Whoooooo, fanart for @sodaspons’ “Atlas” on AO3 :D
I have a more bloody version below (plus the whole process), but definitely check out their fic if you have the chance (it has Bad Parent!Splinter, parentified older sibs and various other things, so check the tags before reading).
And now the process :D
Deadass, the lower half of the rough sketch is literally nothing like the finished version 💀
Like, Venus was supposed to be kneeling but it just ended up with her upright I guess 😭
The final sketch is very messy and I love it that way lmfao (I really should find a style that keeps it like that while still looking good when I add color ngl)
BAM. LINE ART.
And finally, flat colors + background lol
Here’s the fic if any of y’all want it :D

“It’s okay,” she assured them. “I’m gonna be the best big sister ever, and you guys will never need to worry about anything ever.”
They chirped from under the lamplight, making Venus smile.
“I’ve got this.” She picked up another book and muttered to herself as she clutched the cover with desperation. Her voice shook, “I have to.”

“The Empress” and “The Ten of Wands” (reversed)
“The Empress” signifies love, nurturing, and comfort. She means prosperity, motherhood and new beginnings.
“Ten of Wands” (reversed) is about intense burden, carrying too much to bear, and fighting against insurmountable odds. It means being resigned to one’s fate, burning out, and breaking down.
I had fun with these!

chapter 55 art!
ready for a breakdown of this thing? ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ
So, to state the obvious, Venus is in the cage while Baxter is outside and there's light coming in from Baxter's workspace.
Baxter is trying to warn her in this scene, he's trying to help her at least a little bit. In the end, he gives her the hope and the means to escape.
Just as they share the light, they also share the shadows. There's a thick barrier separating them, but they're still in extremely similar environments. He might as well be in the cage with her, but he isn't. Not really.
