[Image description: a digital drawing of Thomas from Transatlantic holding Varian's hand and kissing his fingers while crying. We only see Thomas's face and their two hands covered in dripping blood. Behind them are black shards with designery red eyes on them. The pieces is coloured in desaturated blues with red accents. End description.]

We all have blood on our hands.

#transatlantic #lovefry #varian fry #thomas lovegrove #so uhhhh yeah if anyone remembers me saying i was sketching some ideas to do w how they met this is one of them #i started getting too many ideas in the middle of it so i kind of lost the original vision but thats ok bcs experimentation baby #basically the first idea was to have knives in the bg but then i was like glass shards bcs of the beer glass that was probably shattered #and bcs its less complex than a knife while still signifying violence (wanted simpler elements in this bad boy)#and then the eyes are all the people who just watched and the red signifies the underlying violence of being a silent observer #in these kinds of situations #and then i got distracted w thomas's suit lol bcs i accidentally did stripes and i was like omg criminal symbolism #and then i was like ok what if they werent normal stripes (bcs that strict angularity is more a part of varian's symbolism)#but instead were more scale-like bcs thomas is resilient but his throat is open bcs a part of his resilience is a lack of fear #of vulnerability #see what i mean by got distracted lol #it doesnt belong in this piece bcs it almost creates a second accent colour when red is meant to be the only one #but id love to do something w it in a different piece #thanks for coming to my ted talk it has to be in here bcs ill see this in 6 months having forgotten everything #and i hope u enjoy the drawing bcs if i cant be completely happy w it (artist disease) at least someone else might enjoy it #artist brain insists i shouldnt share it but i must face the horrors in order to grow /hj
