And leaves the world to darkness and to me.

"The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,
The plowman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me."

No farther seek his merits to disclose,
Or draw his frailties from their dread abode,
(There they alike in trembling hope repose)

This one makes me feel all warm and fuzzy 🥰. Sweet boys. I’m gonna tiptoe away and make them some lunch. I knocked this one out pretty quickly and tried not to get hung up on the details. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. #Art #DigitalArt #CharacterArt #LGBTQArt #QueerLove #OC #ThomasGray

Why did I spend so much time drawing the contents of this cabinet? It’s supposed to be a storyboard. I don’t think the precise folds of Thomas’s socks are crucial to the plot of his story. #OC #DigitalArt #VisualStorytelling #Comics #Art #ArtProcess #ThomasGray
