There's Always Beauty

Description

"The sun, halved by the ocean's horizon, seemed bigger and more golden than it had any right to be, a huge scoop of toffee ice cream melted into the pavement. The sky above it reached out for Seth and  Gudmund with dark pinks and blues, the scattered clouds vibrant trumpets of colour.

"You turn away from that crappy little beach," Gudmund said, "away from all the rocks and the waves that won't let you swim and there's no place to picnic with your nice sandwiches and the wind will blow your whole tedious little family away if you don't keep them tethered to you. But then you look out into the ocean. And, well, there it is."

"Beauty," Seth said, not looking at the sunset, but at Gudmund's profile lit by that same sun."

"And it was summer again, it was months before, and Gudmund smiled at him off the cliff's edge, the sunset casting his face in gold.

"There's always beauty," he said. "If you know where to look."

_{Drawing of Seth and Gudmund from Patrick Ness' novel (which is genius, brilliant and a work of art) More Than This. My interpretation of how I kinda imagined the characters Gudmund's hair is meant to look a little like Sirius Black's hair/Ezra Miller's hair in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but I kept going over with colour and it ended up looking like a very bad afro... My bad.}

This is really amazing! I like how you portrayed the characters, and the background is really good, as well! I love it~
I just finished the book, and I think it deserves more fan art than it has. It was a really good book.
