The other original painting crafted for this chapter is by Hazelgee (https://twitter.com/Haze_gee), and features a more intimate moment between a mother rhino and Barnes. I really enjoyed the idea of a wide shot of the bulk of the group, and then a close-up shot of these two, leading to Barnesās firstĀ realĀ smile as things justā¦ fall into place. :)
Also credit where credit is due: trying to frame a scene with a massive, thrilled rhino āgreetingā Barnes was no easy task, and Hazelgee pulled it off wonderfully from end-to-end! This feels like the culmination of so much, and fun fact: she also paintedĀ this adorable image of Okoye and a baby rhino!
Please check out HazelgeeāsĀ siteĀ andĀ TwitterĀ to see more of her beautiful art and fan content! She has such a lovely and emotive style.
While Iām forever thankful for the talented artists that have contributed to this project, I also want to thank so many of them for being willing to hand tight on sharing their respective pieces until I work my way through the story beats where I can share their lovely, illustrated scenes and tooth-rotting fluff. :) Thanks for helping keep me inspired to see this project through!
