I feel the same way! ☺️ ...and I might just end up in a puddle next to them! 🤭👀🫠

That’s valid! My love of Qunari probably bled through a bit when I designed Rezavi. 🤭

ps - He's a Mephistopheles Tiefling!

Aww! Thanks! 🥰 Desaturated color palettes are so appealing! Especially
late Victorian and Nouveau-era artworks that have a "warmed from age" or sepia appearance to the color spectrum.

You know I never need much of an excuse to incorporate floriography and any symbolic elements into an art piece! 😁 Nouveau styles do make it easy, though, and Rez is always a good muse for me! 😌 I endlessly appreciate your compliments, dear friend! 😊🫶

And lovely one to aim for! 🫶 Certainly has been mine! So many possibilities with an inspired nouveau style. Planning out the little frame design/floral elements was quite rewarding once all the individual pieces came together. 😌

Thank you kindly! 💛

😁🫶 Pretty scales and anything gold are always favorites of mine to paint!

Aw! Thank you! 😊💛 I just love this style and will probably do a few more like it!

Thanks so much! 🥹🫶 I truly appreciate your lovely words!

This piece took a totally different direction once I finished the line art. Wasn't even sure if color would be added at first! 😅 But, I'm so glad I did this "watercolor" wash, and I definitely agree that it pulls everything together! 😌

Fern's hold cultural significance for him and represents strength and unwavering resistance. Bird of Paradise flowers symbolize joy and freedom. I also strongly associate all of these plants/flowers with the tropical region of the Chultan Peninsula, from which Rezavi hails.

From left to right, the chosen flowers are Canna lilies, which embody beauty, protection, and confidence. White Plumeria are his favorite flowers, and they exude positivity and warmth.

The symbolic stuff! 😁

His motifs are represented as a viper and sun. The twin serpents reflect his interests in both crafting rare and poisonous concoctions and his childhood nickname. A golden sun ray not only frames him nicely, but it also stands for Rez's optimism and bright personality.

Yes! Those brainworms are well fed!! 😌

The harmonizing and flow are 😘👌!!
So much inspired this, and in return, ViperMoth's theme will surely inspire more of their story yet to come! 🫠

Extra kudos for @aceforspinaltap.bsky.social 's exceptional work! 🫶💛

I feel so much for them! 😭🫂

Thank you, friend!! 🫶 You know the plight of text limits! So, if I couldn't provide all the depth and nuance to their story, I was hoping a visual representation would do some of the heavy lifting for me! 😉
