Ahhh. So he's the one who felled the Axon
If I had a nickel for every time I would focus/hyperfixate on a character who has lost his left arm, had been used and manipulated by "powers" higher than him, left to die and rot alone, and is called Simon, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's strange that it happened twice.
Now, I guess I'll have to draw Simon (Iron Lung) in an expeditionner's outfit, or put the COE33 into the Iron Lung universe somehow
... I also want very much to push forward a bloodymary (my pathetic gay men, just like Gustave/Verso, I'm sure there's a swap au to do here as well lol) agenda into a Clair Obscur AU, fucking bunnyhole dragging me down the depths of unfinished WIPs and ideas haha

Clea isn't interested in being tied to anyone in marriage. Being the Heiress of the great Dessendre Painter family, all she's concerned about is managing the expectations of her position. That is, until a handsome stranger appears to ruin all her plans.
The sound of footsteps behind her set her spine straight and her teeth on edge. Clea closed her eyes in a moment of defeat. She knew who it was before she even turned around.
“Clea is it?” he asked. His voice was husky with a hint of gravel. It shouldn't have affected her but her stomach clenched to spite her.
“That depends entirely upon who's asking.”
The man chuckled with a lopsided grin stretching over his features, “I'm fairly certain every social elite in Paris knows of the infamous Dessendre Heir. I've just come to see if the rumors are true.”
Clea’s brows pinched. Rumors? That was a new development. But of course, she kept her cool with a dismissive response. “I'm sure whatever they say about me is true.”
A promise unfulfilled
So originally this was going to be a Paintress/Curator piece, but then I remembered the tragedy that is Clea and Simon and well... here we are, and without fighting the negative space that would've been their faces. This was done within 3 hours in csp. No timelapse as I forgot to turn it on (I've not drawn in a hot minute, forgive me).
I think I just got told to git gud?
I finally beat Simon after countless attempts. 🥳🎉 YYYAAAAAAAYYYYY 🎉🥳
... And best regards to those who told me to use Sciel only as a support.
