Description Stoic philosopher Seneca (the younger) documented the horrors of insane, violent Roman emperors Caligula and Nero. Those guys killed a lot of people just because they felt like it.

Working for a crazy tyrant has got to be incredible dangerous--especially, I imagine, if you're his pleasure slave for the night. Here we've got a poor slave who did something to anger a tyrant...and ended up dead.

I'm really happy with the way that the lighting turned out on this! I didn't use any references at all--so I'm sure anatomy and perspective are mega wonky. Hopefully the mood of the drawing can smooth those errors over, though

This was drawn for 's Concept Contest.

omgg--
This painting style is so gorgeous!! The effect cast by the lighting is magnificent; I adore the colour change of the shades * q *
Thanks so much for the participation!
