biblically accurate Ianthony

[rey-sunshine]

He's finally here to bless the souls of all of us sinners.

This Pastor Ian had so many iterations while I was doing the color that I really don't have the process, maybe I'll post stills of it in the future.

Maybe... I'm not sure. This Ian looked so ugly at some moments that I was discouraged to keep going and procrastinated more than I should have... Sorry Ian. But despite everything I really like it. It wasn't how I (poorly) planned it at the beginning but it looks so much better that I could've ever imagine, honestly. I'm very happy.

(Future me did a decent job with the glasses, so I'm pleased.)

Hopefully anyone who sees this will like it as much as I do :)

Ianthony priest/demon AU because it's been on my mind since that promo was released. Yes, I'm still trying to write a fic about this but in the meantime i made art :3c

This was a bit of an experiment as it's a bit different than my usual style. I'm also trying to learn to use Clip Studio, so it was a fun exercise. Alternate version without the bi lighting under the cut!

Decided to turn this into more than a sketch :D

Ian & Anthony - ianthony - Funeral

For @arlekqin

--

“Can you believe we pulled that off?” Ian asks, sighing as he leans back against the smooth black of the church pew.

They’ve rented them and still have until tomorrow before they have to be returned, but Ian let the cast and crew go for the night, opting to let them celebrate and come in a little earlier tomorrow to clean up the funeral set.

“Yeah,” Anthony asks, gingerly fixing the delicate black lace of his glove, “I can’t believe they bought it.”

Ian looks at his best friend and he smiles. Anthony smiles back, and now, with it just being the two of them here on the set of Anthony’s funeral, Anthony doesn’t have to try so hard, to pretend, or hold back. He blinks and Ian notices when Anthony’s eyes grow white, that milky, unnatural fog to them.

“At least your magic held out during the funeral,” Ian says. “God, I can’t imagine what would have happened if you shifted into demon form in the middle of it.”

“Are you kidding? People would have loved it. They’d wonder how we did it. The whole internet would have been talking,” Anthony says.

So much of him is the same, Ian notes, but at the same time, so much is different since he died and came back again. The eyes are one thing. Then there’s the magic, nothing too powerful, nothing like a storybook, but he has this dark magic flowing through him that comes with the territory, being resurrected demonic style. It’s the same magic he uses to conceal himself while around anyone else but Ian.

To everyone else, Anthony’s death was a joke, a production, fake.

It’s only Ian that knows the truth.

Because it was Ian who brought him back.

It was Ian who found the book, who drew the summoning circle in dark red paint on the wood floor of the Pressalike home office. It was Ian who murmured the words he needed to say to bring his best friend back from the clutches of death.

Really, it was the least Ian could do, he was the one who killed him during their Food Battle after all.

So, now, he’s got his best friend back but in a very undead and demon sort of form and though physically Anthony is not himself, what with the foggy white eyes, the sharp teeth, black claws, the horns that jut from the wave of dark curls on his head, in every other way, he’s still Anthony.

“So, we missed a great opportunity,” Ian jokes.

Anthony laughs, his mouth opening, allowing Ian to see all those pointed teeth. Once he’s quieted down, Anthony leans against Ian, resting his cheek against Ian’s shoulder. Ian, still in his priestly get-up, and Anthony still dressed in his own funeral attire, meet, one supporting the other. Ian rests the side of his head against Anthony’s.

They had told each other they loved each other tonight and Ian had meant it. He knew he loved Anthony when Anthony left the first time around. He knew he loved him even more when he died, and he knew he loved him fully and unending when he dabbled in the dark arts to bring him back.

It is a mutual agreement between the two, Ian knows. Nothing can separate them, not life, not death, nothing. Not anymore, not ever again.

“Now, we just have to figure out how to actually bring you back to life,” Ian says with a sigh.

“Yeah,” Anthony says, “not that being a demon is all bad.”

“Yeah, but I hate lying to everyone,” Ian says, “it makes me anxious.”

“I get it. We’ll figure it out. Honestly, we probably need to loop Amanda and Damien in on this. This kind of seems right up their alley.”

“Good point. Lets keep that as one of our options.”

Ian feels Anthony nod, “Will do.”

Eventually, they need to get up and go home. Home being the Pressalike house where they film their sketches because Anthony can really only go three places, either the Smosh Office, The Pressalike house, or Ian’s house, and Ian doesn’t really know why it’s only those three places, maybe something to do with he energy he left there, what he put into those spaces, but it’s where Anthony needs to be, like his form is bound to one of the three locations at any given time.

So, they need to go ‘home’ but right now it’s nice to sit in the quiet of the set together, basking in all they’ve achieved, while simultaneously wondering where to go next and how exactly to get there.

For anyone who is interested in the process...

So I apparently DO have the whole thing.

I got confused since I thought I changed documents but apparently I duplicated it and the process also gets saved (who knew!)

As you can see I had barely no plan on what I wanted it to look like and I figured it out along the way and just near the end the drawing came together in my mind.

My process has always been very wonky and I end up with something that is so different from what I had envisioned, whether it's the color, the style or even the perspective. I do this to myself all the time (sigh).

Hopefully I've learned my lesson for the next one...
