....SIGH. I have been sitting on this one for months and finally decided to at least post a WIP-version of it!
It's far from finished, rough around the edges, missing details and the final piece will be bigger, but I adore it so far and thus had to share with the class.
Seifer and Squall on the morning before the SeeD exam in Dollet (because let's be real, someone had to take care of Squall after he passed out all the way out there).
My Arisen for Dragon's Dogma 2 - a grown up version of the Arison I play in DD: DA.
He's an assassin who cares for his own benefit first and foremost, and greatly enjoys the godlike status his Pawn sees in him, worshipping him while being his shield.
His wedding gift, clasped around my throat.
A choker of rubies, two inches wide, like an extraordinarily slit throat.
โธป Angela Carter: The Bloody Chamber
I will leave it to you whether or not the wedding is literal or metaphorical ... or both.
The design is inspired by the Cartier Patiala Ruby Choker, combined with a blood drop pearl necklace design.
A speedpaint of Wesker and Chris (post village as per my fic) I did for background / color practise and because I had to get this idea out of my system.
I learned so so much this year and was able to improve on so many levels, I'm truly humbled. It's been a lot of fun to dive back into art full force and am already excited to see where next year might take me.
A rather quick painting I did of Dana Scully from the X-Files as I am currently rewatching the series. I wanted to draw her because her fight against cancer is extremely moving throughout seasons 3 and 4.
