“I’ve been watching you for some time now. I saw the way you wielded that sword. It’s a good fit for you. Did you enjoy tearing up poor Kuma?” “Not especially.” Zoro says flatly. "Don’t act like you’re so above it all. I think that you feel excited when you see blood. You don't have to be ashamed of it.” Zoro glares at him, watching him pace back and forth. “Did you become a homicide investigator because you get a kick out of seeing shattered bone and mutilated corpses? It’s not something we in polite society discuss very often." —Ch. 10, Tiger by the Tail by Vandereer (@dandunn)
obsessed that they had their confrontation in a crumbling cathedral so i had to illustrate it (close-ups under the cut)

#one piece#roronoa zoro#dracule mihawk#modern aru#tiger by the tail#tbtt art#ok umm lazy religious symbolism explanation for ppl who managed to escape catholic/christian upbringing#mihawk is standing in front of a stained glass depicting the annunciation (the angel gabriel tells mary she has to bear jesus)#mihawk is the angel of death etc (stole this from a line in ch. 20)#yoru's hilt is blocking mary's face (she's commonly seen as symbol of mercy). make of that what you will#umm what else. red crosses on either side of mihawk is st george's cross#there r also red dragons curling up the crosses on the door which alludes to the legend of st george defeating a dragon#(you probably have to squint bc i turned the brightness down a lot)#i was referencing the interior of calvary-st.george's parish in nyc which is where daredevil season 3's church fight was shot#ok i think that's it. anyway i'm surprised that i managed to make a whole illustration. this was intense n the background killed me#but dramatic and bloody church confrontations ft stained glass is my weakness!!!#oh yeah i added the votive candles bc i remember it was such a good detail when zoro came into the church and was like#wtf there are still ppl here???#also needed an alt source of lighting. but not going to lie drawing them was scary but it turned out well#illustration#my art
