Happy Art Monday!
Started at the end of last year, this piece underwent several reworkings and additions until completion due to delays during the holiday season. Originally intended for posting before the year's end, circumstances led to its completion a few days later, marking the new year with another addition to my Andromeda Six fanart collection.
'Close your eyes' portrays a pivotal moment in the relationship between the main character, Jiro, and Vexx from the game Andromeda Six. The two Kitalphan men, Jiro and Vexx were a couple before the treacherous coup shook their bond. Despite the turmoil, Jiro eventually realized Vexx was a victim as much as he was, and their love rekindled amidst the trials faced aboard the Andromeda Six.
While Nat' embodied boldness and Rina exuded emotional depth, Jiro stands as the most gentle and tender of my OCs so far. His tendency to avoid problems in hopes of their disappearance contrasts the harsh reality that he faces.
This artwork captures a crucial scene where the main character is falling, and Vexx rushes to catch him before impending danger. Much like the identifying details in previous drawings (the dog tags of Damon and the tattoos of Bash), Vexx's presence is hinted at through a glimpse of his sleeve.
Inspired by the song "Close your eyes" by Digital Daggers, the title encapsulates the essence of the scene, hinting at a moment of trust, protection, and the deep emotional connection shared between Jiro and Vexx amid life-threatening circumstances.
The heartfelt lyrics resonate with the emotional connection shared between the two men, echoing the theme of resilience and solidarity during turbulent times. The imagery portrays a gripping moment where danger looms, yet their unwavering support for each other shines through, depicting a bond strengthened by adversity.
The profound emotions conveyed in the song's lyrics parallel the essence of this artwork, illustrating not only the depth of their connection but also their determination to overcome challenges together. As the song suggests, it echoes the sentiment that despite the chaos surrounding them, their united strength and trust will guide them through the storm.
(Personal notes: As much as I love those hands, I'm not that fond of the background. I'll probably remake it when I'll have some time and I understand how to do what I want.)

So! Some people might or might not remember, but two years ago I played the game Andromeda Six for the first time and posted some chibis of my 4 OCs for the game (only to promptly abandon them and never do more art with them again, oops). BUT! Lately I've been really obsessing over them (and specially Elay) again, sooo there you go! :D
This was for an idea I had all the way back for an AU in which Elay stays at Teranium when the crew wants him off, and becomes a dancer/stripper at Oppo's club instead. Of course, it was something I needed to draw (bless freepik for the pose ref, and for the crowd silhouettes since we're at it). Just imagine the reactions of the crew on going to the Arc and finding Elay working there.
Drawing aside, I recently replayed the game and discovered that I… don't enjoy it as much as I used to anymore? Which was a bummer. But! That's no reason for my babies not to live rent-free in my head! So yeah, there's that xD

Happy Art Monday!
Here's my last drawing of 2023, 'Stand by Me: Damon & Nat' is a portrayal of intertwined hands symbolizing a vibrant relationship—a union of two individuals, retaining their uniqueness yet moving forward hand in hand.
In love, maintaining individuality amid profound feelings is crucial. It's a balance my mother once taught me—one I echoed through a Greek myth of the androgynous, seeking their other halves in love.
This artwork captures the fiery relationship between Nat' and Damon in Andromeda Six. It delves into their passionate yet complex bond through their entwined hands, resting on green satin sheets—a moment of intimacy and vulnerability.
Nat'—gender-fluid and bold—shares an intense, complicated relationship with Damon, the crew's second in command and assassin. Their interactions, marked by teasing and flirtation, echo the fervor of their bond. Yet, beneath it lies deep emotion.
Entitled 'Stand by Me,' inspired by KI Theory's song cover, this piece embodies unwavering support and commitment. It signifies the enduring connection and loyalty between Nat' and Damon, navigating life's trials hand in hand.
This artwork celebrates not just their love's passion, but also their profound connection and unwavering loyalty, standing united through every challenge.
Shoutout to my sister @valkblue for her invaluable assistance on the thumbs!
