Acrylic & Incised Modeling Paste on Illustration Board(click to enlarge)
This is inspired from a Maya relief at Chichen Itza of the Lord & Lady Xoc, from the 9th century I think. When a Lord & Lady married they made a sacrifice to the gods of their own blood. There are some more graphic depictions of self-blood letting but I chose to focus on this more "genteel" image, so to speak.

Really stunning work, concept, composition, colour - everything!
Very interesting and original!
oh boy, and I thought Pete had funny hair do:)
Blood letting, no wonder they both look a little apprehensive!
