Description this happens AFTER the Obertaurer Conference
and before this: 
and this: 

small break from TWD pics started this ages ago and was originally planned to be a collab but then I accidentally finished it
did the background only now tho so I hope it doesn't look too alien. that angle nearly killed me tho... but storytelling!! *shakes fist*


S T O R Y

It was still summer when Romeo stayed at Riley's place together with his Obertaurer Erzherzog. It was time for them to start training more properly and due to the tense situation between Simon and Romeo, Riley felt that the least he could do was offer his help. Especially since he knew something about Romeo's abilities no one else did. Which was the same reason why he felt saddened by the way Romeo was able to mount a horse with such ease or naturally felt when to use which command. He did his best to conceal that, seeing how cheerful his son was about the quick progress, despite the difficult personality of the horse underneath him. It wasn't until Romeo let another detail slip about something entirely unrelated to their lesson that Riley felt deeply angered instead. He wanted to yell maybe, do something to let him know, but at the same time he knew that wasn't the way. Deep breaths. Nevertheless the air around him had changed. And his anger was going to focus on something, or rather, someone else.

ppffsh dw bout it, my replies are late as always lmao
I... will not deny nor confirm that but perhaps me being insane isn't too far-fetchedcough
lmaoo ofc, there can never be enough gay. although Riley would disagree. he probably wonders how Romeo managed to turn out like this. but he'll love him anyway XD

This is one gorgeous atmospheric piece! I am in love with the angle and lighting you went with, and the casual tone of the scene! And that detail with the dust specks lightened by the sun is perfection! <333

I love the painterly sketchy style! And the lighting and perspective is just wow. The twist of Romeo’s back and the positioning of his hand looks amazing, it must have been such a hard pose to get right from this view.

aw thank you tavie! ahh so many compliments it was, although I actually had to fight with Riley more than Romeo, I feel like I could cover up more mistakes with that twisting of him haha
