I'm ignoring the default "backstory" of rook lorraine mercar chose tevinter and ended her fiancé's life with her own hands when she found out he was a venatori, that's why she had to leave minrathous, and no one in the shadow dragons storage room really knows her

Hades II has been such a blast to play! There's an arcana card which clearly features Thanatos with long hair~ I wanted to redraw it but have Zagreus as the person being stabbed :D

Here's a post 'A life to love' ending scene i've wanted to paint ever since i finished the game.

I picked Verso's ending because it seemed like a pragmatic choice if you only take into consideration the Dessendre and their relationship with the canvas and their grief. But as i kept thinking about it i ended up thinking about Maellicia and how I'd feel if i were in her place.

She got to live another life, free from the pain and expectations, where she found her people and a sense of belonging, I can't blame her for not wanting to let go, especially since her life as Maelle is as real to her as her life as Alicia. The way Verso's ending rips it all away from her makes me realize she ends up with more things to grief, another life and another brother.

While i do think facing your grief is the right path to take, being forced to do so that violently, and losing even more things in the process must've been heartbreaking, i can't imagine her getting over it so easily...

Wip of a post Verso ending scene.

I went with his ending as it seemed like a logical one at the time but the more i think about it the more I realize i relate to Maellicia more in this story...

To think she got another chance at life where she got to find her people and make her own choices in life, only for it to be ripped away from her too fast, and now she has two lives and two brothers to grief.

'She can always repaint them later' except i don't think she can, maybe because she lacks the skills as a painter, or her burned hands are harder to move with precision. But also because it'd need extreme detailing to paint everyone back from nothingness, a whole new canvas. All while the memories from both her lives fade and merge as time goes on.

As disabled artist i understand too well the frustration of not getting it right and feeling like you never will, like you're running out of time, especially when your disability gets in the way and achieving your goal can start feeling impossible...

I love this game and how complex it is, I hope Maellicia gets to find something to love in this life she didn't want.
