Kili of the Daisy Clips (Fullsize)
This poor chap has been patiently waiting his turn since early 2022.
Originally, he was meant for a sequel to Revelations, my collab with the super-talented @flow-it-show-it. But then although a lot of the sequel got written, the story took a completely different turn, and the artwork didn't quite fit any more.
Still, me being me, I wanted to draw everything I set out to draw for this verse, so I held back posting anything. I only recently finished the last drawing I wanted for it, thanks to those folks on Discord who regularly talk to me and support me (<3).
I spoke with @flow-it-show-it and we decided to go ahead with posting my secret stash of art for now, so there will be 2 more artworks over the next two weekends. Meanwhile, if you liked Revelations, perhaps you could leave a comment, or show your love and support for the writer, so that the sequel (which I know for a fact is gonna be awesome) also gets the chance to see the light of the day.
And then one day there may or may not be a separate story in the same verse for those 3 artworks that I'm posting now ;)
Kíli’s wearing his daisy hair clips, a tribute of sorts to that night two years ago, when it seemed that some benevolent force had parted the entire city like an ocean so that they could walk directly into each other’s arms. He sticks a sprig of cilantro in the gap between his front teeth and twirls it. Fíli cracks up just looking at him. There’s no need to speak, but much laughter to share.
Far out ahead in front of them, opportunity stretches like a freeway. Beyond the studio, the class room, maybe even the city itself, life and love and success lie in wait. But tonight, the world feels perfect just as it is, everything meshing like the gears and screws of Fíli’s beloved typewriter, no longer mute but capable of writing a future.
