"There are endings. There are beginnings. Sometimes they coincide, with the ending of one thing marking the beginning of another. But sometimes there is simply a long space after an ending, a time when it seems everything else has ended and nothing else can ever begin."

Fool's assassin - @therealrobinhobb

4/5 interior illustration for Assassin’s Quest!!

Spend hours deciding on how to draw Beloved’s face just to lighten everything up in end 🫠 But honestly I like this version better, it has more emotional weight in it, I think, and better visualises of how Skill and this whole merging of souls might feel like idk (if you ever merged souls with someone let me know if I did a good job of illustrating it lol). The whole composition was inspired by Beloved’s realisation of Fitz’s true feelings towards him and just in general the feeling of truly knowing someone from deep inside, like a fog finally clearing and you can see a full picture. For someone who self-gaslights a lot (not pointing finger at you, Fitz) knowing something or someone’s feelings for certain would mean a great deal, hence, this illustration is much warmer than others.

Also, chronologically this illustration is supposed to be the last one but the last one that I’m gonna to share is double page spread so it made more sense (for me) to leave it for the end 🤷🏽

There is something about fitloved in an opera. . . (i had a similar drawing in October in black and white, same vibe)
