Page 1 - Aimee (light blond hair, tan and brown outfit) leans against the wall and sighs. “He’ll be okay” she says. The scene is in a futuristic hospital bay, with all grey hues and blue light accents. The second panel is a zoomed out version of the scene. Aimee stands by the left corner with Elias (black hair, dark outfit; sword on his right hip) standing next to her. Vant lies in a hospital bed, wounded from a previous encounter. The third panel, Aimee hugs her arms closer to her chest, saying “Hell have one hell of a headache when he wakes up…” she looks concerned. Elias does not make eye contact with her, but looks in the direction of Vant. The last panel, Aimee looks in the direction of Elias, worry on her face. “But… he’ll be okay…”
Page 2 - Elias looks to Aimee, concern on his face. In the second panel, Elias rubs the back of his neck and averts his gaze to the right side of the room. He places a hand on his hip and says “Listen… about what happened at the agora before…” Aimee looks at him with question. She says “I’m sorry.” In the third panel, Elias looks taken back. “…What?” A close up on Aimee’s face as she says “I didn’t mean…” In the last panel, only Aimee and Elias are seen. She picks at her fingers and blushes. Elias keeps his hand on his neck as he stares at her, slightly dumbfounded. “That was… I don’t want you to feel like I wasn’t…” she stammers.
Page 3 - Aimee lets her hand fall to her side. In the next panel, she sheepishly looks up at Elias, blushing, and saying “Dammit.” In the third panel, Elias stares at her wide eyed and blushing on a pink, shojou-esque background with sparkles. In the fourth panel, Elias fully turns to her, his eyebrows brought up high. He is flustered and a loss for words. He wants to say: You didn’t hurt me… I want to say this…
Page 4 - Elias leans close to Aimee. She turns her body toward him, leaning back slightly to be able to look at him. “Aimee, I…” In the second panel, Vlana bursts through the door shouting VANT!!! In the last panel, Elias has moved himself away from Aimee to stand next to Vant’s bed. He looks awkwardly at the corner. Aimee has her back facing Elias and is turned toward the wall, trying to hide her blushing face. Vlana stands in the doorway, just staring at the scene. Vant remians unconscious.
A #commission from @josephbrassey.bsky.social - a scene from his most recent book, #princeofclay ! I had a lot of fun working on this (and then subsequently reading it in the book haha)
I always enjoy drawing the characters from this series uwu
