I was inspired for this art by lines from the Russian song "Неизбежность зла" ("Inevitability of Evil", it has an English version "House of Cards"). The idea I think is clear: two sides of the same coin, or the dark and light side of the Force if you wish (somewhere reylo fans cry, including me XD).
I wanted the strongest symbolism, so I drew the Heart of Kandrakar to resemble a yin-yang. The black substance inside is inspired by episode 20 of season 1, when the crystal absorbed the Seal of Phobos. The substance shimmers purple, as this color is obtained by mixing pink and turquoise. The pink belongs to the owner of the Heart of Kandrakar, who infuses it with light energy, and the (almost) complimentary turquoise belongs to the prince, who poisons the artifact with dark magic. The crystal does not reject it, observing neutrality to the exclusion of the strict concept of good and evil. After all, are the sides of the coin so different from each other?

The skies of Meridian were crisp and gentle as the clouds form and shape around the sun and it's blue eyes, the trees are a lovely shade of light green and yellows as it transitions of summer to fall slowly but beautifully, carts and it's people selling candy goods and swapping tales galore of adventures of the kingdom and it's people.
A large beast of scales flies pass the clouds with a mighty scream of a high pitch echoing off it's back.
On the back of the dragon rests a young pre-teen of Catherina-Anne "Weira" Vandom-Escanor, her red hair to her shoulders sway and curl in the harsh winds are her thin fingers touch a nearby cloud as a smile appears on her adorably cute face as her chocolate brown eyes shimmer and shine.
Down bellow in the beautiful white stone castle covered in plants, a pre-teen boy with dark hair and a child boy of messy strawberry blond locks hurry down the halls in hushed words and steady feet, both dressed in garbs of brown trousers over their white leggings and golden and sapphire color themed tunics and covers.
Their quick game of run was quickly ended when a women with fair hair done in two thick braids tied in some knots of jewels like her special crowns dressed in a grown of purples and blues with peacock feathers creating a halo around her neck and waist, her blue eyes fluttering in shock at the boys.
"Egon, Hunter, what are you doing? The event is starting soon." Said she as she examine the boys, soon she glanced around. "And where on all the universe is your sister?"
As if on que, the bell of a fire breathing scaly beast scaled pass the castle court yard in a fierce thick shadow with a roar and a girl's insane cackling laughter of a howl.
Egon, the eldest of the two boys, stared ahead not dare looking at the woman as his voice, meek yet able to hear, say, "That wasn't her."
In the courtyard the dragon lands in the large water pool of a fountain and Catherina-Anne quickly slid down it's arched down wings, Lilly pads of the water grow and rise before her feet touch them and guide her to the safe of wetness ground.
The girl didn't make it pass four steps away from the scene before she was met with the woman from before suddenly there with a curious yet knowing look on her face.
"A-Aunty Elyon-" Said she with a mere shy giggle and awkward smile.
Catherina-Anne scoffs and rubs the waist of her grown as she walks along side her brothers. Her red hair tucked back and groomed in two buns within a bosses, her ears dangling silver and a special stone on each end of the hood's end, her body covered with bare shoulders of her floor length and honestly a lovely pale peach and orange sunset color with the sleeves at start puffed put then slim tighten by ribbon above the elbows and tie two lose bows on her wrists each, the gown laced and bordered with golden trim and designs to match the golden thin necklace wrapped around her neck.
"Relax my little dragon, this is just for tonight." Said to her left, there standing her father dress in a handsome shade of purple and dark wine reds, his beard grown to his cheeks in a well groomed and trimmed style as his hair that matches the fairness of his sister's is long and braided severely with golden hoops and jewels embedded into it like a weaving art project.
To his left stands his wife, his fair angel in human skin, dressed in a dark black gown with some blues shining like lightning through a dark midnight sky as her red hair is done back long in a high bun with a lovely silver and gold clashed crown caress her top much like Phobos' reverse style of color and design's. Over the years she aged well like a fine fine wine as Phobos and everyone in Meridian and beyond can admit proudly, her beauty never once wavering and boring three wonderful children didn't stop the process one bit.
The prince took the hand of his wife and kisses the top of her palm, causing the lady to smile bashfully as if they were still dating in their youths.
Aaaaaaaaaand the final day is complete! I hope to do this again next year!
Drawing Mallory made me think of my Phowill kids again. So here’s one of my Phowill fankids, Artemis, in her civilian form! (Evidently, she has her father’s taste for the gothic and elegant.)
Behold the crack and impossible ship, called Will x Phobos!
I decided to post this shipping sketch here as well. It’s dedicated to a friend of mine from dA and it’s inspired from her fanfiction a little. who am I kidding I wanted to draw the Phill kiss for a very long time
I used a ref photo from pinterest (that site is full of amazing photos with interesting poses for artists to study <3)
Might slowly start to be more active and draw more now that I am on vacation.
I ship enemies to lovers and I feel good about it… There is too little Will Vandom/Phobos Escanor fanfic or art, and that's my favorite couple… Yeah, yeah it's not for everybody, but I still enjoy it… Also, mainly from comics, the TV version is so-so… Moodboard made by me :)
