This is really a beautiful piece, Leela. I think the softness of the pencil made it the perfect tool. Your interpretation of Mara is very much genuine; she is human, flawed, imperfect, not gorgeous, and portrayed here as a character I would like to get to know. Your Luke, of course, is wonderful. You got everything right: the size of his hands, the lightness of his eyes belying his age here, the bits of silver in his hair, and hers as well....I love this. Was there a story this was to be connected to?

No, there wasn't a story. belovedranger wanted to give rubraaura something special for her birthday, and as a thankyou for being her beta reader. :~)
I'm so glad to hear you liked my rendition of Luke, Sue! I tried to make him a little older than he was in Jedi, yet not as old as Mark looks now.
