liviladoodles:@septembriseur This is an illustration for The Unaccommodated Man by kvikindithat I envisaged when I read it weeks ago. Particularly from this moment, which I loved.“He does not think that James would ever, ever strike him. But he feels him grip his shoulders very hard, so hard that it hurts, fingers digging into muscle.James says hoarsely, “I don’t want you to. I don’t want you to have to do that.” He does not loosen his grip, but he pushes his face against Thomas’s shoulder and it takes Thomas a little while to understand that James is weeping, his tears hot through the wet cloth of Thomas’s shirt. He covers one of James’s hands with his own. “I’m sorry,” he says again. “James, I’m so sorry.” And they ride for a long time just like that.”About 12 hours in all - brush pen and 01 pen. It’s probably too busy all over- the figures are not completely working for me, but I used no BS refs other than shots of random people sitting on horses together. But I’m really happy with the live oaks and the water flow. And the horse, he works quite well. I enjoyed doing this - twisty trees and Bernie Wrightson as inspiration. This was looming in my mind as a “big thing”, I did a fair amount of planning for this one, I did quite a few sketches of Thomas & James but they were not “right” and a trial tree with the brush pen.Eventually, I got started ^_^Eta: Better picture. -- source link
