Description
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong wait and see.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

If you guys have been following my status updates, then you already know how much I love Legion! For the uninitiated, I shall list the premise down below because i'm afraid I may unintentionally spoil something:

David Haller was diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age and has been a patient in various psychiatric hospitals since. After Haller has an encounter with a fellow psychiatric patient, he is confronted with the possibility that there may be more to him than mental illness.

I seriously cannot stress enough how great Legion is, the cinematography is absolutely gorgeous with its surreal visuals and lingering shots, the cast is amazing with Dan Stevens portraying the titular character with such care and vulnerability, and the writing for the show is so smart and clever, I just, I haven't enjoyed a show this much since Hannibal, and that is saying something considering Hannibal is my all time favorite show. If you guys have the time, I implore you to give the show a try!

-Wow, two pictures in a row? Y'all are so lucky! Nah, i'm just kidding! I was actually working on this while I was procrastinating on doing art trades (here's another apology for you folks, i've got another art trade coming up real soon so please don't be mad at me!) I also kinda rushed on it because the season finale is today and I wanted to post it to show my appreciation for the show, and so it might inspire others to do fanart as well!
-Even though I did try to avoid spoilers, this picture does contain them. I won't say anything, but if you know the comics than you may or may not already know who the big guy is, but that's all i'm gonna say on that matter. :T
-This was actually pretty fun to draw and color I must say! I think the only problem I had with it was David himself. It looks nothing like Dan, and after using the wrong shade of yellow to color his clothes, I had to cut out his entire body and glue the rest of the pic onto another piece of paper (like my last pic lol) and redraw his clothes which took some time and I ended up messing up on the shading despite my efforts (I'll try to fix it later)
-Also the hands suck because I suck at drawing hands as well as banjos lol

Hmm, your pic does make me curious about this "Legion", is it a TV series?

BTW, the guy on the right reminds me of Jabba the Hutt, LOL.
