Wow, @djacbaweur ! I love how you evoke the feeling of the present and the past by the use of colours in this piece. The sword feels like it belongs to the present, presented in natural colours and the portraits that flank it seems as if they belong to a recollection.... I love the step by step presentation, as usual, and I also love the detailing ! Your lineart is always so well detailed and the sword's hilt is no exception to this <3
Gorgeous work ! I look forward to the chapter that will accompany this illustration :)
