i had a lot of fun with the ‘clothbound classics’ stickers i made, and decided to branch out! these aren't precisely ‘classic’ novels (though i would argue the hunger games is a sufficiently biting social commentary that it will, with time, become one) but i like them, and i thought they’d look good in the same style

A Darker Shade of Magic, Part VIII - CH II - V. E. Schwab
"Lila drew closer, so close their ribs were touching and he could feel her heart racing through them. She was so good at hiding it, her fear. It didn’t show in her eyes, or the lines of her face, but her pulse betrayed her. And then Lila’s lips tugged into a grin, and Kell wondered if it was fear she felt after all, or something else entirely.
'I’m not going to die,' she said. 'Not till I’ve seen it.'
'Seen what?'
Her smile widened. 'Everything.'
Kell smiled back. And then Lila brought her free hand to his jaw and tugged his mouth toward hers. The kiss was there and then gone, like one of her smiles.
'What was that for?' he asked, dazed.
'For luck,' she said, squaring her shoulders to the wall. 'Not that I need it.'
Kell stared at her a moment and then forced himself to turn toward the bloodstained bricks. He tightened his hand over hers, and he brought his fingers to the mark.
'As Travars,' he said.
The wall gave way, and the traveler and the thief stepped forward and through."
The first kiss we never forget.
The greatest thing of this scene is that I wasn't expecting the kiss or the super natural way that Kell dealt with it. It made me scream.
I won't lie, I added 3 more scenes of Acol that I want to illustrate, but only one of them is coming in the comic format. So, now I have 20 more comic pages and 3 paintings to work on (and I think I'll probably be adding more in the future because I seem to like to make myself suffer)
Also, my classes at college start back today and it means that I won't have much time to work on my illustrations, so the next scenes will probably take a little longer to come out 😭
Fortunately, next scene is only two pages and will probably take less time to render, so I'll try to post it as soon as I can.
