Held off sharing this illustration for quite a while, for fairly obvious reasons… here’s my ex playing pool 🤡

It’s been a strange challenge continuing with this project after the relationship I was in during the trip (that it was understandably largely centred around) came to an end. However it’s been a positive reflective practice nonetheless! Despite the reality I’m currently living being far outside the expectations I had for this time in my life, the end result with these illustrations is exactly what I envisioned and I’m immensely proud of it!

Throughout the project, I wanted to focus on different techniques and styles that I would usually limit myself on within a normal commission context, for this particular one I went for my usual semi-photo realism, but with an almost oil painting style that I see so often and have always loved, and I’m really pleased with it!
