Art: The Eagle Big Bang - Illustrations for 'If the Darkness Lasts' [The Eagle]

[motetus]

Illustrations for seascribe's Big Bang Eagle fic If the Darkness Lasts. It's an wonderful canon-era OT3 story... with zombies! A huge thank you to seascribe for writing such a fantastic and enjoyable story for me to illustrate, and for all her encouragement and endless patience every time I emailed her wailing "this is not my best work, I am so sorry, WHY IS STUPID MARCUS HOGGING ALL THE DRAWINGS?"

Warnings: NSFW for nudity/sexual content, and underage sexuality (Cottia is 16/17 years old, though an adult within the setting of the story and I've tried not to make her look visibly underage).

Also, some spoilers for the story, so I'd suggest reading that first (the art is embedded in the fic anyway).

Thank you so much! I'm so, so thrilled you like it that much! I had so much fun doing this (despite feeling rather worn out and unimaginative - thanks for that, thesis) because I got to draw all the things I love but haven't tried drawing before like Cottia and Cub, and Uncle Aquila with clothes on. :D

Yay Cottia and Cub! And clothed Uncle Aquila is my favourite kind of Uncle Aquila. Really, I just spent another 20 minutes staring at all these, they are so wonderful. I'm glad you enjoyed doing them, too, despite thesis woes, and I hope you're proud of them :)
