Crossroads

This one is about the contrast of beauty and pain, nerevars inner conflict of having to prioritize his goals of becoming king over his adoration of voryn, about nerevars past and why he does not want to be in love, his fear and trauma, about voryns dedication to nerevar and attempts to comfort him even when he does not understand him, the tenderness between them. The strip on the left is hard to understand if you dont know my headcanons, but it is supposed to be nerevars past "lover" I also just really wanted to draw nerevar in pearls, i usually portray him as quite a traditionally masculine character so i wanted to make something different this time. This artwork may look a bit different because i decided to use yet another different brush on this and the process was quite messy, i never did the lineart stage. I kind of dont like how messy the anatomy for nerevar is, atleast it always looks wrong to me, but whatever

Yes i did say last time im gonna work on Sil and yes i did infact get distracted

and I also get that it's potentially easy/desirable to divide that piece of animated show canon from actual play canon (ah, the trials and tribulations of fandoms with adaptations), but again I find it fascinating to slide it in there and set it alongside, in particular:

why Essek would continue to collaborate with the Cerberus Assembly after the original motive is moot (I don't like the idea of coercion, I love the idea of that beautiful beautiful sunk cost fallacy/desperation to make something worth it because surely there must be some way of doing so)

why Essek never, as far as we know, says anything about Deirta to anybody

which are both, for me, interesting things to chew on.

and I think it still, as a plotline, retains the fundamental selfishness of Essek's selling the Beacons to the Empire, which is, I think, the important part. there's an appeal to the "pure intellectual hunger for knowledge" motive, for sure, but I also enjoy the concept of a personal motive that is still fundamentally underlain by that same hunger for knowledge. it generates the eternal question of was it really for the potentially more 'justifiable' reason, particularly given that Essek's decision is directly contrary to the wishes/beliefs of the person he is ostensibly doing it for.

and also like. it is compelling to me the idea of Essek at least on some level with clear eyes assessing the possibility of war (likelihood of, he says as much) against the life of one person and going "yeah, worth it."

I used this request to draw Essek and Jester hugging like Matt and Laura at the end of this video :3 Thank you anon 💖
