looks so much like both of them, especially their body types....and the colour of Katniss' hair is awesome
Very nicely done!
Buuut, aren't they supposed to be on top of the cornucopia for this? :S I dunno, it's been a long time since I've read it... >.< But this is amazing!

Thanks so much!
About the cornucopia... I think I drew this some days after I finished the book, plus, I did it so fast (the intrigue, you know ) maybe I skiped some "details" so you may be right O.o You made me curious abour it! I'll check it out
Thanks again!
