“Santiago Quijana” (James Flint) and “Juan Da Silva” (John Silver) on their way to deliver oranges or returning home early (with Solomon the mule).

Inspired by @vowel-in-thug’s beautiful writing in “st. augustine is that way” & “orange you glad”.

Progress gif under the cut :)

(Just the last layers though). I liked the black & white version too, but I wanted to practise creating a bit more dramatic lighting and atmosphere :)
