"Stolen Hope"

Heyy everyone! Dropping this new illustration to complete the endpaper set for the Dutch special edition of A CURSE FOR TRUE LOVE by Stephanie Garber! I offered to illustrate this scene, because it's PEAK and because it's another chance to tackle another one of Stephanie's amazing tree concepts.

I usually take quotes from the books to title these pieces, and 'Stolen Hope' caught my eye for a different reason. In context, it was describing Jacks at the end of it all, giving up on any chance of true love or breaking his kissing curse. Evangeline in turn, is stealing back the hope he's lost, and acting upon it herself.

I'm so emotional over Jacks in this piece; the droop in his shoulders and strain in his face just shows how tired he was from struggling so long. He honestly deserves all the apple pie Eva will bake for him in the future.

New licensed prints, overlays and foiled bookmarks have dropped in the shops, including for this piece! Check them out at the link in my bio! :)

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

The Dual Forms of Ares

and what if i told you that ares’ youthful beauty is essential to his characterization of brutality? that the violence a prideful young man can inflict is some of the most frightening of all?
