[Image ID: Fanart of the characters Alphonse Harding and Byron Ford from I Am Your Beast, an indie first-person-shooter game. The drawing is an interpretation of the scene where Harding removes the tracking chip from Ford's leg. Alphonse, posed on his knees in the snow, facing the viewer, is a black man wearing mostly repurposed, camo colored cold-weather military clothing, which contrasts with his bright blue scarf and blue beanie. His face is faintly scarred. His expression, however, is calm and focused. Ford is posed half-laying down on the ground beside Harding, straddling him, with one leg hitched up into Harding's lap and the other behind him. Ford has pale skin and dark eyes, but the rest of his features are obscured by the bulky tan pilot's uniform he wears. He props himself up with one arm, upon which he also wears a pink mitten. Notably, he and Harding wear the same C.O.I. red goggles and ear defenders. Ford's expression is pained- his hair clings to his face with sweat despite the snow- but he's smiling. Harding is using a hunting knife to slice into Ford's leg, though most of this action is obscured by the placement of Harding's hands, which cradle Ford's leg. Harding's thumb is raised to wick blood away from the incision wound. In dialogue bubbles, ford says, in shaky text, "It's weird. I'm watching you cut me, but I can't feel it." and Harding replies, with a small and matter-of-fact looking speech bubble, "That's shock." The image is on a gray background, roughly shaded to evoke dense snowfall, and both characters have condensation clouds forming from their breath. Their poses lean together in a way that is vaguely heart shaped. The top right corner has an abandoned rough sketch of Harding aiming a gun. I tried making this image ID as homoerotic as the image cuz i wanted to capture just how gay this scene from the game was. did it work? End ID]
