Gay wars 2...
Aydin(Sylvari) Belongs to @primordus
I feel like its way harder for me to sketch out a single pose than it is for me to sketch out multiple and work on them at the same time? Maybe its my sequential brain. Anywho, these sketches were all drawn at vastly different points in time which I feel you can tell by the quality of some vs others lmfao, it was a bit of me taking things from other canvases to fill out the space and some of them went through rougher edits than others but! Idk. Its always hard for me to be proud of my art, low self-esteem an all, but I do hope at least some of it looks nice + my love/passion for these guys comes across. Im really just lucky my friend liked my guy enough to play toys with me...its been a blast. Speaking of which.
Like all Leo's "more than platonic" relationships, its complicated! Hes coming off of a 10+ year divorce, probably at the worst part in his life, and in strides a sylvari warmaster who shows up right on time to provide stress-relief and Nothing more haha nothing more guys ! It means nothing ! It does mean something...eventually.
Theres so much to these guys, I could talk about Aydin being the only person outside Aurene to be there for Leo's Post Bangar Shooting Him In The Nexk 3 Months Worth Of Recovery period and how due to that they formed this weirdly vulnerable and Knowing Too Much first true meetings. I could talk about how Aydin is a ticking time bomb who is dying rapidly, and how Leo views him as already Dead so he takes it upon himself to show him gentleness out of pity (at first.) I could talk about sooo many things that make it complicated (Mostly and Especially on Leo's end.) But the main thing you need to know is Post Ibs, pre EoD, Leo is tasked by taimi to get on-site recordings of draconic energy from across tyria where the presence of dragons had been prominent. And who is the one person he decides to take with him for noooo reason? It's aydin. Those couple of weeks/months are a bit of a limbo period...theyre not sorrounded by people, theyre in private, theyre in close proximity for prolonged periods so...its almost like this summer situationship fling thing? Anyways. In this limbo period I think theyre a bit more idk. I hesitate to use the word domestic but theyre in each others presence and spaces in a more...tangible way they never got to be in before. Thats mainly what I had in mind when drawing all of these. A hint at both of them being in too deep, and sometimes just enjoying each other in ways that are maybe too gentle than what they initially thought they signed up for. Anyway!!! I like them!!!
