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.

It is not a disease to be in love, but not to be. Because if love comes from the eyes, blind are those who are not in love. Philostratus 170s – 240s AD
