“We are gods, Kelsier,” Preservation said with a voice that trailed off, then grew louder, then trailed off again. “We permeate everything. The rocks are me. The people are me. And him. All things persist, but decay. Ruin… and Preservation…”
I needed three years of constant practice to give these pieces the artstyle they deserved, and I am very glad that I let Ruin marinate a bit (read: forget about the WIP's existence) before coming back to finish it. Then giving Preservation a redraw. The colours look much, much better side by side than I expected, though I legit did not realise I gave them postures and angles so similar to one another. Anyways, here they are together, since they are a package deal.
