A gift art (or a set of) I made in collaboration with @teamvanessacloud for the extraordinary mod @coppercrane2 for the Holidays. It was my first time using Clip Studio Paint Pro for an entire artwork, thanks to some new brushes I acquired. It's also my first time doing a composite art piece, which consisted of three separate art pieces combined into one.

Inspired by the Ottoman theme of the manga Yume no Shizuku, Rei is portrayed as an Ottoman sultana who falls in love with an official of her court, as portrayed by Jadeite. At least, that’s my interpretation of the events. I made the three artworks to be used as a composite for the final piece above. Fire and ice come together for some serious melting in the hot sands of the Sahara.

Happy New Year, Charlie!
