Absalom and Aris.
Oooooookay. So, colouring this took all day, mainly because I'm easily distracted...by youtube, forums, tv and the bird. Nonetheless, this SOB is finished. Dunno if I like it coloured....I'm sorta fond of the lineart...
Anyhoo. As y'all may or may not know, Absalom (Mr. Evil britches seen en left) is my villain for 'the story'. Lol, ~tamesr, now I know why you said it reminded you of ElfQuest...Absalom looks like a male Leetah that dresses like Jafar! Dangit...
Aris is Ab's servanty person. The kingdom that is Ab's base used to be ran by Aris's famileh. Ab killed them, took over the place and raised Aris to use him as a double. Sure, you can see lots of differences side by side, but to people who've never seen Absalom, or have only heard rumours of fiery hair and emerald eyes, it'd be surprisingly hard to tell the two "apart" when Aris is in costume.
Besides being a life insurance policy and a personal servant, Absalom has also "entrusted" (and I use the term lightly...more like superglued, lol) his phylactery to Aris, which pretty much renders him immortal. And powerful, thanks to his heritage....with a heaping helping of mind-blowing crazy, thanks to...being a whack-job >_>.
I suppose you could read that Ab's the dominant one from the slanted middle line....but that's just my inability to draw straight. The only conscious 'symbolic' choices were the colours (red, black and gold vs red, white and gold) and the mask behind Aris's head, done in Ab's colours. I guess to signify he's always watchin, lawl.
Uhhhhhm, dunno what else to say. It's 3am....I'm outta here.
Absalom n Aris are mine.
Why the flowers? IDK, I like pretty stuff.
