Iisjah's love - Iisjah O'Riley OC-Pageant Round 6

Round six (and final) of :icontheoc-pageantofda:

This final round we were to show our characters greatest love of their life.

So I had a think.

As far as Iisjah and love go he has a few.
His first love - his kids - I already illustrated in the pageant in storytelling round. 
Also as much as he loves them, Iisjah, deep inside, knows he will outlive them. He may not think of it often but it's always somewhere in the back of his mind.

His second love is the sea, but it's bittersweet, as Iisjah can't really get near salty water due to his vampirism (also having the ruling god of water have a grudge against him doesn't help).

So that get's us to his third love - TEA!

Tea is a things that gives him a bit of a downtime during his frantic life. It helps him get through the day and gets his mind calm for at least a bit - his own personal form of meditation. No matter how tiring and unlucky his day might have been some tea will fix that right up.

Also Iisjah loves collecting rare teacups - one normal hobby he has. 

I decided to get a bit symbolic with the art here.

Teacups and tea bushes and his favorite armchair are keeping the stormy waters of his normal life away from him for the bit of time he is enjoying a nice sip.
Even though he still has one leg inside the stormy water - he's not rid of that hectic life he leads.

I wanted his clothes to be both tea inspired and cozy - to show the soft, safe feeling he get's while enjoying his tea.
The coat is of course inspired by a teacup - with his scarf imitating  handle. His shirt is kimono style, tea colored one  and his pants have a porcelain teacup like applications. And there are tea flowers in his hair.


I hope his love is recognizable from the first (or at least first plus a bit of thinking) glance.


Hah I started with a coat on his first round and I'm ending with one - quite fitting :3

I just love the sheer amount of- well, tea and water and teacups and patters here! And how it's both symbolic and has a stained glass painting vibe and is actually a solid scene I can imagine happening in Iisjah's adventures! And tea and the sea happen to be among my favourite things too!! :D

Congrats of the first place! :w00t: sdjfhjsdf so late commenting on EVERYTHING
