Description

YAY I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO DOING A FULL PERSONAL ART THING YAY

So anyways. Croi spends a lot of time meditating and practicing his martial arts and working out. He strives to be in top physical and mental form. He also uses this time to introspect on himself, on his past and the events that led him to where he is now.
Mostly that ends up being him remembering those that he's loved and lost.

The thing is, everyone Croi has ever fallen in love with has died. And the ghosts shown here are only a portion of those.

At one point, this "curse" (as he sees it) caused a bit of a mental breakdown that was what largely ended up spurring him into the above habit. It also caused him to swear off love for a while and caused him to turn cold and harsh and off-putting. This ended up changing when he met the woman who would eventually become his second wife (she's the one on the top left btw).

Anyways. He still keeps up with the practicing and the remembering, though now it serves the purpose of helping him remember that even if bad things happen, love is still worth it and in the end things will turn out okay, whereas beforehand it was about wallowing in self-pity and emotional pain. It now also helps him feel some sort of peace by essentially paying tribute to the ones he's lost.

SO YEAH.

THE SPACE BACKGROUND WAS FUN.

Originally I was gonna try to give this an actual background, like with him being in his room, but I don't have the expertise in backgrounds to do that <XDD;

Croi and the ghosty heads of his past relationships are mine :'D

I can't really imagine this with an 'actual' background, as the space bg kinda goes with this more spiritual remembrance theme. This could have benefited from some bolder shading and looser outlines on the character busts from his memory, but beyond that, this is came out great. Good work. ^^
