I'll kill you first, you wait and see

"...You devil undercover"
Misery loves company - Emilie Autumn

Lorraine and Edward.
Lorraine is mine, Edward belongs to Dollneedle, they're the focus on this RPG set in Victorian England that we've been playing around with for a couple of years. They are both pretty terrible people, and neither of them are above murdering to get what they want, but with each other they are such sentimental saps, and regardless of any harsh words, cheating, kidnappings or threats, they would never actually kill each other.
I wanted to symbolize that somehow, so that's where their weapons come in. Edward's gun is smoking, but his finger is not on the trigger. Lorraine's knife is bloody, but isn't actually touching his skin. Such an adorable couple ;D

I had a lot of trouble with this one. I had the idea in my head, but no matter what I did, I couldn't figure out how to position them to get the effect I wanted while still not looking completely awkward. Edward was originally meant to be standing behind Lorraine, but I just couldn't come up with a pose that allowed them both to point their weapons at each other. Then I stumbled upon this stock photo and it changed everything.
I had to edit the pose quire a bit, but it gave me a basic pose to work from.
It was both fun and frustrating to work on this piece, but I'm glad I did it. There's a lot of things that are bothering me, but I honestly can't keep working any more on it now, so I'm gonna leave it as is.

I just watched Crimson Peak so I have that on the mind, and I can't help but be reminded of it looking at this, despite the different features and the fact I'm sure they're not siblings xD
It's really lovely!! The poses really worked out for you and Lorraine's eyes have to be my favourite part~ My one qualm is I keep forgetting that Edward's holding a gun, it takes me a moment to register he's holding anything there; I think it's possibly because it runs along the same line as his vest collar? That's all though :aww:
