King of Hearts: the unconditional heart of father and child

Heartking1

The encompassing king of hearts with progeny proud,
His wealth of children , all endowed,
With love and wisdom , his blood in their vein,
Cherished children, sweetest  fruit of his reign
Medium: graphite on paper, scanned sea moss, digital color. Poem written by Mark Hayward Jenks.

I think this is my favourite so far, and not just because my beloved wrote the poem for it :)

Thanks Allison!

It was done with graphite on paper, scanned in, then painted 100% digitally. I get the paper texture by using a transparent layer in photoshop. I'm still learning how to paint digitally, but the process is really fun!
