Description

 ENJOY THE MUSIC   

The song you can hear in the middle takes its origin back in XVI century. I really like this version from album "El Último" by LOS INCAS.

"Life isn't worth living without love", so go the words of this Spanish "villancio" from the Conquest period.

Here are English subtitles:

It is better to exchange
pleasure for pain
than to live without love. 

If you are thankful
it is sweet to die,
to live in oblivion
is not to live at all
It is better to endure
passion and pain
than to live without love.
 
It is a wasted life
to live without love
it is a better living
to know how to use it
It is better to grieve
suffering pain
than to live without love.


By the way, i figured how Mordecai from Borderlands could become so bright... i guess i filled him with ultra-purified Argent plasma. kek

By the way, Mordecai's riding scythid's name is Horse

A skag with coral themed plates/hide (It looks more like a skag than a scythid)

Coral skag sounds alright. can you draw it? (sure, skag is a different species)

By the way, José the scythid(four legged character under Mordecai's butt on the painting above) is much different from other scythids, he evolved from tiny crawler this way because he likes to wach ancient Terran cowboy films with horses. He also developed an additional peripheral pair of eyes on his head to make reading of Mordecai's books more comfortable. Though his primal eyes (beads above the forelimb) became less functional, he has a human rider to compensate this.

This is beautiful! Love the amount of detail and vibrant colours in the scenery and characters. You always capture atmosphere of Pandora so well in your paintings. Gotta adore the way you draw pandorian fauna as well! Aaaa, Talon is absolutely adorable here!

Great work as always, keep it up!

I can very clear assume that there is a lore or story behind this picture, just like in Barlowe's work.
