@companyofwolves This version, for me, is more powerful. It depicts that this sentient (lover) has taken her heart, or she willfully, entrusted it to him; the outcome was anger, anguish, sorrow, and possibly regret. You can see the sentient is grabbing for her heart which she is displaying in torment. This version without the gate appears more “natural”. Although, the third version shows more of the characters, the narrative about the ❤️ is less evident as the ❤️ is on the ground.
@GrayStripe Thanks for your thoughts on this. It’s interesting how much the subtle changes seem to affect one’s interpretation of the artwork.
@companyofwolves You are very welcome. Thank you for the beautiful artwork that facilitates these types of inspection and thought. It does help one be away from the day to day stresses that is part of life. Know your work does provide respite and joy for people, even if it’s temporarily. 🙏
@GrayStripe Thank you. This is such a nice feedback and it means a lot to me. <3
@companyofwolves The most insane thing is - I totally see and feel mood from your photos. Magical work. Love it… 🖤
@companyofwolves This hits so hard. I've never seen a clearer rendering of anguish.
