Well, this was me trying a bit of a different style in Photoshop. The picture was drawn onto the black background on a single layer using only the airbrush. On the left is King Ariel Li Trevorian, on the right is High Mage Kaya Faolen Takashi. Their love... is not quite appropriate. Both for the fact that they are both men, the fact that they are king and high mage, and the fact that Ariel must remain open to the possibility of a political marriage. And so they meet only rarely, and in secret, though they try to keep from giving in...

Wow! That looks so amazingly beautiful! I adore the way it looks like their out in the dark night. I can almost hear the owls! So realistic.....

Ok....This is absolutly revolting! 2 men "in-lust" w/eachother is absolutly discusting! But if i were only looking @ the artistic part of it i would agree that this is beautifuly and wonderfuly done. Great job (just leave out the whole "i'm a homosexual and i like it!" thing and letz call it even lol)

Laidehith, you need to back off. Who are you to come into somebody's gallery and start downing on subject matter? And PS: He said they were in LOVE, not LUST. Get it right. (And yes, such a thing CAN exist between to people of the same sex, and don't try to tell me different. I know from experience, so don't even try to go there.) If you don't like the subject matter, DON'T COMMENT and DON'T LOOK.

That said, I think this picture is utterly exquisite and has a sense of longing between the two characters; they want each other, yet they hold back. Like is such a weak word...I ~love~ this picture. Don't let narrowminded people keep you from doing wonderful art about a subject that exists. (PS: Yaoi ROX!)

I totaly agree with Brian. This is a beautiful picture, I love the way you made it, and the motiv is so filled with feelings.
(I often stop by your gallery, just to let you know.)
You are very talented. Continue you art, please!

I love the story behind this, the emotion and desire that is so tangible. So real.

p.s Laidehith, it's nice you're hetero. Be happy. Leave the rest of us ALONE. OK?

this is... i don't think i have words to describe it. You know, it's images like this, so full of love and passion and pain, that twist at my heartstrings. You don't even need a backstory - it's all there in their faces. I am beyond impressed. i wish i had that kind of love, and your kind of talent.

by the way. it's rather refreshing to see someone who truly understands that love transcends gender and heads straight for soul. i'm hetero, but i have NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL!

I absolutely love this. Its so romantic and the story behind it just brings tears to my eyes.

To Laidehith: i agree with the others. If you dont like the fact of two people of the same gender with each other then fine. But dont openly complain about it to the rest of us. "you can stop the heart from beating, but not from loving" So , Yes. Two people of the same gender can love each other. And we Should have the right to do so without the interference of others. All in All... BACK OFF!!

Very nice. Well done.
