Had fun doing this over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
drawmelot for a collaboration. It was really interesting to learn what makes Gaius's expressions tick. Turns out you have to rumple up his chin as well as getting the eyebrow and tilt to the mouth right to indicate he's not quite smiling. Otherwise it looks like he's frowning at you. It took a few tries, but I finally got it. :D
Title: Gaius as Taurus
Artist: altocello
Rating: G
Character: Gaius
Medium: Watercolor Pencil
Artist notes: With the art beneath the cut.
Taurus is a sign with earth as its element, hence the brown robes and stone walls. It's ruling planet is Venus, and it's animal is the bull. A spring sign, it is associated with the color green, which I used for the banner background. The poppies embroidered on Gaius's robes are one of Taurus's flowers (very apt for a physician!). One of Taurus's birthstones is lapis lazuli, which is inside the Taurus zodiac symbol brooch. Taurus is known for being patient, steadfast, strong willed, persistent, and dependable. Being warm-hearted, a Taurus is a faithful lover. But a Taurus can also be jealous, possessive, self-indulgent, or greedy.
