Fire Souls

First of all...HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! Now let's get to the business... This was done for and this year I was 's secret Santa These are her characters Vasper (left) and Strife (right). I liked them a lot, so I decided to paint them both. I tried to draw their expressions when Strife's sister ordered Vasper to kill him... but Vasper didn't want to kill him. So I tried to draw Vasper sad expression.

This is flipped image, because like that composition looked better. Actually I drew it flipped (like that), but characters should be flipped in other way... so, now imagine them in right position And I drew butterflies and circles again... sorry, I can't help myself Because I drew it black and white from beginning I had SO much trouble with coloring it. Few days I tried (from morning till night) to color this properly... I have ton of versions for this drawing. But I like this the most, so I posted it here
