I wanted to capture both of Ingoria's time as an Silverhair Knight of Eilistraee and a Warlock of Dendar. Burnout has made VP incredibly difficult for me to do bigger concepts like this but, by golly, I had to show up for my girl. And I'm actually really proud of how these came out. I hope you like it too!

Funnily enough I took these just before this post went around. So on display is Iggy doing just that. Lightly tickling Coran's chest as both a form of play but also in a way that highlights her appreciation of his masculinity, to uplift and reaffirm his gender without objectifying him. She loves his laugh and he's quite ticklish so easy enough to accomplish. The other pastime is a favorite. Coran being the ceaseless yapper storyteller that he is, Iggy takes great comfort and pleasure in simply listening to him. Often with her ear and hand to his chest to feel as well as hear him speak to her. She is a very sensory person and few places bring her as much joy as being curled up against Coran's chest while he softly recounts a tale or simply tells her about his day. 🥰 It also takes on so much more meaning in the AU where they are reunited and she is then mostly blind. 🥺😭

It's been around 5 years since I've done a fully rendered portrait due to burnout, lack of muse / motivation, and my health declining so it took a lot of relearning how I used to do things. It was quite a struggle but I was determined and still enjoyed it. It was about all I focused on the last few weeks on and off. I've still somehow managed a fair amount of improvements and I'm really pleased with the results.

The only explaining I'll do is on the "First to Confess" section: Iggy and Coran have a relationship when they're younger for a time that inevitably comes to an end, but in that timeframe Iggy is the one to confess most sentiments. She is far bolder and more blunt in her honesty than he is. Things like: "I missed you." (She's a Knight so she is gone a lot) and admission of romantic interest. "I love you." as well, ofc. Later on when Iggy is an oathbreaker turned warlock they are reunited and Coran does a lot of the confessions due to Iggy having reservations because of their earlier fallout. Apologies, accountability, and lots of feelings. It takes Iggy some time to open up again but she is still the first to confess that she missed him and she still loves him. To her, those are facts that have always remained true and unwavering. They just weren't enough on their own to keep them together before. All of her other feelings are held back from being spoken aloud for a time.

Girl still falls right back in it though. They have always been fast-falling and intense. It just takes her a while to say it aloud. So that's why in that section they both get a stamp! Everything else was considered with both their healed personas in mind, mostly.💜
