Description Things are getting steamy in Toronto x)
Simon Kvark and Sejrbank Spiegelau are steaming from the warmup and are ready to enter the ring ~

The sparkles were added as a more humorous addition, but I decided to let them stay for now. A boy has to sparkle, no?  


The shading aesthetic was inspired by a music video:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l5IGs… 
I always rather liked this video and wanted to attempt a similar shading aesthetic at some point; now seemed like a good time to experiment : D

Tries to unsee that Spieg's muzzle looks like an alien face xD





Simon and Spiegelau reside with me

This is like the definition of artistry. 

 

It's so intense and dramatic, in the black and white tones, with the deep shadows & strong lighting. 

Like a gorgeously composed professional photograph. 

You definitely captured the aesthetic vibe of the music video... and then managed to make it your own with Kvark and Spieg. 

I don't think there's enough "like" comments out there to convey how much I adore this image <333

How.
like.
How do you shade so realistically like this
Spieg looks GLORIOUS with his shine and beautiful muscular build
They look absolutely mighty together and indeed a very steamy pair to look at x)
BOY everyone in that class better be prepared for a tough ass competition with these two present. 

also LOVE how you did the backlight.

Wow, the drama and elegance of this piece is unbelievable! Spieg is so handsome, and the vague outline of Simon is so mysterious  - I love how it turned out so much! Perfect lock screen, fancy poster, or portfolio cover material  

Best of luck to the boys in Toronto!

this is SO damn impressive >D simon's hidden face adds such a cool atmosphere to it and it's up to the viewer to decide what mood to interprete. like... IS HE NERVOUS. IS HE CONCENTRATED AND SERIOUS. IS HE CONFIDENTLY SMIRKING. IS HE MAKING A SILLY EXPRESSION AND STICKING HIS TONGUE OUT. we shall never know.

I can't decide whether you have created a scary-clown-smile on Simon or not.. when I tilt my screen it looks like he has the hugest "are you scared yet?" smile on his face!! Love Spiegelau <3
