The Lovers details
Realized I forgot to put the cropped detail shots when I first posted the completed work. I was experimenting with different textures and hatching. Nicky is more straight lines, and Joe is more curves.

detail shots for “The King and the Fódlan Lady”
commentary below
- King Khalid III Al-Kir: one of my personal goals with this piece was to get across just how unapologetically in love Claude is with his wife. I redrew his expression the most to achieve this, and also to get his hair the perfect ratio of composed and disheveled.
- Queen “Lady” Byleth Eisner von Riegan: conversely, Byleth was easier to work with, I knew from the start I wanted a steadying gasp. the hard part was making sure the gasp wasn’t uh… implying more. I think I managed it?
- “Almyran” Embroidered Pants & Pillows: this was actually done after Byleth’s nightgown. Almyra is pretty clearly based upon ancient Persian culture, which is heavily detailed, though I defaulted back to Italian lace designs for what I made. since I was already using Byleth’s safe word in her outfit, putting Claude’s in his was a no-brainer. the pillows were ultimately an afterthought because they felt too plain in comparison.
- “Fodlan” Lace Embroidery: when hashing out the details of the piece with @anam-writes, I made a personal request to put lace on Byleth’s outfit. it’s a weakness of mine and the chance to hide her safeword in the image was exceedingly tempting. finding reference was a pain though, because most lace designs with lilies in them are very religious.
- The ONE Specification, Chest Hair: other than the pose itself, with is a direct reference to a Fabio harlequin cover, the one thing that was asked of the piece was for Claude to have chest hair. I researched chest hair grooming to make sure it looked good and natural. I have weird standards. intsys is made of cowards for not giving our boys chest hair on their models.
if anyone has any questions on the how’s of making the piece I am happy to answer
