JR at the bar. Now that’s a party !
:) Persephone finding baby Adonis, and a couple relevant/attendant scenes. This is basically a kind-of cover to a fic I’ll post later, but for now, art!
Closeup of three of the smaller panels under the cut!
“Dorian, from the moment I met you, your personality had the most extraordinary influence over me. I was dominated, soul, brain, and power, by you. […] I worshipped you. I grew jealous of every one to whom you spoke. I wanted to have you all to myself. I was only happy when I was with you. When you were away from me, you were still present in my art…. Of course, I never let you know anything about this. It would have been impossible. […] You would not have understood it. I hardly understood it myself. Weeks and weeks went on, and I grew more and more absorbed in YOU. […] I felt, Dorian, that I had told too much, that I had put too much of myself into it.”
Basil Hallward, The Picture of Dorian Gray, O. Wilde
