Go, Lovely Rose.

Description

Go, lovely rose!
Tell her that wastes her time and me
That now she knows,
When I resemble her to thee,
How sweet and fair she seems to be.

Tell her that's young,
And shuns to have her graces spied,
That hadst thou sprung
In deserts, where no men abide,
Thou must have uncommended died.

Small is the worth
Of beauty from the light retired;
Bid her come forth,
Suffer herself to be desired,
And not blush so to be admired.

Then die! that she
The common fate of all things rare
May read in thee;
How small a part of time they share
That are so wondrous sweet and fair!


-Edmund Waller

First time drawing Cheria. I randomly got the idea to do this last night after I put up the Leia picture. I sang a choral arrangement of this poem a while back, and for some reason I got some Cheria vibes from it, don't know why, probably the "graces" part tbh.

Cheria is a lot of fun to draw, but at the same time she's such a bitch to draw. Her outfit (especially the brooch, or whatever the fuck that butterfly looking thing is) is so complex, I'm surprised I didn't have to scrap this piece and start over.

I also looked up a how-to on drawing roses, so for once the rose doesn't suck. So thanks to whoever it was who put the tutorial up.
