Swordtember 2024: Floral/Poisonous/Jewelled

"EGO RETRIBUAM" - I WILL REPAY

This was both one of my favourites and one of the most frustrating pieces I've so far done for this challenge. It was the first time I tried my hand at drawing flowers - these are Nerium oleander, famously so poisonous that even honey made from the plant's nectar can be lethal - and in conclusion: turns out flowers are actually really hard to draw?

It sure made an interesting contrast between the jewelled sword/dagger, which I just whittled away at until it looked like I wanted it to, and the flowers, where I was kinda lost on how to make them look like anything.

Also yes, once again, vent art. Where I live, Nerium starts flowering in May. I guess that felt significant at one point.

"Ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia."

Wherever you'll be, I'll be with you.

(Litterally: Where you'll be Gaius, I'll be Gaia)

This quote was pronunced by the bride in ancient roman weddings to indicate the total submission to her groom. Today it still can be pronunced by both the newlyweds and it has a simbolic value indicating a solemn mutual commitment of love and loyalty.
