Keep away from me!

Description

Sacris: "Keep away from me!"
Jerome: "Or what? Are you going to kill me?"
Sacris: "You can bet your life on it!"
Jerome: "Go on ...! Do it ..."

-------------------------
Full view please!

Note: This work will be redone one day when my anatomy skills have improved sufficiently.
EDIT: Added plants to the foreground grass, added brighter hair reflections and brightened the sky.
EDIT#2: Worked over the teeth and the mouth.


This is another illustration for my fantasy story Terra Aluvis. The scene takes place at a lake. The young king, Sacris Faryen, is simply trying to relax while taking a bath in the cool water after an exhausting day. The Lunid Jerome decides spontaneously to take advantage of the fact that he is off guard.
In the back there is a woman, Nadja, who is out there for a nice evening walk. Being confronted with those two men together, she freezes in shock, as she completely misunderstands the circumstances.

It was quite fun to draw - it's very rare that my main character, Sacris, gets into such a desperate situation ;)
Anyway: the water reflections really killed my nerves ...!
Drawn without references.

Enjoy and share thoughts!

( I'm here on behalf of <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/e/s…" alt=":iconselftaughtartist:" title="SelfTaughtArtist" /> because your piece was in the group's critique requested folder. )

This piece stood out from the gallery instantly for me, mainly because of how fantastic the lighting is. The background is beautiful, and really brings this piece alive - I absolutely suck at background work myself, so I really admire artists that put so much effort into them.

As for the characters themselves, the shading and colouring are great. They really do look wet! And that hair - wow. The only thing I could possibly fault with them is perhaps the anatomy - their bodies are very long. This may just be a stylisation though, and doesn't detract from the piece overall.

Anyway, all in all, this is a wonderful, sensual piece of art with a lot of work put into it. Great stuff. :3
