Not good. Very much not good at all.

Help! I need your opinions!

I haven’t made any moves yet to add Simon into this piece yet because, frankly, as much as I love the guy, my urge to draw Baz fan art is so much stronger and visualising him as a knight was very much the driving force of this piece. I’m a terrible person, so I also can’t resist a pun, thus why I’m now considering editing this illustration so it looks more like a tarot card with the ornate words ‘Chivalry is dead’ (or undead, haven’t decided yet) in the background.

What do you guys think? I’d like to maybe do some prints of this piece, but without any kind of framing or text it feels a bit unfinished.. but I’m worried adding a pun makes it a bit more niche given you need to know this is an image of a vampire knight to get the play on words. Should I make his teeth pointier and bigger to make it more obvious? Or perhaps writing ‘The Vampire Knight: Chivalry is Undead’ would work better? Both??

I’m not so fussed that on its own, this isn’t obviously a Baz fan art. Like, with the pun you don’t need to know it’s specifically Baz to get it- but if you do know, it adds a nice extra layer to it..?
