The Lovers
Added 2022-02-09 00:11:37 +0000 UTCI have a shameful number of thumbnails for Dragon Age inspired Tarot cards, but this is one of the few that made it to a finished piece. Everything but the face gave me hell on this piece, and I feel like you can see and feel where I lost steam. It's always hard for me to balance my love of abstract shapes and scratchy lines with my love of a rendered face, the softness of round skin.
This scene in The Old Guard, in its modern context, is one tumblr still fixates on. It's bleeding heart poetics and tooth-rotting adoration between two men who started their lives killing each other over and over and over. The Old Guard is fun. I hope its sequel is good.
