Description The drawing from my second 'Crying Over Londo Mollari' Party on Livestream.   I - and the other people with me - are really enchanted with Bodyguard!G'Kar and we were talking about less devastating versions of events where he ends up with a really, really, really extended stay on Centauri Prime with Londo.   Stuff like fashion influences, people's biases, the two of them having fun unsettling members of the court while Londo does official stuff, how palace officials explain G'Kar to palace visitors, Londo forcing them to include G'Kar in official state portraits and images of him, etc etc.   It was a very rapid spiral.  Clearly, I was not the only one who needed to have these conversations, haha.  

This began as a doodled notion that I should draw these two in the style of Yoshitaka Amano, and while that's still sort of reflected in G'Kar's lip and Londo's eyes in particular (and I guess that they are covered in a lot of unidentifiable miscellaneous crap and beads), it didn't become an ultimate goal to mime the style with this image, though I REALLY want to do that in the near future.  

For me, anything that happened in the 90s I filter through two of the styles that affected me most during those years: Yoshitaka Amano and Lisa Frank.    Sooooo you'll be seeing these two in face-melting rainbow and wispy creepy watercolor soon.  


Here they are on Tumblr , which ate the accompanying paragraph about them for some reason.

I love the strong, bright colors on this one! And the attention to details and some of the patterns - even when feeling a bit like chaotic. Why citruses in the background? Because it was not an easy relationship?

Thanks!

I painted this on livestream, so I had a bunch of people making jokes at me while I did it, and I passed a lemon brush I'd made for some other project in my brush collection.   I jokingly said, 'Ha, I could put some lemons in there for no reason,' and they told me to do it.   So they're just there to be background junk! Most people don't even seem to notice them, haha.
