Two of Us Now {art}

Basically I drew this because I wanted needed to.

Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe as Jamie and Claire Fraser, from the Outlander series.

“Don’t be afraid,” he whispered into my hair. “There’s the two of us now.”

Drawn with a digital tablet in GIMP using a promo photo for the Starz production as reference.

Next time I have got to pick a reference that does NOT have that cowl; much as I love it, it's nearly been the end of me twice now, never mind the tartan!

Many huge thanks to [livejournal.com profile] jelazakazone,[livejournal.com profile] amphigoury, and [livejournal.com profile] alby_mangroves for looking this one over!

Thank you so much!

For the cowl I used a really soft edged brush, but for the tartan, the coats, and his vest I actually made separate texture layers. I discovered while doing this one that I actually really like putting texture onto fabric.
