Coheed & Cambria
Totally reminds me of Coheed & Cambria's story, a day ending with possibly a new beginning?
Reviews for "The Lovers"
Merol responds:
It's not inspired on Coheed & Cambria, but yeah, it's something like that (kinda)
interesting take
on a centuries old concept. the artwork is great, you have a very unique and intriguing style. it works well in tarot. However, not anything against the art, but as someone who reads Tarot, this version of The Lovers seems to be mixed up with The Devil as well. It'll be interesting to see what the Devil card looks like in this collab.

GLAD YOU LIKED IT!!!
So somber yet so tender,
It's wonderful work.
Progressive, meaningful.
I can see this in a gallery, among seriously professional artists' pieces. Your style is unique, but somehow, it seems familiar. In my area, there's a lot of Hispanic influence, and your work reminds me of Aztec-influenced pieces. There's a classic, very refined style to the picture, and I appreciate it.
The subject matter, while obvious, is touching. With what seems to be impeding destruction in the back, a couple takes their last moments to appreciate what means most to them. Your use of nudity is warranted, as it's not gratuitous. It just serves to show the purity behind the embrace. I adore the moon and the sun; they show two completely different sides of life-- the sun, in its positive, welcoming nature, sets, to herald the moon and its darkness: death. The clouds and the meteors seemed to take up the rest of the sky, which I think is a little much. I'd pick just one.
Otherwise, the piece is very attractive. It's polished and nicely proportioned. The only issue I have with the people is the girl's eyelash. It's enormous. Kind of distracting, but no big deal.

I'm don't know how much Hispanic influence my pictures have, but i'm sure they have some.
I'm glad you like the sun and the moon! I wanted a lot of disaster in the background, I thought lightnings would fit well, and I still do! If I had to pick one, they would be the meteors, since they are crashing the sun.
Heh, I like drawing girls with big eyes.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
