- T. Connor (1944)

Inspired by a popular song from the early 20th century.Time would come for roll call,Time for us to part,Darling I'd caress youAnd press you to my heart,And there 'neath that far-off lantern light,I'd hold you tight,We'd kiss good night,My Lili of the Lamplight,My own Lili Marleen.Orders came for sailing,Somewhere over thereAll confined to barrackswas more than I could bearI knew you were waiting in the streetI heard your feet,But could not meet,My Lili of the Lamplight,my own Lili Marleen.Medium: Photoshop and Wacom tabletTime taken: estimated between 20 and 40 hours, spread over several daysReferences: i41.tinypic.com/2lm5ra8.jpg Time for some truth! When I said this was inspired by "Lili Marleen", I lied. In reality it was inspired by the Tintin fanfiction "Homecoming" which you can find on archiveofourown.org and on the Tintin kink meme on dreamwidth.So, yes, there's a Tintin version of this painting - to be precise, a Tintin/Haddock slash version, and you can see it on my fangirl blog: Ruined childhood this way ------------
