digital artwork. a scrawny figure with dark shoulder-length hair stands at attention, his blank green eyes the only color which stands out amidst hot afternoon orange which beams in through the bars behind him, and grim blues coloring the shadows around him. the figure looks away in shame, while at his feet, another version of himself lies crumpled on the floor in agony, holding himself, biting his lip whilst crying.
digital artwork. marcene standing in a doorway, eyes wide, expression somewhere in between in shock and awe as she stares ahead of her, light from an orange halo reflecting on her face. the scene is depicted by watered-down blues and browns

very vague centuriae lore, he was never actually naked in this scene, it's moreso something something uhh rebirth something...

the first image is a repainting of an earlier iteration of the same artwork from feb-march that i hated SO much. the original did not match my expectations and was just....... so PLAIN and FLAT, and after uploading it to the site, i was overcome with suuch visceral frustration: this scene is so important, i CANNOT fumble its first depiction on this site so far. the original is one of the few arts on this site that i cannot stand to look at, and yet i i can't delete it bc i wanna honor the site mission statement......ack...... and so, to remedy this, i spent the entire month of april on-and-off re-painting it. and i'm DONE now.

i adore the colors in this newer version - it's certainly more consistent, mystifying, yet simultaneously..... more palatable? the latter of which i'm unsure is a thing i want for it. i'll admit i wasn't able to re-capture some of the visceral emotion present in the original: the one thing that bums me out. (i redrew the faces so many times until i gave up and left them as is.) i can give the OG that amount of credit, it's weird and uncanny. even w all that though, i still DO like the repainting way better. much more prouder of this one.

click here to see the old version but just know that I WOULD RATHER YOU NOT, LOL. the commentary in this page has also been rewritten from the original written & uploaded on march 4.
