The Foolish Bastard And The Bastard's Fool

mother and son

It turns out that the only thing between me and staying up all night very night drawing these idiots for the last few years has been that my degree’s kept me too busy

I need Fool rehab, is my point (also since drawing my first Fitz the other day I have come to the conclusion I LIKE drawing Fitz). It is HALF PAST FIVE IN THE MORNING.

I haven’t been posting much on Tumblr but I’ve mostly been moping about Fitz and Beloved and it shows

Meditation by Eugène Grasset (1845 - 1917)

Realder had grown quickly and clearly adored the Fool as much as the Fool adored him. Rarely did I see one without the other in those early days, the little cat always trailing behind my friend, curling around his ankles and playfully weaving between his legs as he went about his daily tasks. It was a comical yet strangely eerie sight, for almost, they could have matched one another in coloration; the Fool now dark as newly polished wood and his tabby gleaming brown beside him.

I commissioned the most lovely portrait of post FF OCACD era Beloved and Realder (and the embroidered purple vest!!!!!!) from the stupendously talented @risoria and I could not be more in love with it 💛 Every little detail is so stunning and Beloved and his kitty couldn't be sweeter... Little wonder Fitz is so down bad! Even I can't stop staring 😍
