beautiful work! if you dont mind me asking, what is the context for "the curtain rises quietly"? it's absolutely lovely

Thank you so much, it's my partner's art! Long story short, it features my character, Orest, who's an actor, and he often dresses up in all sorts of fancy stuff and makeup for the stage, this is one of such moments <3 I don't think we ever discussed what play could it be exactly, so I don't have much more on that work in particular, but I could show you a profile of the character/some of his lore!

Please do, thank you! I ended up buying the print, the art and character are so compelling!

Oh my Gosh, thank you, that's super sweet of you! Here's his profile with plentyyy of art by me and my partner, https://toyhou.se/11654688.orest and if you'd like some really in-depth story of his, I'm slowly putting it all down here (it's really long though XD) https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....89saOIr20/edit
