Finally I can show my Pandora Hearts artwork. I got the inspiration by @lynnlyrae fanart, so I decided to draw my otp for the first time in nine years.
Disclaimer: Everything I write is just my own interpretation.
So, a little about work. Of course, my dream would be to write a normal analysis, but we'll have some raw ideas. In general in this art I'm trying to show the relationship between Jack and Lacie. All this storm and clouds are there to show that they're both doomed, and so is their relationship. At the same time, the work depicts a tea party, here I wanted to show that characters are trying to communicate as if nothing happens, ignoring the obvious nightmare unfolding right in front of them.
They don't sit together, there is a table between them, and here I wanted to convey that the table acts as a dividing line. Lacie sits slightly closer to the table, leaning forward. She's actually much more interested than Jack in resolving this dividing line between them and truly revealing herself to the person she loves. Jack, on the other hand, sits a little further from the table and leans back in his chair. This shows that he prefers not to cross this symbolic line and is trying to distance himself from any real closeness with Lacie. Both of them look at each other, the table and the food on it do not interest them, but neither of them dares to cross the line that separates them for their own reasons (this is one of the reasons why they are so doomed).
I also don’t know if I managed to convey this, but I tried to make Jack sit more confidently and beautifully, since he is naturally very charismatic and knows how to manipulate people, and Lacie, on the contrary, sits in a less confident pose, plus she is slightly hunched over. Here I wanted to convey that Lacie is actually quite reserved and not very charismatic as a person, and doesn't really know how to connect with others. Like, yes, as a memory and an vision (not sure for this word, I’m not native English speaker), she was very mysterious, interesting, and mesmerising, but the real Lacie, who is just a person, seems to be completely different. Plus here Jack is sitting calm and smiling, because he finally found Lacie and they are near each other, but Lacie is in pain, because she knows that she will die soon, plus she will never be able to muster up the courage and open up to the person she loves (but here I am also not sure if I conveyed the emotions well).
