I’ll remember it even after I lose my sight, my hearing, when death is at my door.

In A Lion’s Conquest, near the end of the story, Ric is recovering (badly) from a fall while on campaign. He returns to Rome much the same, but things start to change for him in minor ways slowly at first, before it all spirals out of control seemingly at once.
The empire is revolting and he seems the obvious culprit for its failings. New rulers are needed and Ric has to be deposed, whichever way his opposition seems right.
In the end Vic can’t save him.

This was such an old sketch but my partner has been pestering me to finally finish it- and I’m so happy I did!!! I love little character interactions like this. The initial idea was, Vicus is performing a mock battle in some way, posing as a Greek legend, him having been a gladiator and all.
It was meant to be a party, but I can imagine Ric addressing him in a private moment afterwards. (And Ric retelling a joke he heard at said party and cracking up all over again.. Vic is once again reminded of how madly in love he is lol)
Ok that aside, I’m obsessed with Rics big ol chompers
I hope you like it and please enjoy!! ♥️

AH THANK YOUUU yea I just… need everyone to know just how much they like each other also just as people? Not only lovers but they would genuinely enjoy spending time together doing whatever…..
This is my favorite piece yet. Beautiful work.
The way this piece is giving me so much joy is amazing! The connection between those two is so heartwarming ♥️
I felt this one in the heart 😭
Delightful. Wonderful subtleties in the expressions and body posturing. Down to Vic’s hand poised in just such a way love ❤️
Vic has a look that says 'you're my world' and I'm loving it

O-oh woooooaaaaaaah! 😍💕 This is just absolutely gorgeous! Oh my gosh... This is amazing... I'm... I love this so, so, so, so, so incredibly much. The ease in which they interact with is just so obvious. These are two people that so obviously care deeply for each other, but might not have taken that final step yet. It's just... It's in every little inch of their being, etched in like a stain to fine fabric, and I'm so here for it! 🥰 Also, I absolutely adore the heart in Rictus' ruby necklace 😁❤️ The chompers and both of their smiles goes without saying 🤭❤️
Thank you!!! Drawing them like this was a delight 😖💘
