Letting ideas go (for now)
Added 2018-07-22 16:55:00 +0000 UTCI always get ideas that never go any further than this one did. I wanted the piece to be very symbolic, and to tread that line between beautiful and morbid that I'm so fond of.

Not only was it too cluttered visually, it took my original intention of 'what if' and made it a reality. It was supposed to be, 'what if Zevran killed the Warden', 'if the Warden killed Zevran' or 'If the Antivan Crows got to him in the end.'

I am not sure why I stopped working on this. I really like the idea, and will probably return to it one day. Sometimes there is just not enough time or motivation to finish, and I think that's perfectly normal.
