Protection as duty; staying together out of love

Summary:

[Art]

Guarding him as part of duty; staying together as a result of love.

For day 7 of Fenglian Week 2024: duty/love.

Notes:

Hello!

For my last piece for this event, I wanted to make something that could involve both prompts.

Although it's different from my initial idea, and had to change things due to me getting frustrated over the poses and real life, it's still hands.

I think there's something about them using their clothes as armor and signifying their status vs. being bare and seeing each other as equals.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

A drawing. Two panels. -Top panel: Near the left corner, against a light-colored background, there is Xie Lian’s right hand, wearing his royal attire, reaching out to grab Feng Xin’s hand, that’s sporting his archery glove and black robes; these hands are in cool hues. -Bottom panel: close to the right corner, there are Feng Xin’s and Xie Lian’s conjoined hands, seemingly not wearing any kind of robes or jewelry; they contrast against the black background.

Notes:

That's all for the event. I'm @/HeebieBeebies on Twitter, Tumblr, IG & Bluesky, blah blah blah.

The event is @FenglianWeek in those platforms too.

See you later with completely different nonsense.
