Description A scene from the finale of City of Ashes, by Cassandra Clare. This is one of my all time favorite scenes, not only because it's Magnus and Alec. It's just so raw, and gives me chills every time I read it! I wanted to paint it as close to the way I saw it in my head, before something changed it for me :]

Alec is thrown from the boat, and is pulled from the water by Magnus, who has been working tirelessly and thanklessly in the truck keeping up his spells to help them, and uses more energy still to rescue Alec. Alec soon realizes how exhausted Magnus is, and offers him the use of his own energy, whatever help it might be. Magnus does all he does out of love for Alec and this is one of the first times Alec puts aside everything for Magnus' sake in return.

My sole complaint would be that I think they were in the bed of the truck- but this is without a doubt one of the best illustrations I've seen of this moment regardless, so I'm entirely willing to overlook that. LOVE IT! I hope to see more Malec art from you, your style is lovely!

thank you! you're probably right and I just forgot, but like I said I just wanted to get it how I remembered, and this is how I see it every time what other illustrations of this scene have you seen? I'd love to see them.
thank you! I hope I get around to drawing more Malec too.

It's lovely regardless, I promise

Em, the only one I was really thinking of when I said that was [link] , which is also excellent and realy the one yours is joining in terms of "my favorite depictions". However, I've also seen [link] and [link] . Not a popular scene for artists, apparently- which kind of makes me sad, since it's such a great moment for their relationship.
