Originally inspired by @ellelan’s beautiful edit and the words “seduction of Dufresne” that kept haunting me for a long time. In the end this turned out a bit darker and does not really convey the brilliance and nuances how Flint played Dufresne in that sequence, but I am quite happy with the art. I wanted to practise lighting and storytelling 😀
(Flint does not literally offer his helping hand, but I thought it made a cool image. Flint also reminded me of a hawk perching when he was bending over to observe
those books, so that’s the reason for those hawk additions…)
@iwt-v reading under peach tree? This idea has been in my mind for a while, just under not a specific tree ^_^ I actually have a small one in my garden, I liked the trunk on this ref.
You have hidden in this place for a lifetime, hidden from the harsh realities that lie beyond this veil that you have constructed here, but the moment that that shot entered his belly, that veil began to unravel, and sooner or later, you are going to have to confront these realities, chief among them being that England takes whatever, whenever, however it wants. Lives. L o v e s. Labor. Spirits. Homes. It has taken them from me. I imagine that it has taken it from you. And when that veil drops altogether, they will come for more. You’re suggesting that you could help us prevent England from taking these things? No, I am suggesting that we help each other start taking things back, and it starts with Nassau.
