I have to talk about Renato (@pointdotiozao). This is the sixth time I've commissioned him, and I cannot recommend him enough. He's taken everything from a text description from a fic to a near exact replica of a complex movie scene to the piece earlier this year, a relatively straightforward reference to a photograph, and each time created something wonderful.

This time I gave him my own VP set as inspiration for a post-coital cigarrette; a TL;DR about Phantom Liberty to that moment; and a vague reference to "lots of emotions". This is what he delivered — a gorgeous, emotionally wrought piece.

So many beautiful things — Val's hand on Ros's neck, cradling the wound; the background and stunning lighting; and the emotions, god!! The emotions! Val, ready to do anything for Ros, who meanwhile is lost in her own world, processing everything that's happened over one of the worst days of her life. Then there's Rosalind herself — the wrinkles and the belly and that soft sag of aging flesh. Incredible.

Thank you thank you thank you, Renato, for another amazing piece. I have to stop, I'm running out of superlatives. 😭😘
