Description
A Pre-Renaissance inspired, two dimensional rendering of the European folktale, The Blood Brothers. In short, a humble fishermen is granted the wish of a child for turning a fish loose. Two twin boys, twin dogs and twin colts result from the wife eating the flesh of the fish, the dog consuming the insides and the horse devouring the bones. With time the older brother becomes restless and sets out into the world in search of adventure. He leaves his younger twin with a flask of white wine claiming, "All will be well with me as long as this wine is white. But if it ever turns red, I will be in need of your help". The symbiotic relationship between the twins is exemplified in the implied Eastern yin-yang symbol.[link]

Lovely work. I find most interest fort the technical trial (?)
Joli travail, j'apprécie beaucoup la tentative de rendu technique pour retrouver une style ancien, beaucoup moins froid que beaucoup d'illustrations actuelles

I saw this at my college on display. I'm not sure if we go to the same school or if someone at mine plagiarized, but I always though this was a beautiful piece.

You are painting my crazy fantasy. The details in the linework is amazing, and the texture. Wow. Reminds me of one of my favorite works in the Art Institute of Chicago I see a lot, St. George and the Dragon.

You have the best part of medieval, the detailed linework and style, yet with modern proportions and skill.
I guess what I am trying to say: Awesome.
