The Serpent and the Wings of Night
🕑 Added 2023-12-08 21:13:32 +0000 UTCFinally allowed to post this! Some of you might remember seeing a wip sneakpeak of this back in march or april or so, so I've been sitting on this one for a little bit. Back earlier this year Carissa Broadbent approached me for a commission and I had only really read her first book, Daughter of No Worlds. So when she talked about her newest book, and The Serpent and The Wings of Night, I decided to check it out, just because I was curious.
Oh my god. I read it in one sitting, I COULD NOT STOP, what a fantastic book. Raihn and Oraya from The Serpent and the Wings of Night is one of my favourite bookish couples, and if you haven't read the book yet: what on earth are you waiting for?! Go go go!
tried my best to make Raihn weathered and battlescarred, while superhuman and otherwordly. Sporting his signature V scar on his left cheek, and his permanently cocked eyebrow. fuckin love his description so much, but you know I'm a sucker for shoulderlength hair anyway.
and the little viper, Oraya. I tried to really emphasise her intense moon orb eyes, and slightly elongated her pupils to give that snakey look. looking at it now i wish I had gone a bit more extreme with that idea, but hey ho.
symbolism baby.
last but not least, the silk from Ilana, the ring on Oraya's littlefinger, her dual blades and raihns hand supporting her.
i had a lot of fun drawing this, done in the style of my Hunt and Bryce.
