Art for Azzy_darling’s story Inhale-Exhale for MEBB 2013.
I am so happy that I can finally post this. Not only because it is a good occasion to share work, but also because I really worked long on this one.
Her story is really cute and I enjoyed reading it. A love story about falling in love and fighting for it, in which Shepard is a gladiator and Kaidan was intrigued by his performances. In and outside the arena.
When I first picked her story, I had a image very similar to this one in my head. After talking to her (She’s a wonderful person, btw) and discussing a few details, I had a pretty good idea what I wanted to do. And while I read the story, my vision finally took form.
Mixing the ancient gladiator armor with sci-fi was really fun. I could do a lot of things I’ve never tried before. Creating that sci-fi plus ancient Rome arena was really challenging, because I wanted it to look logical. I thought a lot about how they would perform there and came up with this.
Anyway, it was a great time and I’m so grateful for this opportunity.
Thank, AzzyDarling for giving me this chance and managing this all. Also my gratitude to bioticbooty!
Truthfully I am in awe of your talent. And you took whatever changes I made in the text like a champ. Thank you for this time around, maybe we’ll work together again - you never know. =)
And in the meantime, shall we just enjoy this absolutely fucking brilliant artwork? <3
