Visual Language Things in Improbable Cause/The Die Is Cast that are driving me INSANE
the stuff they do with light and shadow in these episodes is just. someone went 'I know artists who use subtlety and they're all cowards' and they were so right for that
are you telling me... that this man is caught between light and dark in this moment and hasn't yet decided which side his soul is going to come down on in the end. hm. interesting. (especially cool that when the shadows of his face are lit up in the runabout at the end, that's when you see the damage underneath. he's partially made that choice and he's illuminated, but not by a comforting light yet, those are danger colours. odo and garak bonding on a day trip to hell; the episode)
I think this shot is ultimately my touchpoint for the visual language set up in this episode -- julian bashir standing there in 'wherever you have to go, come home to this afterwards' light as garak walks into the shadows (and towards tain). where does the light in his life come from currently? we may have a clue before us folks
(This one is literally just because his expression here makes my chest feel weird and aching. oof. I feel like this is one of the rare times he lets himself be really openly soft because he must know there's a decent chance he's not coming back)
aaaand what's the very first thing that greets him once he 'returns to the light' so to speak? :) little bit of a moral and emotional horror show in the middle there admittedly but thanks to odo he did come home and no one like. died or anything. well. many many people died but that honestly wasn't his fault or responsibility. we'll call it a victory
some really cool odo shots too in this ep. I love you constable this was so fucking extra for no reason
fun little detail: when the defiant starts shaking upon taking fire, Julian immediately puts his hand on Garak's shoulder -- the same way and on the same side as Garak did to Tain minutes before, when Odo had to fucking. knock him out to make him let go. (again: odo I love you. a direct and decisive thinker above all)

Its very funny to me that this website loves to pat itself on the back about being the only site without an Algorithm and then no one fuckin reblogs stuff. Do y'all understand that YOU are supposed to be the algorithm? If no one can get any traction they're just gonna leave the site and you're gonna have a site with no content lol.
I'm just sayin the like/reblog ratio that I've been seeing is fucking bleak. They should honestly just remove the Like function bc its not doing anyone any favors.

Day 13 - Abyss Beneath a Smile
@arcvmonth I saw the prompt for antagonistic characters and just knew I had to draw Yuri for it, since he's one of my favorite characters in arc v, so here he is!!
I also wanted to include the lineart, since I really like how it turned out :]
